Labor Policy
Faculty
Y. Genda
Description
Good labor policy in particular is required to find a well-balanced and
convinced outcome by negotiations between different parties with different
interests. This is called the “OTOSHI-DOKORO” in Japanese by
men of action for labor policies. We study what it actually means and how
we can evaluate it in this course.
The specific research topics are, for example, unemployment, human
development, wage inequality, job losses of youths and seniors, work-life
balance, and so on. This course hopes participants to find the
important policy issue voluntarily and to present the solution based on
empirical and theoretical backgrounds.
