Abstract

Population aging necessitates new approaches to understanding and explaining inequality in a society. If so, what approaches should be taken to deal with social disparity issues in a society with an increasing number of elderly people? What kinds of information and research data are needed for this purpose? To address these issues, this chapter endeavors to estimate male elderly people’s income history, that is, income at all age points in the past, based on their job history data. Furthermore, this chapter analyzes how the elderly people’s estimated income history affects their current socioeconomic status. Through these analyses, this chapter proposes a new approach to understanding inequality among elderly people based on the perspective that employment positions, from the past to the present, determine one’s socioeconomic status.
