This paper examines the short-, medium- and long-term impacts of the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, which, like the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, inflicted devastating damage, on the labor market of the disaster-affected areas.This analysis might help us draw up a long-term vision of the reconstruction of the eastern Japan areas devastated by the Great East Japan Earthquake. To sum up our findings, regarding part-time workers, the number of new vacancies increased in the short term while the number of new job seekers declined and the number of job placements also dropped steeply. The number of job placements rebounded substantially in the medium term but fell back later. Regarding full-time workers, it was empirically observed that the growth in the number of job placements declined steeply even though the growth in the numbers of new job seekers and new vacancies rose or remained flat compared with the pre-earthquake level. This is presumed to be due in part to a mismatch between labor supply and demand. The number of job placements for full-time jobs recovered by 1999 (in the medium term) but declined later.
