About this book
Japan and Germany have faced very similar challenges, namely ageing populations, changing employment structures, and globalization. This book explores the demographic challenges for human resource management and labour market policies in Germany and Japan and how public and company policies in both countries deal with these challenges.
Reviews
'This is a thought-provoking book; the arguments presented are cogent and convincing... I enjoyed reading Community, Conflict and the State, its coverage is gratifyingly wide, and I would happily recommend it to students, researchers and policy makers.' - Vicky Cattell, Queen Mary University of London, The Journal of Social Policy
