Description
The economic performance of a national economy, as shown by indicators such as the rate of unemployment and inflation, is dependent on the operation of its external and internal labour markets. From this standpoint, this book focuses on the functions and interactions of internal labour markets and their interaction with external labour markets, comparing those of the Japanese and Western styles. The differing mechanisms of internal labour markets are examined by a range of contributors from Japan, North America and Europe.
