- 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) * (regular employment indices / 100)} / (indices of industrial production(manufacturing) / 100) ]*100
Regular employment indices, indices of nominal wage and total hours worked indices : manufacturing, 5 employees or more.
