Until a few years ago I concentrated my attention on workers'
compensa tion programs in the United States and Canada. Because the
United States has 52 programs and Canada has eight, I was exposed
to a diversity of approaches that caused me to believe that few
other approaches existed. Since 1984 I have become more aware of
what the rest of the world has been doing and discovered that my
knowledge needed to be broadened significantly. The trigger action
was a 1984 faculty research exchange agreement between Keio
University in Tokyo and the University of Minnesota that made it
possible for me to spend much of my time studying Japan's workers'
compensation program and comparing it with the United States
approaches. Japan's program had several features that I had not
encountered in the United States or Canada. After this experience I
attached considerably more value to and spent more time studying
the Social Security Administration's biennial reports on Social
Security Pro grams Throughout The World, which include workers'
compensation programs. I also presented papers at two meetings of
the International Insurance Society based on my Japanese and Social
Security Adminis tration report research. Many participants urged
further study in this area and offered to send me materials
describing their nations' programs. The result is this study which
I hope that readers will find interesting and worthwhile."
