Structure of Earnings and Investments in Human Resources: A Comparison Between the United States and Japan Final Report, Manpower Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1974 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Blue-Collar Jobs; Cross-national Analysis; Earnings; Industrial Sector; Japan; Japanese; Labor Market Segmentation; Nenko System Model; Occupations; Vocational Education; White Collar Jobs The report compares the shapes of experience-earnings profiles and their differential structure across different segments of the labor market in the United States and in Japan. Three aspects are examined: (1) aggregate shapes of earnings streams, (2) the blue-and white-collar occupational segments, and (3) the large- and small-scale industry segments. Data used are: for the United States, the Survey of Economic Opportunities (l966) and the NLS of Older Men ages 45 to 59 in l966; and for Japan, the Basic Survey of Wage Structures (l967). Similarities and dissimilarities of earnings profiles were analyzed in terms of various theories pertinent to the shape and structure of earnings profiles: human capital theory, the internal labor market thesis, the labor market segmentation theory, the Nenko system model, and the theory of labor market dualism. The observations were interpreted in the light of these theories and the usefulness of their hypotheses were evaluated. The report contains an extensive bibliography on the subject. |
