Abstract

This paper focuses on what type of laborers chooses which of the six types of uses of paid vacations. In this paper, we conduct a multinomial logistic regression analysis with the “six types of uses of paid vacations” which are “share method”, “progressive method”, “regressive method”, “self-pay method (advance)”, “self-pay method (arrears)”, and “self-pay method (work at home)” as object variables. As a result, many of the independent variables did not influence which type was chosen, but interesting variables “information is not shared” and “those around me take paid vacation” were influential, revealing that different types of choices are made depending on how participants work.

Summary

Introduction

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare presented a report that described a request to companies to implement a structure to allow workers to take five or more days per year of annual paid vacation (or “paid vacation”) to the Subcommittee of the Labor Policy Council on February 6, 2015. It aims at improving the use rate of paid vacation which still remains at a low level, specifying the target as “workers who have 10 or more days of paid vacation per year”. In order to present measures to promote the use of paid vacation, this paper clarifies the “operation of paid vacation” as the largest factor that is interfering the use of paid vacation with the approach of economics that produced excellent previous studies on paid vacation
