Japanese Economy, 1998, vol. 26, issue 1, 55-101

Abstract: The number of employees typical of the big-company model is expected to decrease gradually. According to the annual reports of several well-known Japanese companies, the number of male full-time employees—who are supposedly the family breadwinners—has been falling since the collapse of the "bubble" economy:As shown in Figure 1, the absolute number of male workers at large corporations with more than 1,000 employees, combined with the number of male government employees, began to increase in 1990, toward the end of the "bubble" economy; then, after peaking in 1993, it began to decrease.
