Deregulation and Employment/Unemployment Problems

Kazumichi Goka

Japanese Economy, 1997, vol. 25, issue 5, 3-44

Abstract: What follows starts with the clarification of the meaning of deregulation policy, in principle, with respect to employment and unemployment, following the introductory chapter's analysis of capitalism under which deregulation policies have been presented. Then, after surveying the elasticization of employment that began in the 1980s and the deregulation policy in the labor field. Finally, we critically examine the current deregulation promotion policy from the viewpoint of employment and unemployment issues, and indicate that the deregulation policy promoted by the Japanese government and the business world will not solve the current unemployment problem, but will increase the seriousness of the problem.
