TOKYO -- Job mobility in Japan is less than half that of other developed countries, threatening growth in productivity and wages, a new government white paper shows.
The ratio of the newly unemployed or reemployed to the working-age population averaged 0.7% for 2001 to 2019, according to the latest White Paper on the Labor Economy, released Tuesday. The average came to 1.5% for all members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
