The population and employment mix in medium-sized cities were analyzed with respect to following viewpoints. These are; (1) To find the conditions for self-sustained growth of medium-sized cities in the context of decentralization of population. (2) To develop the analysis on urban employment with special reference to "Minimum Required Employment for City (MREC)". (3) To re-examine economic base theory from the physical planning viewpoint. The data used were population and employment (2 digits classification) of 70 cities with 50, 000 to 500, 000 population in Chubu region in Japan. Followings are the facts found. (1) The larger the size of cities are, the less the growth rates of urban population terd to fluctuate. (2) There is sufficient MREC in the larger size cities in general. (3) The sufficient MREC is also found in the smaller size cities where stable increase of population is seen. (4) The sufficiency of MREC is concerned with the existence of urban area with the certain level of population density. These findings seem to have following implication for re-distribution of population. MREC is brought about presupposing the existence of population agglomeration with the certain level of size and density. MREC should be paid attention not only because it is paid attention not only because it is directly connected with the residents in cities but because it seems to contribute to the redistribution of population. In this sense, specialization of employment toward export sector as is seen in industrial cities is not advisable in terms of both the weffare of residents and the regional allocation of population.
