The prolonged stagnation after the bubble burst induced an increasing number of people to criticize the Japanese employment system as a barrier to the structural changes needed to allow the economy to adjust to the new environment, with detractors suggesting that such a system only serves to protect the vested interests of incumbent workers and firms. By investigating what caused the long stagnation of the Japanese economy, this book examines the validity of this currently dominant view about the Japanese employment system. The rigorous theoretical and empirical analyses presented in this book provide readers with deep insights into the nature of the current Japanese labor market and its macroeconomic impacts. 410 0$aAdvances in Japanese Business and Economics,$x2197-8859 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aLabor Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W37000 606 $aEconomic Growth$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W44000 606 $aSocial Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 14$aLabor Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Growth. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 676 $a331.120952 700 $aKitagawa$b Akiomi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062530 702 $aOhta$b Souichi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aTeruyama$b Hiroshi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299652903321 996 $aThe Changing Japanese Labor Market$92526379 997 $aUNINA
