This book provides a comprehensive overview of Japanese labour
market institutions and practices with respect to employment issues
and labour payments. It contains extensive discussion of the
effects of industrial relations, small business activity, business
cycles and schooling on work and pay. An early chapter is devoted
to presenting, in an accessible manner, essential labour market
ideas and concepts that recur throughout the text. Important topics
covered include (i) unions and wage determination, (ii) the
breakdown of total labour costs, (iii) the Japanese bonus system,
(iv) the employment life-cycle, (v) small businesses and
subcontracting, (vi) pay and productivity over the business cycle.
A key feature is that subject areas and themes are examined within
a comparative United States/European framework. This allows
assessments of whether or not the structure and performance of the
Japanese labour market has differed from experience elsewhere.
