This paper revisits and claifies the issues relating to the early careers of doctorate holders and the reform of graduate education, while at the same time considering the significance of doctorate holdres as a particular group of professional. In this paper, initially, we introduce the condition of the labor market for doctorate holders, and perform international comparisons to demonstrate that the state of the post-doctoral market in Japan is not particularly unusual. We also introduce the idea that a new paradigm is emerging among doctorate holders, which differs from the conventional perspectives both of doctorate holders and professionalism. This new paradigm, which expresses itself in the phrase "one profession, multiple careers," categorizes the doctorate not simply as a part of one's educational history, but in fact as a whole new area of professional. estimating the lifeling rate of entry to Ph.D. programs i Japan from this perspective shows that the rate is not in fact falling significantly, and that it is perhaps premature to link the superficial falling rate of progression to doctoral programs to a process of readjustment in supply and demand within the market for doctorate holders.
