Governing Insecurity in Japan - The Domestic Discourse and Policy Response

In Anbetracht der demographischen Alterung der Erwerbsbevölkerung wird die Beschaftigung mit den Kompetenzen alterer Arbeitnehmer immer wichtiger. In Zeiten des immerwahrenden wirtschaftlichen Wandels sind insbesondere fachlich unabhangige bzw. arbeitsübergreifende Kompetenzen für Wissenschaft und Unternehmen bedeutungsvoll. Genau an dieser Stelle setzt Melanie Jana-Tröller mit ihrer qualitativen Studie an. Sie macht die arbeitsübergreifenden Kompetenzen alterer Arbeitnehmer in ihren unterschiedlichen Facetten sichtbar und untersucht sie sowohl auf ihre Entwicklung als auch ihr betriebliches Potenzial hin.
