This is the neighboring country, Japan. Here, it is 30 minutes from Tokyo to Kawaguchi City. There are quite a few historic factories in this representative casting industrial complex, with production history dating back to the Edo period. Most of the businesses here are small enterprises with fewer than four employees. Just by looking, the working conditions don’t seem very good. Many places do not have labor unions. Instead, in Kawaguchi City, there is a facility called the Workers' Welfare Service Center. So, what kind of work is done here? It seems we need to fill out an application first. I wonder what Mr. Ichi has come here for. 

Oh, Mr. Ichi has come for a meal. The work done here can be broadly categorized into three areas: livelihood support services, insurance support, and retirement allowance deduction services. Currently, there are 350 centers across Japan with 1.47 million members. Among them, 350,000 workers are members. Regardless of the size of the company, they pay a monthly fee of 700 yen.

The same services are provided. Since the establishment of the 19 Business Center, we have been participating as a member. It was great to receive help with the large retirement funds, which can be a significant burden for small companies. Additionally, for companies aiming to standardize their processes, it was necessary to have a robust welfare system to attract capable employees. The satisfaction derived from welfare services increases labor productivity, and the company has been able to utilize its resources without the burden of retirement payouts. 

Retirement funds are collected by the company on a monthly basis for each worker, and this money covers 70% of the retirement fund. Mr. Ichiro's family went out. They are on their way home, using dining vouchers purchased from the center. In Japan, which is centered around corporate welfare, worker welfare service centers are like this.

기업 규모 간의 복지 격차를 줄여주는 복지의 최전선이 되어주고 있습니다. 여기는 다시 세계가 주목하는 복지 왕국, 스웨덴입니다. 튼튼한 복지는 안정을 가져오고, 안정된 복지는 생산성을 증가시키는 선순환의 구조를 만든다는 것을 진한 역사를 통해 보여주는 곳입니다. 

혹시 스웨덴도 한때는 대기업 중심의 노동복지 정책으로 노동자 간 양극화가 극심한 시절이 있었다는 것을 아시는지요? 스웨덴은 1910년부터 1950년까지 비정상적인 경제 성장을 했습니다. 볼보 자동차 같은 덕분에 대기업 노동자들의 임금도 상승했습니다. 부자 노동자, 가난한 노동자라는 말이 나올 지경이었습니다. 노동관계는 급기야 노노 갈등으로 발전했고, 이 문제를 없애지 않고서는 사회 갈등을 해결할 수 없을 정도였습니다.

Kallar det solidarisk läge, polisen. Jag ska förklara lika mycket för stora som för SM. Betyder det att de SM-fet eller de fet som inte klarar att betala lärarna? Det SLS ju ut, om man istället allierar sig med dem som det har varit i de senaste orden. Så man gradvis utsluter ett fet fsv inner D. Och kan ju de som blir arbetsförmedlingen.

임제는 노사가 단체 협약으로 정한 수준의 급여를 지불할 수 없는 기업은 폐업할 수밖에 없게 했습니다. 대신 국가는 일자리를 잃은 노동자들의 취업과 직업 훈련을 지원하는 적극적인 노동시장 정책을 펼쳤습니다. 공공직업 안에서는 그런 도움이 필요한 사람들이 찾아오는 곳입니다.

Ja, för att jag hade slutat ett jobb som ekonomassistent med det här företaget. Faktum är att jag har arbetat och samtidigt studerat en H12-kurs. Nej, det har en kurs som tillhör arbetsförmedlingen, det med arbetsförmedlingen och skolan som hittar folk. Universitetet kontaktar folk så att man kan träna från svenska, arabiska och svenska. Det är aktiviteter eller ungdomsgaranti, och då har man ju aktivitetsstöd när man varit med i ett tag. Man har varit, vad heter det, arbetsförmed

I believe it is the 15th or something, and then you continue with it, but you don't go into another one. For example, the activities of the industrial guidance office are supervised by the labor office. The labor office is one of the largest government agencies in Sweden and receives a lot of funding. It is up to each individual if they want to come here, and we also want to attract them. Germany is also a country that spends a lot of budget on active labor market policies, just like Sweden. The labor employment office is responsible for that. There are also employment support centers available. However, many students who still look young can be seen. These are trainees in Germany's unique vocational education system. There are various career guides and brochures available for students. If you see, this is simply an information folder. Here you can see information, a table of contents, what interests people about it, and then it will explain how people work in the different professions. Here you can see in a table which products are handled by which professions, and then they can see right away that in this profession, I cannot...

Arbeiten, weil ich da auf meine Allergie ansprechen kann. Das ist kein guter Start in einen Beruf, wenn man in einem Beruf anfängt, den man aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht auf Dauer ausüben kann. Ich möchte einen Ausgleich zwischen Ausbildung und Ausbildungsbetrieb oder Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitgeber schaffen. Wir wollen, dass die Menschen die richtige Entscheidung treffen. Auf der einen Seite eine Entscheidung, die sie nicht bereuen, und auf der anderen Seite, dass die Wirtschaft mit den Arbeitskräften bedient wird, die sie benötigt, um sich weiter gut entwickeln zu können. Der Ausgleich dazwischen ist unser wichtiges Ziel. 

Aktive Arbeitsmarktpolitik soll auch dazu beitragen, dass Arbeitslosigkeit zur Chance wird. Die Ausgaben dafür könnten sich auch in Südkorea ändern. Öffne das Fenster dieser Welt, lass den tanzenden Wind einmal wieder spüren. Auf dem leichten Grasboden bin ich. 

Das ist sozusagen die wichtigste Quelle von Wohlstand, und ein sicherer Arbeitsplatz ist das zentrale Anliegen für den Einzelnen. Es ist genau umgekehrt, der Abbau, würde ich sagen, der sozialen Rechte und des sozialen Wohlstands ist mitverantwortlich für die Krise. Wir müssen eine Wirtschaftsordnung finden, die uns aus der Krise herausbringt, und zwar nicht nur Deutschland allein, sondern Europa.

Durchaus auch auf globaler Ebene kann ich glauben, dass es nur ein Ziel geben kann, das mehr Wohlstand für die Menschen bringt. Dort gab es keine armen Menschen, die arbeiten mussten. Es gab auch keine Menschen, die Entlassungen und Arbeitslosigkeit als gegeben hinnehmen. Jeder hatte die Möglichkeit, zu arbeiten, Steuern zu zahlen, und mit diesem Geld wurden verschiedene Sozialleistungen geschaffen, die das Leben sichern und die Menschen wieder in Arbeit bringen. Arbeit ist Wohlfahrt, und Wohlfahrt ist...
