[SSJ: 10579] Series of articles on young foreign graduate employment in Japan

From: Harald Conrad <h.conrad@sheffield.ac.uk>

Dear Colleagues,



Please allow me to point you to a new, three-part series of articles in Japanese about young foreign graduate employment in Japanese companies, which I have just published together with Professors Kenta Koyama (Tokyo Keizai University) and Hendrik Meyer-Ohle (National University of Singapore).



Based on our recent research, these articles are primarily aimed at Japanese HR managers and offer concrete advise how Japanese companies might be able to improve the working conditions of young foreign graduates. While other observers have argued that such improvements require fundamental changes to Japanese employment practices, we argue that incremental changes are more realistic and achievable.
