  • Is Remote Working a Magic Wand? Geographic Differences in the Feasibility of Working from Home and Women’s Employment

    SSRN  2022.12

    Research paper (scientific journal), Single Work, Lead author

    　View Summary

    This study finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the number of jobs on offer while causing a slight reduction in employment and wage rates in Japan. In particular, the high feasibility of working from home has positively affected the number of offered part-time jobs and negatively affected the offered wages for full-time jobs. Work-from-home culture gained popularity across Japan during the pandemic; it was expected to have a positive impact on women-friendly work environments and curb women’s migration from rural to urban areas. However, jobs with greater feasibility of working from home are offered in urban areas than in rural areas. Furthermore, municipalities that offer more jobs that women tend to work and municipalities that offer a limited variety of occupations provide less opportunities of working from home. In Japan, hybrid working has become more popular than full remote work. Therefore, solely promoting a remote work environment is excessive expectation; we need to ensure its effectiveness.

  • Effects of Minimum Wage Changes on Labor Demand

    Sachiko Kazekami and Masahiro Abe

    Under review  2022.12

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Lead author

    　View Summary

    We examine the effects of changes in minimum wage (MW) on labor demand and whether its impact varies with regional differences, using job advertisement data in Japan. We find that the increase in the number of jobs offered above the MW exceeds the decrease below the MW. The total growth is approximately 7–10%. Without waiting for a new MW, the job offers above the MW will increase. Furthermore, our findings show that the more monopsony the labor market is, the more jobs are offered, owing to an increase in MW.

  • Regional Differences in the Epidemic Shock on the Local Labor Market and its Spread

    Sachiko Kazekami

    LABOUR （Wiley (John Wiley & Sons, Inc.))  36 （ 1 ） 115 - 144 2021.12

    Research paper (scientific journal), Single Work, Accepted

    　View Summary

    First, using the sequential linear panel data-estimation model and maps, we demonstrate the relocation of job-posting places, especially for part-time jobs. We use data on the number of job postings at the public employment security office in Japan. These changes in the posting places are clearly observable in the retail trade for part- and full-time jobs. In contrast, we do not find discernible relocation in the information-services industry. The impact of the COVID-19 shock varies by geographic location. However, if people’s mobility rate, the number of infected people, or the declaration of the state of emergency are controlled for, the number of job postings differs among areas.
    Therefore, second, this study explores the factors that account for the differences in the number of job offers among areas. We find that industrial diversity increases the number of job postings for part- and full-time jobs in 2021, that is, one year after the first wave of the pandemic began. In contrast, industrial specialization has a negative impact in 2021. Higher rigidity of finance decreases the number of part-time job postings immediately after the first wave of the pandemic because local governments cannot provide various support measures to create jobs. However, this financial effect disappears with time. Furthermore, higher financial capability positively affects part-time job postings, although they are not efficient in creating full-time jobs. The unemployment rate in 2015 negatively affects the regional differences in job postings after 2021. Regarding whether firms seek regions with rich human resources, the result is unexpectedly unclear.
