Title: An economic analysis of teachers’ overwork
Abstract:
Long working hours among schoolteachers in Japan are a major policy concern, yet their determinants remain poorly understood. This study uses alternative data sources and administrative records to examine teachers' working hours and the factors associated with them. First, we compare mobile phone location data with administrative attendance records to assess the accuracy and limitations of location-based measures of working hours. Second, we examine the relationship between teachers' observable characteristics and long working hours. Third, we decompose variation in working hours into teacher-, principal- and school-level components to quantify their relative contributions.
