JILPT International Seminar 2009 (January 21-23)
Working Time —in Search of New Research Territories Beyond Flexibility Debates—
JILPT organized the International Seminar on Working Time in January, 2009, a two-day seminar with a closed workshop and an open forum in order to learn from the experiences of each participating country and to draw some policy implications through cross-national discussion and comparative analyses. As the theme of the seminar indicates, this time we took up broader issues beyond flexible working hours, for example: work-life balance, gender gap, growing atypical employment, and long and excessive working time.
The papers presented in the workshop are compiled as JILPT Report No.7 (PDF:2.37MB)
