出身都道府県から旧帝国大学への地域移動―多次元尺度構成法を用いた地域移動の分散・集中の諸相―

To date, the study of career education has not focused much on the theme of regional mobility in career choice, and there is a need to elucidate this aspect. In this article, we capture regional differences in college mobility patterns by considering the differences in the prefectures of origin and the locations of universities. Specifically, we analyze patterns of admission to former imperial universities in Japan that are unevenly distributed in large urban areas using multi-dimensional scaling. The data used is from the “Complete Record of University Entrance Examinations (Daigaku Nyushi Zenkiroku)” published by Mainichi Shimbun Publishing Inc., which includes data on the number of students who were admitted to universities by high school. The analysis found two major patterns: regions that concentrate the number of admitted students in specific former imperial universities in Japan close to their prefectures of origin, and regions that disperse the number of admitted students among former imperial universities in Japan. This article successfully demonstrates the structural barriers found in college entry and contributes to the direction of micro-macro link studies on career education.
