概要 Attending selective junior high schools is considered to facilitate better education, jobs, and higher salaries. To evaluate the significance of junior high school entrance examinations, this study investigated whether attending selective junior high schools is associated with higher educational attainment, perceived standard of living, and personal income. An online survey was conducted with 450 young Japanese individuals aged 25–39 years. Overall, we found that attending selective junior high schools contributes to higher standard of living, as well as obtaining higher education; however, its effect on increasing income was found only among women, which may be influenced by social and cultural factors, such as, the unmarried rates and working style in Japan. Additionally, the differences between the effects of attending selective junior high schools and those of higher educational attainment are discussed. (Tokyo Future University Special Grant)
