Changes in Work and Family Life in Japan Under COVID-19

Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)

This book describes how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the way of work, the division of household labor, and family formation in Japan. One of the characteristics of Japanese employment practices is a stable employer–employment relationship and seniority-based wage system. In return, long working hours, especially for men who are called “salarymen” (salaried workers, or “company men”), are required. The pandemic has led to an expansion of telework and has reduced their working hours, which has made them return to their homes to work.

This book provides a portrait of Japan’s experience regarding the notable impacts of the pandemic on work and family life.weiterlesen
