  • Support for Workers Displaced in the Decline of the Japanese Coal Industry: Formal and Informal Support Naoko Shimazaki Waseda University
    Support for Workers Displaced in the Decline of the Japanese Coal Industry: Formal and Informal Support Naoko Shimazaki Waseda University Japan’s coal industry met its demise following a number of stages of restruc- turing under policies to change the structure of the energy industry. More than 200,000 coal mine workers were displaced from 1955 onward. The task of providing measures for displaced workers was recognized as an issue to be addressed at national level and such initiatives were considered to have con- siderable significance for the interests of society as a whole. This led to the development of substantial support systems of the kind not seen in other in- dustries, and comprehensive measures were adopted to cover not only reemployment, but also relocation, housing, and vocational training. However, fundamental issues faced by the unemployed were left unresolved. Formal support therefore in fact relied on the strength of individual companies and re- gional communities, and developed distinct characteristics. The insufficiencies of the formal support systems were compensated for by informal support based on personal relationships which were characteristic of the unique culture of coal mining. In particular, there was a strong sense of solidarity among fel- low mine workers. The support for displaced workers included not only finan- cial assistance, but also individual support, such as individual counselling and employment assistance provided by former coal mine employees acting as counselors. The labor unions played a central role in developing these measures. Such support was very strongly in tune with the workers’ culture generated within coal mining communities. I. Coal Policy and Measures for Displaced Workers in Japan The coal industry is a typical example of industrial restructuring in Japan.

Almost 1,000 large and small islands, with their intricate coastlines amounting to some 7,230km in length, form the beautiful, distinct scenery of the region. A total of 643 different river water sources feed the Sea from the surrounding mountainous watershed , with fifty billion cubic meters flowing into the Sea each year. The region has a mild temperate climate and relatively little rainfall throughout the year compared to other regions of Japan. Typically, the average temperature is 15 ~ 16°C, with The Seto Inland Sea and its watershed area rainfall of 1,000 ~ 1,900mm. 1. Major enclosed coastal seas around population of 127 million.

  • Fukui Prefecture
    NEWS RELEASE May 26, 2020 R&I Affirms AA, Stable: Fukui Prefecture Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I) has announced the following: ISSUER: Fukui Prefecture Issuer Rating: AA, Affirmed Rating Outlook: Stable RATIONALE: In Fukui Prefecture, the construction for extending the Hokuriku Shinkansen line from Kanazawa to Tsuruga is underway in earnest, with the opening scheduled for FY2022 (the year ending March 2023). The expansion of an expressway network including the Chubu Jukan Expressway is also progressing. In the medium term, the upgraded infrastructures will likely attract more visitors and businesses and thereby vitalize and diversify the local economy. In addition to traditional local industries, such as synthetic fiber and eyeglasses, the prefecture is home to leading companies, which enjoy a high global market share in the fields of auto components and electronic parts. Many nuclear power plants located in the Reinan region west of Tsuruga City are an important source of tax revenue.
