Notes

【Course Objectives】

The objectives of this course are (1) to obtain basic knowledge of Japanese labor law in English, (2) to understand the unique characteristics of "Japanese model" of employment (comparing with foreign countries as necessary), and (3) to develop skills of discussing employment-related issues in English.

【Course Contents】

Students will experience "working" sooner or later. Some of them may have started a student part-time job. Labor law is related to all the experience they may have while being employed - recruitment, working, receiving salary, transfer, leaving the company and so on. This course will deal with the role of labor law and help students understand its basic concepts and principles.

This course will also deal with unique characteristics of the Japanese employment system. One of the basic features of the system is called "long-term employment practice". This course will help students understand what makes the Japanese system so unique, by comparing with foreign countries as necessary.

This course will cover basic topics of labor law. Since "work" will be an essential aspect of our life, the knowledge of labor law will be useful no matter what students do in the future. Learning it in English will help students (1) develop their English vocabulary related to work experience in the future and (2) enhance their skills of discussing employment-related issues in English.

This class will be conducted in English.
