本章重点讨论 20 世纪 80 年代和 90 年代初日本的工资结构。得益于早期富有洞察力的研究，我们现在对日本劳动力市场的各个方面有了更好的了解。例如，日本著名的劳动实践，如终身雇佣和年资工资，长期以来被认为是日本前现代文化的残余，会阻碍劳动力市场的有效运作，从而干扰现代经济增长。然而，在 20 世纪 90 年代，许多日本企业的研究人员认为，这两者都是有充分理由的理性体系，产生了技术工人的普遍存在，并为日本在第二次世界大战后的经济成功做出了贡献。
This chapter focuses on the wage structure in Japan during the 1980s and early 1990s. Thanks to earlier insightful studies, we now have a better understanding of various aspects of the Japanese labour market. For example, notable Japanese labour practices such as lifetime employment and seniority wages were long regarded as remnants of Japan’s premodern culture which would interfere with the modern economic growth by obstructing the efficient working of the labour market. In the 1990s, however, many researchers of Japanese firms believe that both of these are well-founded rational systems generating a prevalence of skilled workers and that they contributed to Japan’s economic success after the Second World War.
