| Research Abstract |
This research project aimed to shed light on the nature of the reform of pay systems in Japanese enterprises from 1990's. We found out the following facts through the project. "The pay for performance system" introduced as a brand-new system in many companies in Japan since later 1990's is an akin to the existing merit system. The Japanese seniority based pay system cannot be considered as a sexist system though many scholars have believed it is a essentially sexist system.
