This paper aims to compare the average incomes of three groups of Japanese
university graduates: medical, STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics),
and non-STEM/M graduates. Previous studies have shown that graduates of STEM/M
(STEM and medicine) earn more than non-STEM/M graduates, and have argued that
this difference is because STEM graduates create higher additional value than non-
STEM/M graduates. However, those studies did not consider variables that should be
important determinants of income in the Japanese labor market. Moreover, there are
strong doubts about the interpretation that the higher incomes of STEM/M graduates
result from the higher additional value STEM graduates create.
Drawing on the 2005 Social Stratification and Social Mobility national survey
data, this paper examines whether STEM/M graduates earn more than non-STEM/M
graduates, after controlling for other important determinants of income. The results
from a multiple regression analysis estimating the effect of STEM/M on income shows
that STEM/M graduates earn more than non-STEM/M graduates. When separating
medical and STEM graduates, however, the estimated effect of a STEM major is not
statistically significant and its value is low (1% higher than non-STEM/M). Moreover,
when the sample is divided into men and women, there is a significant gender
discrepancy in the effect of a STEM major: male STEM graduates earn more than male
non-STEM/M graduates while female STEM graduates earn much less than female
non-STEM/M graduates.
