(1) Percentage of Upper Secondary School Graduates Entering Institutions of Higher Education
b. Prefectural Comparison
As mentioned in the preceding pages, the percentage of the age
group entering institutions of higher education has increased. But it differed
very much according to prefecture, ranging in 1963 from 36.1 per cent in Tokyo
to 8.8 per cent in Aomori prefecture. This percentage corresponds closely to
the prefectural income per capita and to the industrial structure as indicated
by the percentage of total employed population engaged in secondary and tertiary
sectors.
