Occupational distance is a key component of the social structure of inequality. This study examines the distance in Japan through social relations by using the data from a survey employing the “position generator” method with a list of 72 occupational titles. The focus of the types of social relations is relatives and friends. Correspondence analysis is applied to the stacked table incorporating four sources of data (Questionnaires A/B and the occupations of relatives/friends). Since two dimensions are prominent in contribution, the configuration of occupations in the dimensional space is discussed. One of the factors of segregation is occupational status and another is gender. Regarding the former, the effect of the status gap on association/segregation is examined by model-based analysis. The effect is more prominent for friends than for relatives. The result implies that free choices of people with whom they interact are more deeply embedded in the social structure (inequality). The results in previous studies from another method for capturing social relations (name generator) are also compared and discussed.
