Migration, age, and education:  a cross-sectional analysis of geographic labor mobility in Japan.
"This paper presents some new empirical evidence on the determinants of prefecture-to-city migration in Japan, using a model based on the human capital-search theoretic approach."  Several hypotheses relating the rate of migration to age, education, distance moved, and earnings are tested, and the applicability of the theoretical framework to the analysis of labor migration in Japan is evaluated.  Data are from the 1970 census and the 1968 Employment Status Survey.
