LEGAL POLICY ON THE EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT PROCESS

1.作为本研究项目的第一步，我们收集了日本、德国和法国有关老年员工劳动和社会保障政策及其退休程序的书籍、文章和文献。考虑到经济和社会学方面在这一领域的重要性，我们不仅努力收集法律资料，而且努力收集经济和社会学资料。第二步，我们对这些资料进行分析，从比较的角度明确日本退休过程的特殊性。根据这些分析的结果，我们对1994年终身雇佣制度的修订和公共养老金计划的改革进行了展望。总而言之，就劳动政策而言，考虑到鼓励雇佣制度的灵活性，是否有必要修改外部劳动市场规定？1994年的公共养恤金计划改革值得赞赏，但“部分养恤金”的引入和计划的复杂性应该受到批评。有关分析和结论的详细信息，请参阅本项目每个成员出版的一本书或一篇文章（参见参考文献列表）。我们利用个人计算机建立了劳动和社会保障法的数据库，为今后的研究奠定了基础。

1.As the first step of this research project, we gathered the books, articles and documents on the labor and the social security policy concerning the elder employees and their retirement process in Japan as well as in German and in France. Considering the importance of economic and sociological aspects in this field, we made the efforts to gather not only the legal materiaals, but also the economic and sociological ones.2.As the second step, we analyzed these materials to make clear the special features of the Japanese retirement process from comparative point of view. Referring to the results of these analyzes, we discussed the perspective on the revision of the life term employment system and the reform of the public pension scheme in 1994.3.To conclude, concerning the labor law policy, we will have to wonder if the revision of the external labor market regulations may not be necessary in consideration of the encouragement of the employment system flexibility. The public pension scheme reform in 1994 has to be appreciated, but the introduction of the "partial pension" and the complexity of the scheme should be criticized. For the detail of the analyzes and the conclusions, see a book or an article published by each member of this project (see the list of references).4.Using the personal computer, we make the data base on the labor and social security law, which will be very useful for the future research.
