This volume explains the salient features of the Japanese labour
market and their evolution through time. The key idea is integrated
segmentation: on the demand side, within the educational system; on
the supply side, monitoring the costs which underlie labour
contracts. Demand- and supply-side segmentation exists in a number
of countries. What is peculiar to Japan is the way demand and
supply segmentation overlap and the muting of the wage and income
differentials which segmentation generates. Because it is segmented
on both supply and demand sides the Japanese labour market is
highly competitive; but because it is integrated, cooperation is
deeply rooted within it as well.
