Labor market in Japan is the job market with people trying to find work, or employers trying to find people to work. The main players in this market are the employers and employees. Employers need workers to make their businesses run and employees need jobs to support themselves and their families. In Japan, the government helps regulate the labor market by setting laws that decide what employers and employees can do. For example, the government sets laws on minimum wages and working hours, so that all employers follow the same rules and all employees get treated fairly.
