Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is quite difficult to describe and evaluate a vocational capability. A clear and evident measurement of a vocational capability would be substantially impossible, but such capabilities could be described in much plainer manners. For example, vocational education and training, rating in labor market, amount of remuneration and its calculation, and status or qualifications of the worker should be proxy indicators of vocational capabilities. it is very interesting that one can observe some difference in capabilities among workers on equal footing in such proxy indicators, and that all concerned parties would recognize the difference. In such situation it is neither by a single objective manner, nor by disorganized subjective standards, but by an intersubjective standard of evaluation that a difference in capability could be recognized, and a shopfloor could be work on such intersubjective standard. We overview this "intersubjective structure of vocational capabilities".
