Human Development Report 2010

20th Anniversary Edition will be coming out in November this year with some changes .... "The Human Development Reports produced since 1990 by the United Nations Development Programme are widely considered the most influential of the many regular reports by multilateral institutions. Unique among UN publications for their tradition of intellectual independence – though sponsored by UNDP, they do not represent its official views or policies – the Human Development Reports are best known for their innovative and often controversial analyses of critical issues, and for the annual Human Development Index, which was created as an alternative to income-based measures of national and individual well-being." download old copies or get more recent reports: http://hdr.undp.org/en/reports/global/hdr2010/

Horiba International Conference

August 19 & 20, 2010 Fukutake Auditorium , University of Tokyo - Hongo Campus Admission is free and advance registration is not required. A Tectonic Shift? Structural developments, reform policies, and the collapse of LDP rule The seismic 2007 Upper House election , the 2009 general election ushering the DPJ ( Democratic Party of Japan ) into power, and the recent Upper House election unequivocally demonstrate the structural collapse of the dominance of the LDP ( Liberal Democratic Party ), which had ruled Japan for most of the postwar period. The aim of this gathering in Tokyo , on the eve of the first anniversary of the DPJ's landmark victory, and on the heels of its first electoral rout, is to examine in detail the two developments the participants think caused a tectonic shift in Japanese politics, forever destroying the old LDP regime: political adaptation to the new electoral system, and the policy responses to recurring downturns of the economy, characte

Groundbreaking case this past week on Trainees rights in Japan

Chinese trainee died of 'karoshi' THE ASAHI SHIMBUN 2010/07/05 In a landmark decision involving foreign vocational trainees, the Labor Standards Inspection Office in Kajima, Ibaraki Prefecture, has recognized the June 2008 death of a Chinese man working at a metal processing company as a case of karoshi, or death from overwork. The labor inspection office sent papers to prosecutors on Friday accusing the company and its 66-year-old operator of violating the Labor Standards Law by imposing excessively long work hours and failing to pay overtime. According to the office, Jiang Xiaodong, 31, died of acute heart failure while asleep in June 2008, three years after coming to Japan as a trainee. In the three months prior to his death, Jiang worked between 93 to 109 hours in overtime each month, the office said. The office also found that two other Chinese vocational trainees at the company had been forced to work long overtime hours, and that the trainees were paid only
