Abstract

In recent years, the relationship between HIGHER EDUCATION and work is attracting a considerable attention in developed and developing countries. the ratio of students going on to HIGHER EDUCATION has increased in Japan as well as in European countries since the end of 1980, which are expressed as a "massification" phase. On the other hans, in the development of knowledge-based economy resulting from widespread diffusion of information technology and advancement of socio-economic internationalization, the societys requirements for human resource are changing and the area of professional activities for graduates of HIGHER EDUCATION and the recruitment system are changing. This paper analyses the relationship between HIGHER EDUCATION and work market with particular references to the lifetime (long-term) employment system in Japan. The long-term employment system became the norm at most companies during the rapid economic growth of the 1960s. This employment system reflects the tendency of management to favor the in-house training of personnel over a long period of time. The relationships between economic trends and graduate employment opportunities are discussed, highlighting the impact of univerisity expansion, the trend towards equalization of earnings, the marked increase in female participation, changing patterns of movement towards and away from city locations and the diversification of industry into new fields such as information science. Detailed examination of the transition from the educational to the employment system confirms the importance of cultural and social factors. The Japanese approach implies a company-oriented theory of HUMAN CAPITAL which isin contrast with the more individualistic theories typical of Western countries. However, changes in Japanese cultural attitudes, employment and socio-economic system, developments in the way in which modem industry is structured and the drive towards internationalization, all point towards the adoption of a more individualistic theory of HUMAN CAPITAL. The author shows that the existence of a high-quality LABOUR FORCE was a key factor in the post-war recovery of the Japanese economy, and the future economic success of Japan will depend on its ability to adapt to an ageing labour force. the days of a young, growing LABOUR FORCE in which educational attainment was increasing rapidly, are over. Labour productivity and labour costs of production will depend on the effective management of an ageing LABOUR FORCE. The paper concludes by reviewing recent innovations aimed at tackling the new challenges. In Japan, nurturing of problem pursuing ability" in university education has been emphasized after the stipulation of founding standards for a university, etc. in 1991 and curriculum reform has been demanded by various circles.
