Abstract
This paper aims to analyse the newest feature of industrial structure of Japanese working population. According to a statistical analysis, industrial structure in 1975 was normal and common as compared with the same income level countries - Italy, U. K. , Austria, Finland, New Zealand and France. We should not conclude from such data that Japanese economy has progressed reasonably. Considering the bad situation of farm land, too many workers are located in agricultural sector. Two conditions - the government protective policy for agriculture and the farmers desire to keep their own farmland - made Japanese agriculture have so many working population. In the third industry, the rate of working population of commercial sector is much higher than that of service sector. This rate was especially abnormal for developed country. In my opinion, this was derived from 55 years limit and much retirement allowance in comparison with western developed countries. Such retired employees seem to go to work in commercial sector as self-management workers or enterprisers of small business owing to the lack of complete annuity system.
