我们回顾了过去15年来日本劳动力市场和就业实践的状况，并试图评估正在发生的变化的性质。我们还研究了政府政策对劳动力市场状况的反应，以及这对未来的影响。尽管资源不断从制造业和农业转移到服务业，但就业做法并没有那么快地发生变化，就业保护实际上更强大了。这一点，再加上工资限制，解释了为什么失业率在近十年的停滞期间只增加了大约2.5个百分点。我们还注意到，政府采取了许多政策来维持现有的就业做法，对于这是不是一件好事，劳工经济学家存在分歧。版权所有2000年，牛津大学出版社。
We review the state of the labour market and employment practices in Japan over the past 15 years and try to evaluate the nature of the changes that have been occurring. We also look at how government policy has reacted to the conditions in the labour market and what implications this has for the future. Although there has been a continual shift of resources away from manufacturing and agriculture into services, employment practices have not been changing so rapidly, and job protection is actually stronger. This, along with wage restraint, accounts for why unemployment has only increased by some 2.5 percentage points during almost a decade of stagnation. We also note that much government policy has acted to maintain existing employment practices and that labour economists are divided as to whether or not this is a good thing.
