Changes in Corporate Governance and Employment Systems and Challenges Labor Law faces

日本“依赖实践”的利益相关者模式的公司治理和雇佣制度都在经历着巨大的变化。针对这些变化，日本劳动法采取了各种对策。但是，需要重新考虑条例的方法，并采用由实质性和程序性条例组成的混合条例。特别是，由于员工代表是程序性规定的关键角色，也是传达员工声音的公司治理的主要参与者，因此有必要认真讨论引入员工代表制度。

Both Japan's "practice-dependent" stakeholder model corporate governance and employment system are experiencing drastic changes. Responding these changes, Japanese labor law has adopted various countermeasures. However, it is needed to reconsider the method of regulations and to introduce hybrid regulations consisting of substantive and procedural regulations. Especially, it is necessary to discuss seriously introducing the employee representative system because employee representatives are key actors in procedural regulations and main participants in corporate governance conveying employees' voices.
