labour relations in Japan

Abstract

It would be wrong to imagine that the Japanese modern industrial structure is primarily made up of internationally known groups such as Mitsubishi, Toyota and Sony. The practical position is somewhat different. Certainly the large internationally known groups are quite fundamental to the modern, highly industrialised, infrastructure, particularly as these groups are export orientated. However, in terms of employment, if a boundary is taken of enterprises employing 1 000 employees or more, these major groups only accounted in 1975 for some 24 per cent of the employed working population.
