With the rapid economic development from the Meiji era on, Japan has progressed from an agricultural nation at the beginnig of this century to a present‐day advanced industrialized nation. However, because of a pronounced regional concentration of industry which exists despite Japan's small size, there have come to be wide regional differences in the structure of industry. I believe that this may be witnessed in the regional differences in the distribution of industrial empolyment.
