Changing regional university availability and inequality of educational opportunity in Japan
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…
Consequences of expanded vocationally oriented programs for gender segregation and inequality
Personality traits and hiring
Although noncognitive skills and personality traits are widely recognized as crucial for understanding social inequality, their effects on labor market outcomes remain underexplored. This study investigates how employers evaluate personality traits of job seekers, focusing on Japan, where the widespread adoption of the Synthetic Personality Inventory (SPI)—a screening tool that combines cognitive ability and personality assessments—has made these…
Role of Cohort Size in Trends in Class and Occupational Returns to Education at First Job
Downward trends in class and occupational returns to education have mainly been attributed to educational expansion via credential inflation.

Using nationally representative survey data from…
