Redundant employees who turn up for work every day

Abstract

A company’s “core” workers in Japan can still expect jobs for life, but recession has brought an end to automatic progression up the corporation’s hierarchy. The result is a growing army of “plateaued” middle‐aged and older employees. Some fare even worse. They remain on the company payroll but are, to all intents and purposes, unemployed. This article explores their plight.
