Andrew Gordon, Harvard University. Annual Marius B. Jansen Memorial Lecture hosted by the East Asian Studies Program. Abstract: From the moment Japan’s employment system was identified as a distinctive entity in the 1950s, scholars and journalists in Japan and elsewhere have been predicting or advocating its demise. The talk will describe and seek to make sense of the undeniably profound changes of the past two decades in the context of this longer past, with particular focus on the rise of various forms of contingent or “non-regular” employment.
