NOTES: Calculated by JILPT

Labor productivity Indices = [(Indices of Industrial production(manufacturing) / 100) / {(regular employment indices / 100) * (total hours worked indices / 100)}]*100

Wage cost =[{(Indices of nominal wage / 100)/ (total hours worked indices / 100) }/ (Indices of Labor productivity) / 100)]*100

Regular employment indices, indices of nominal wage and total hours worked indices : manufacturing, 5 employees or more.
