Abstract

The first part of this chapter describes the historical development of the key institutions of employment relations in postwar Japan, focusing on the politics between state, firm and labor unions that made the status of regular (and non-regular) employment. The second part of the chapter looks at the historical development of Japanese employment relations; first, in terms of the aspects of employment relations: contract/effort and mobility by shedding light on the employment structure of the Japanese firm, and then the major characteristics of Japanese employment relations are conceptualized at the end of the section. In the third part, the structure of the regulation of Japanese employment relations will be summarized, and the recent trend in labor relations will be introduced to analyze specific issues of employment and labor markets from Chapter 3.
