The Reproductive Bargain reveals the institutional sources of labor insecurities behind Japan’s postwar employment system. This economic juggernaut’s decline cannot be understood without reference to the reproductive bargain. The historical terms of the reproductive bargain rests on the establishment of company citizenship in support of a standard employment relationship, privileging the male breadwinner in calculations for benefits in exchange for the salarymen working long hours in relatively secure jobs at the enterprise and relying on women’s unpaid reproductive labor in the family and increasingly on women’s waged work in nonstandard jobs. Such institutionalized relationships, formerly the engines of growth and stability, drag economic expansion and employment security. Gendering institutional analysis is a key to deciphering the enigma of Japanese capitalism.

Recalls (also known as ‘temporary layoffs’) are used as employment strategy in the German labor market for handling fluctuations in the need of labor. Susanne Edler presents research that reveals that employment relations after recalls are less protected by labor market regulations and more exposed to the competitive market processes than continuously employed workers that grant wage premiums (rents) due to their higher shielding from the competitive labor market. However, compared to other discontinuous employment relations temporary layoffs can be the better alternative since employers as well as employees make use of their transaction-specific investments in human capital and thereby generate ‘composite rents.’ Contents • Recall-Employment as Form of Flexible Employment • Closure Mechanisms – Explanations of Labor Market Inequality • Employment Patterns of Recalled Workers • Earnings Differences • Differences in Supervisors’ and Coworkers’ Support Target Groups • Lecturers and students in sociology, economic and political science • Practitioners in economics and political consulting The Author Susanne Edler is a postdoc student in the ERC-funded project – "The Resurgence in Wage Inequality and Technological Change: A New Approach" – at the University of Haifa. Her research interest is the role of employment strategies and technological change as well as occupational barriers in generating wage inequalities.
