[full-text, 98 pages]

The aim of this booklet is to present a profile of average Japanese

workers through selected statistical figures.

It contains labor statistics relevant to successive stages of a worker's life

from school graduation and entering an enterprise to reaching their

retirement age and receiving retirement allowances. Almost all the

statistics are based upon official sources. The statistics on employment,

wages and working hours constitute the core of this booklet.

As it is a matter of great concern presently, the booklet also contains

statistics on the increase of female and non-regular staffs, as well as

changes in the employment structure.
