随着时间的推移，日本的非正规就业人数有所增加，人们开始远离婚姻。为了揭示这些问题之间的任何联系，本文使用日本劳动力调查微观数据来检查婚姻状况之间的年度变化，以及这种变化在劳动力市场状况之间的变化，特别是男性正式雇员和非正式雇员之间的变化。我们发现，在不同的年龄组中，即使在控制教育程度后，男性非正式雇员的结婚几率比男性正式雇员低30%至40%。我们还发现，当丈夫是一名非正式雇员时，已婚夫妇离婚的几率比丈夫是一名正式雇员时大两倍。我们的分析揭示了日本从事非正规工作的男性在享受稳定的婚姻关系时所面临的挑战，并揭示了这些挑战的地区异质性。
Over time, Japan has seen an increase in non‐regular employment and a shift away from marriage. To uncover any link between these issues, this paper uses Japanese Labour Force Survey microdata to examine annual transitions between marital statuses and how such transitions vary across labour market statuses, in particular between male regular and non‐regular employees. We find, for different age groups, that the odds ratio of marriage for male non‐regular employees is 30% to 40% lower than that for male regular employees even after controlling for education. We also find that the odds ratio of divorce for married couples is twice as large when the husband is a non‐regular employee than when the husband is a regular employee. Our analysis sheds light on the challenges faced by Japanese males with non‐regular jobs in enjoying stable marital relationships and it reveals the regional heterogeneity of such challenges.
