Following the Second World War, occupational information in Japan was systematically gathered and consolidated by the Ministry of Labour (currently the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) and a research institute that was the predecessor of the Japan Institute for Labour Policy and Training (JILPT). However, until now, this occupational information has been qualitative and descriptive, as no method for the quantifiable expression of the relationships among occupations existed. Moreover, nobody has been able to indicate how occupations correspond with the results of vocational aptitude tests, etc., based on objective numerical data. Against this background, the authors gathered rated scores for the occupations of 24,000 people who are actually employed in those occupations from over three million web survey panels, using a method of web-based job analysis. We implemented this survey using the United States Department of Labor’s O*NET project as a reference. We then developed numerical criteria for 601 occupations covering 30 aspects concerning the knowledge and skills needed to perform each occupation, the work environments of each occupation, occupational interests, and occupational values. These numerical criteria show a broad range of occupations in quantitative terms. We can quantitatively indicate relationships among occupations in Japan, and can show how occupations correspond with the results of vocational aptitude tests based on numerical data. We are expected to form the foundation for various quantitative studies of occupations.
