Anyone hoping to understand the fundamentals of Japanese employment law could do worse than to read employment law expert Keiichiro Hamaguchi’s 2021 book “What is a ‘Job-type’ Employment Society?” (Jobu-gata koyō shakai to wa nani ka) or his 2009 book “The New Labor Society — Rebuilding the Employment System” (Atarashii rōdō shakai — koyō shisutemu no sai kōchiku e).
