本文使用日本的面板数据，实证检验了劳动力市场状况和收入的变化对结婚、生育和就业时机的影响。主要结论是，毕业时的高失业率往往会加快结婚和生育的时间，而毕业后几年失业率的增加则会推迟结婚和生育的时间。这些结果表明，在日本，决策更可能基于就业机会等重大变化，而不是工资率的波动。JEL分类号：J1、J2。
This paper uses Japanese panel data to examine empirically the effect of changes in labour market conditions and income in the timing of marriage, childbirth and employment. The main findings are that a high unemployment rate at the time of graduation tends to speed up the timing of marriage and childbirth, whereas an increase in the unemployment rate in the years after graduation delays the timing of marriage and childbirth. These results suggest that in Japan decisions are more likely to be based upon major changes such as those in employment opportunities than on fluctuations in the wage rate.
