本文从实证角度考察了20世纪90年代至21世纪初日本非就业青年人数增加的决定因素。年龄在15-34岁、没有上学、没有工作的未婚人士分为三类：寻找工作的“求职者”（第一类）；“非求职人士”（第2类）表示有工作意愿但不寻找工作，以及“非求职人士”（第3类）表示没有工作意愿。第2类和第3类非求职人士被定义为“啃老族”或“未就业、未受教育或未接受培训”。多项逻辑回归结果显示，工作预期回报较低的年轻人（如女性、老年人、受教育程度较低的人和长期失业的人）往往不愿工作，成为不找工作的人。此外，有证据表明，收入效应使富裕家庭的年轻人更有可能成为第三类非求职者。然而，来自低收入家庭的失业青年数量一直在增加，因此，收入对第三类失业的影响最近变得不那么重要了。结果，来自日本贫困家庭的年轻、受教育程度较低的男性比中等收入家庭的男性更有可能对工作失去兴趣。
This paper empirically examines the determinants of non-employed young Japanese people, whose number increased from the 1990s to the beginning of the 2000s. Non-working unmarried persons aged 15-34, who do not attend school, are classified into three types: 'job seekers' (type 1), who search for jobs; 'non-job seekers' (type 2), who express a desire to work but do not search for jobs, and 'non-job seekers' (type 3), who express no desire to work Those in type 2 and type 3, non-job seekers, are defined to be 'NEET' or 'not in employment, education or training'. Multinomial logistic regression results show that young persons whose expected returns from working are low-such as females, older people, the less educated and the long-term jobless-tend to refrain from working and become non-job seekers. Moreover there is evidence of an income effect that makes youths from wealthy families more likely to be type 3 non-job seekers. However, the number of jobless youths from lower-income households has been increasing and hence, the income effect on type 3 jobless has become less relevant recently As a result, young, less-educated males from poor families in Japan have become more likely to lose interest in work rather than those in middle-income families.
