EDITORIAL / Business, labor groups should cooperate for economic recovery
Keywords:
Tags: Japan,
This Yomiuri discusses the approach of the labor unions Rengo and the business organization Keidanren to the efforts to revive Japan's economy under prime minister Abe. Abe has encouraged Japanese companies to increase wages so that consumption spending can be supported. One measure proposed by the Abe administration is to reduce taxes for companies which increase wages. The government is also taking action so that the temp workers -the one third of the labor force working under temporary contracts at lower wages- can be converted to regular full time status with higher salaries.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
