Life Time Employment versus Lifetime Employability

Employment is a relationship between two parties, usually based on a contract for work payment, one is an employer and the other is an employee.

You can hire a clear age and duration. Like our parents, I work in the same company and organization, from career to retirement. It is 58 or 60 years in India

Employment skills are non-technical skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to acquire employment and participate effectively in the workplace.

Frequently it is called soft skill such as communication, self management, planning, decision making, problem solving skills. Your ability to demonstrate these skills is highly appreciated by employers and industry, so it is an important requirement when looking for work.

Employment skills can also help you improve your work scores by combining language, literacy, and computing abilities, as well as technology or discipline-specific skills. Therefore, it is important to keep developing your skills through your career.

If we see companies and organizations of a new era. They are constantly looking for new places to increase productivity. More technical talent ... Many of these companies have abolished old customs / processes and methods

We are seeing many layoffs at these companies ... but on the other. These organizations are studying new skills, new methods, and new practical / process requirements.

The company wants to expand its footprint into several areas. Manufacturing, energy and utilities, IT, banking and finance etc.

Japanese employment practices are traditionally based on lifelong employment. Employees usually keep in touch with the company throughout their lifetime. Therefore, there is no allowance for employment and it is guaranteed that the status is legal retirement age, usually 55 to 60 years old. Such regular employees usually do not have any special skills when joining the company, but they often get training internally by changing between different job types and departments. However, this tradition does not meet the needs of all employers and employees. In 2000, regular employees accounted for 74% of all employees, and the number has decreased (Source: administrative, public affairs, Postal Service, Special Survey Report on Labor Force Survey). Usually skilled workers are also necessary, and for economic reasons SMEs may not be able to fully guarantee lifetime employment.

Lifetime employment is a characteristic of Japan's labor market. In recent years, the labor market has shown a tendency to be polarized due to an increase in the number of female workers engaged in unstable forms of employment, ie temporary / part-time or contract labor (very stable employment-related employment Relationship), the intrinsic nature of the labor market as lifetime employment has not changed. Based on the view of "institutional complementarity" of capitalist varieties (Hall and Soskice 2001), lifelong employment systems have been formed and recognized by systems such as "qualification wage" and "stable in-house career model" .
