The aim of this paper is to overview the wage inequality ibserved in japam from the 1980s to the 2000s, and to examine the relevant influencing factors from the perspective of the aging of the population structure and the increase in non - regular employees. At the end of the 1990s, when there was a substantial worsening of the employment situation, economic inequality seen in household income gaps and individual wage diffentials suddenly started attracting considerable attention in japan. The expression "kakusa shakai (a society of disparity)" further fueled people's concerns over inequality in the 2000 s in the 2005 - 06 diet sessions, in addition to debates associated with tax and social security reforms, active discussions were carried out on the relationship between the expansion of economic inequality and the government's structural reform. Coincidentally, multiple major newspapers featured articles on "kakusa shakai" and conducted public opinion pools regarding inequality one after another. Many adminstrative bodies and itnernational institutions also showed a strong interest in this matter. The annual report on the japanese economy and public finance 2006 referred to the income gaps among youth, while the economic survey of japan released by OECD in july 2006 devoted a full chapter to express concern over growing income differentials in japan.
