Abstract
:Extraordinary economic growth in postwar Japan has changed all aspects of Japanese people’s lives, especially job mobility and the labor markets.

In this article, we study how the labor markets have changed as a result of changes in job mobility and the postwar Japanese economy. Our analysis yields the following findings: patterns of job mobility are mainly determined by age, but they are also influenced by the lifetime employment system, the dual structure of the labor markets, and industrial structure. In particular, we observe that the dual structure of the labor markets has become stronger.
