What was the impact of income tax adjustments (50-55% in 2009 to 57% in 2013) on employees in Japan?
Japan's labor market has historically been characterized by wage stickiness, where wages do not adjust quickly downward even in the face of economic downturns. This phenomenon is partly due to cultural factors, employment practices that respect job security for senior citizens and their employment, and labor laws that emphasize job security and seniority over flexibility in wage adjustments. Thus, low-skilled employees who also had stagnant or slightly rigid wages were usually let go, increasing unemployment for part-time jobs or younger generations.
