Earnings losses following job change in Japan: Evidence from a job placement firm

Michael Bognanno and Lisa Delgado

A chapter in Work, Earnings and Other Aspects of the Employment Relation, 2008, pp 225-250 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: The costs of job displacement are examined on a sample of Japanese workers successfully provided job placement services from 2000 to 2003, a period of economic stagnation and structural change in Japan. We find that displaced workers suffer a loss of approximately $1,100 for each additional year of age. Workers also incur a large penalty when they change industries after being displaced. The age–earnings loss relationship is consistent with the operation of a delayed compensation scheme in large firms.
