This report clarifies economic gap structure in Japan through changes in the rural labor market and considers methods to reform this gap structure from its lowest level is realized. It is widely pointed out that Japan presently faces growing economic gap. However simply pointing out the problem does not provide any solution to the questions, "Which direction should the economic gap be steered?" or simply "Is the gap going to the right direction?", because no one knows the admissible extent of the gap. The best approach to the addressing gap problem is to improve its lowest level. Its improvement would steadily narrow the economic gap. This approach will assure us that we will not make a mistake when narrowing the gap. The first step for us to take to realize this approach is to prasp the exact elements of those who are considered to belong to the lowest group. The rural labor market consists of the base of the labor market in Japan. At the base, both family agricultural labor and non-agricultural labor are mixed in part-time farm households. The mixtures differ by esch part-time farm household recognizing the actual condition of the part-time farm household by class, and solve the nature of inconsistency at its concentration point. This paper shows that solution of this inconsistency is an important focal point in the relaxation of economic gap.
