This chapter examines another constraint on a mother's ability to work: the time demands placed on her by the Japanese market for education. This, too, is related to internal labor markets: because graduating from a good school is such an important signal to firms seeking skilled labor, and because workers cannot expect to move easily from one firm to another once they are placed, there is a large premium on getting into the best possible school. Mothers face an insurmountable collective dilemma—as long as some women are boosting, or at least perceived to be boosting, their child's chance of lifetime success, everyone else feels tremendous pressure to do the same. The chapter is organized as follows. The second section gives a general overview of how the privatized education market has developed and how families have responded to the demand for education. The third section deals with the longitudinal trends in household spending on education. The fourth section discusses regional variation in development of the private education market and its relation to the prefectural profiles of female labor participation patterns.Less
