Abstract

Recesszióban csökken a foglalkoztatottak száma, növekszik a munkanélküliség hosszú ideig úgy tűnt, hogy ez az összefüggés mindenütt igaz, Japánt kivéve. A kilencvenes évek elhúzódó válsága azonban már a szigetország teljes foglalkoztatását is kikezdte: a japán munkanélküliségi ráta meghaladja az Egyesült Államokban mért értéket, az OECD-átlag felé közelít. Az állástalanok számának ugrásszerű növekedéséből az elemzők hajlamosak arra következtetni, hogy az egyet jelent a japán stílusú foglalkoztatási rendszer, ezen belül is az élethossziglan tartó foglalkoztatás végével. A szerzőpáros szerint bár a rendszer nem maradt érintetlen, a növekvő munkanélküliség okait egészen a legutóbbi időkig másutt kellett keresni. A japán munkaerőpiac hármas szegmentációján belül a dolgozók korábban is csak mintegy egyötödét érintő élethossziglan tartó foglalkoztatás a kilencvenes években is többékevésbé érvényben maradt. Munkanélkülivé nagy valószínűséggel a perifériális helyzetűek váltak, akiknek aránya tendenciaszerűen folyamatosan növekedett, ám nem a munkahely védettségét továbbra is élvező centrális csoport, hanem egy az elemzések által eddig elhanyagolt marginális csoport rovására. A változások napjainkra érték el a rendszer magját: a hagyományos japán modell megszűnőben van, de az új még nem alakult ki.
