若者の教育から職業への移行における「格差」形成

――日本型選抜の趨勢と支援――

抄録

The purpose of this paper is to examine the formation of “disparities” in the transition from school to work, and to discuss ideal methods for support.

In the early 21st century, young people were able to become full-time workers even if they had become part-time workers after leaving school. In other words, Japanese society compensated for the initial “disparity” in the transition from school to work. However, the following two points were clarified in February 2006, according to a survey carried out on 2,000 young people in Tokyo.

First, in the period from 2001 to 2006, the selection of full time worker was nearly completed at the point when young people left school.

Second, academic background is growing and social background is weakening as factors for the selection of full-time workers.

To put a brake on the expansion of “disparities,” it is necessary to secure higher education as a right, and create laws to provide equal conditions to irregular workers, and to provide support for the transition from “Freeter” (job-hopping part-time workers) to full time worker.
