Abstract

In this study, we analyzed what kind of social changes are occurring in society of Japan as the spread of the COVID-19 infection continues. In this study, correlation analysis was performed using data for each prefecture. As a result, it was shown that the number of out-migrants is increasing in areas where the spread of the COVID-19 infection is remarkable. In addition, it was shown that the number of unemployed is increasing in areas where the spread of the COVID-19 infection is remarkable. In urban spaces where such social changes are occurring, economic productivity and income levels may decline. However, it is also true that we need to do more detailed data analysis in the future.
