Abstract

It is common for Japanese children and adolescents to dedicate themselves to out-of-school activities such as dancing, playing sports and studying at cram schools. These activities are divided into three categories: cultural experiences, sports experiences, and educational (specialized-school) experiences. So far, the effects of these activities have been analyzed separately, especially sports experiences, and educational experiences were focused on. However, the effect of those activities are well connected and because of the recent trend, many people experience the multiple activities in their childhood. In order for the appropriate analysis, those three categories should be analyzed totally. As a result, it was found that experiences in cultural activities have an influence on participants' future. In the case of women, cultural activities enhanced their academic progress along with income. In the case of men, cultural activities have a synergy with other activities and affect educational progress.
