Research Abstract

This Research tried to describe the future scheme of Workers' Compensation Insurance which might adapt to the new questions such as diseases or death resulted from overwork or stress. In particular, this research focused on the possible integration of prevention, compensation and social-professional re-adaptation of victims. Comparative legal studies, especially studies on French and Swedish Workers' Compensation, Insurance schemes have been done. Research work has been composed of collecting articles, books and reports on French and Swedish laws as well as Japanese law, and of analyzing them. One of our research group member went to Sweden to interview and collect documents because of difficulties to get informations on Swedish law.
French law gives more priority to compensation of victims than social-professional re-adaptation, however French "les Caisses regionales" play important role about prevention by way of subsidies as well as an extra insurance premium. In Sweden, health services (including rehabilitation) financed by tax cover not only injuries and diseases in private life, but also industrial injuries and occupational diseases. Workers' Compensation Insurance scheme provides essentially cash benefits, it has few concerns about prevention. This comparative studies allow to clarify characteristics of Japanese Workers' Compensation Insurance Scheme and to have several inspirations on future plan of integrated Workers' Compensation Insurance Scheme.
