Abstract: In the 1960s the corrective agreement system in West Germany experienced an important change. In place of the traditional system of wage regulation that is based on the classic categories of workers, namely skilled, semiskilled and unskilled workers, the system of job evaluation was now introduced into the corrective agreements. In Japan, by contrast, the system of job evaluation was abandoned in the same 1960s after a longtime trial by employers to introduce it. The present article examines this contrasting process in Germany and Japan and sheds light on the different structure of industrial relations in these countries. The historical root of this difference can be found in the 1910s20s as a formation period of modern industrial relations in each country.
