Abstract: This paper examines trend in labor income inequality for individuals in Japan with focus on young male. Gini coefficient and other inequality measures are computed for labor income of male, using data from Employment Status Survey which covers not only regular workers but non-regular, temporary workers such as freeter - free+albeiter. Inequality measures computed, by controlling for the impact of changes in age structure of population, provide evidences of rise in inequality in labor income, particularly for the young in recent years. Rise in numbers of non-regular workers has contributed to increasing inequality among young male.
