尽管日本女性参与经济的比例持续上升，但性别分工已被视为“正常”，而且仍然很强。本文的目的是研究已婚妇女劳动力参与的决定因素是否以及如何发生变化。基于1985年，1995年，2005年和2015年的全国样本，我们分析了区分双收入夫妇和丈夫唯一提供者夫妇的因素的变化/稳定性，以及这些协会如何随着时间的推移而变化。结果显示，双收入夫妇的数量有所增加，但并不是以恒定的速度增加：直到2005年左右，双收入夫妇的数量一直在缓慢增加，最近又急剧增加。结果还表明，妇女自己的人力资本一直没有已婚妇女的劳动参与的决定因素，直到最近。丈夫的低收入对已婚妇女的劳动力参与有显著的正向影响，这表明丈夫的高职业资源会将妻子赶出劳动力市场，这在保守和地中海福利制度中已经发现。
Despite the continuing rise in Japanese women’s rates of participation in the economy, gender division of labor has been accepted as “normal” and still strong. The aim of this paper is to examine whether and how the determinants of married women’s labor force participation have changed. Based upon national sample in 1985, 1995, 2005, and 2015, we analyze change/stability of the factors that differentiate dual-income couples from husband sole provider couples and how these associations have changed over time. Results show that dual-income couples have increased but it is not at a constant rate: it increased at a slow pace until around 2005, and then increased dramatically recently. The results also show that women’s own human capital has not been a determinant of labor participation for married women until recently. Husband’s low income have a significant positive effect on labor force participation of married women, suggesting that high occupational resources of husband drive wife out of the labor market, which has been found in conservative and Mediterranean welfare regimes.
