  • Does More Egalitarian Ideology Foster More Egalitarian Household Work Division? Marriage, Work, and Family Life in Japan

    Open AccessBeyda Çineli, Ryota MugiyamaARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2026

    Recent research shows that gender ideology may not be stable among individuals over time. However, there is little evidence on the changes in gender and family attitudes in non-Western contexts. Using data from 11 waves (2011–2021) of the Japanese Panel Survey of Consumers (JPSC), we construct fixed-effects models that reveal how women’s gender attitudes, together with life events such as parenthood and women’s employment, shape unpaid work distr…

  • Changing regional university availability and inequality of educational opportunity in Japan

    Open AccessRyota Mugiyama, Kohei ToyonagaARTICLEEuropean Sociological Review2026Referencias: 55

    The uneven distribution of universities across regions has been argued to create educational inequalities based on place of residence. While studies have shown positive associations between college proximity, measured by distance to nearest college or its presence, and enrolment among local residents, regional availability has often been measured insufficiently, and longitudinal evidence on the relationship is limited. Using multiple social surve…

  • Revisiting the Relationship between Marriage and Childbearing in East Asia

    Open AccessFumiya Uchikoshi, Ryota Mugiyama et al.ARTICLEPopulation and Development Review2026Referencias: 78

    In this study, we propose and evaluate a new framework for understanding “lowest‐low” fertility in East Asia, emphasizing the link between the desire for children and marriage. Recognizing that delayed and declining marriage is the primary reason for low fertility in the region, we posit that marriage decisions are shaped by intentions or incentives (not) to have children. We evaluate this hypothesis using Japan as a case, a society where parenth…

  • More than usage

    Open AccessRyota Mugiyama, Kyoko KomatsuARTICLESocio-Economic Review2025Referencias: 6

    Since the COVID-19 outbreak, there has been renewed interest in remote work. While socioeconomic gap in remote work usage is well-studied, little is known about a key underlying aspect of inequality: access to remote work. Using Japanese panel data from January 2020 to 2024, this study examines the evolution of class and education gaps in access, distinguishing between active use (“access and use”) and potential use (“access but non-use”) among a…

  • Decomposing delayed first marriage and birth across cohorts

    Open AccessRyota MugiyamaARTICLEDemographic Research2025Referencias: 113

    BACKGROUNDIncreased employment instability over recent decades has been argued to contribute to delayed family formation.Although previous research has shown negative associations between employment instabilitysuch as unemployment, nonstandard employment, or unstable employment trajectoriesand entry into marriage and childbirth, direct evidence on how increased employment instability to delayed marriage and childbirth across cohorts remains limit…

  • Whose tastes matter? Discrimination against immigrants in the Japanese labour market

    A Igarashi, Ryota MugiyamaARTICLENew Community2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 62

    The existence and mechanisms of ethnic discrimination in hiring decisions have been extensively studied, but the following two gaps remain: non-Western societies and taste-based discrimination. In this contribution, we investigate whether ethnic discrimination and its mechanisms are similarly observable in the Japanese labour market. Additionally, to reflect Becker’s initial idea, we decompose the sources of taste-based discrimination into employ…

  • Long-term Trends in Women’s Employment and its Educational Differentials in Childbearing and Childrearing

    Open AccessRyota MugiyamaARTICLEJapanese Sociological Review2022

    出産・育児期の女性の就業はどのように変化してきたのか.その変化は階層差を伴って進行してきたのか.これらは,ジェンダー不平等,ならびに女性内・世帯間の階層化の実態を明らかにするうえで重要な問題である.本稿では,高学歴化と並行して生じた自営・家族従業セクターの縮小と非正規雇用セクターの拡大,そして正規雇用セクターの安定的な推移という労働市場の構成変化に着目して,出産・育児期の女性就業の趨勢,ならびにその学歴差を再検討する.1985-2015年SSM調査を用いて,1970-2009年に第1子を出産した女性の出産2年前から6年後までの就業経歴データを構築し,出産年による比較分析を行った.分析の結果は以下の通りである.全体の就業率は微増しているが,その内実をみると自営家族従業での就業率の低下と非正規雇用での就業率の上昇が相伴って進行し,正規雇用での就業率にはほとんど変化がなかった.出産数年後の就業率は上昇したが,その多くは非正規雇用が増えたことによる.学歴別にみると,とくに短大卒層の就業率が大きく…

  • Role of Cohort Size in Trends in Class and Occupational Returns to Education at First Job

    Ryota Mugiyama, Kohei ToyonagaARTICLEEuropean Sociological Review2022Citada por: 2Referencias: 50

    Downward trends in class and occupational returns to education have mainly been attributed to educational expansion via credential inflation. However, despite this rapid educational expansion, trends in returns to education vary across societies. This study proposes that changes in population size can contribute to offsetting the impact of educational expansion, controlling for demand-side factors. Using nationally representative survey data from…
