Analysis of the Effect of Employment Creation Projects Considering the Impact on the labor market Caused by Disaster

Abstract

In the reconstruction process from large-scale disasters, economic support
is important because large-scale disasters may give serious damage on the economic situation of local residents. The primary purpose of this study is to conduct a simulation analysis of CFW programs implemented as employment creation project after the Great East Japan Earthquake.We elaborated a previous model to consider the impact on companies and workers in the labor market, and divided a model into three affected areas. We confirmed the model validity by fitting with labor market indicators at that time, analyzed whether the regional characteristics have an influence on the effect of CFW programs and whether the design factors of CFW programs have an influence on the labor market indices and the households that need economic assistance.
