When the Obunsha Education Information Center investigated which region's universities enrolled in universities nationwide, it was concentrated in metropolitan areas such as the Tokyo metropolitan area and the Kansai area, and it was found that the outflow was excessive in 37 prefectures. Do you get it.
The survey is based on the 2016 school basic survey preliminary figures of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and summarizes the movements of those who go on to higher education from the location data of the high school from which they were born and the location data of the university faculty they entered.According to the report, the excess influx of university enrollment was in 7 prefectures, including 3,821 in Tokyo, 1 in Kyoto, and 7,920 in Osaka.In the Tokyo metropolitan area, Kanagawa prefecture (6,317 people) and in the Kansai area, Shiga prefecture (10 people) entered, accounting for half of the inflow prefectures.
Miyagi, Aichi, Ishikawa, Okayama, and Fukuoka prefectures had excess inflows outside the Tokyo metropolitan area and the Kansai area.It was an era when regional revitalization was called for, but it became clear again that local students were flowing to metropolitan areas.In the 37 prefectures with excess outflows, hundreds to thousands of young people have been outflowed to the city every year on the occasion of going on to university, but there have been no signs of change in that trend.
Aichi Prefecture had the highest rate of enrollment in the local area at 71.4%.This is followed by Hokkaido 67.1%, Tokyo 65.7%, Fukuoka prefecture 64.6%, and Miyagi prefecture 57.4%. Nine prefectures exceeded 50%, with the exception of Okinawa prefecture, which has government-designated cities that serve as regional bases.In the remaining 9 prefectures, more than half of the university students have flowed out to other prefectures.
However, if the concentration in Tokyo continues, that tendency is fading, albeit a little.Looking at the birthplaces of those who went on to university in Tokyo, about 76% were from the Kanto region. Since it was about 20% 70 years ago, it can be said that Kanto localization has progressed a little.
