"This paper sets out to identify and study ways in which labor policies respond to violations of labor and employment laws. Firstly, the term “violations of labor and employment laws” will be defined, in terms of labor policies, as referring to acts that violate certain prohibitive or instructive norms when these have been imposed on employers and others by law. Next, types of labor policy response to violations of labor and employment laws will be identified from the viewpoint of measures for implementing labor law. Thirdly, the current situation of labor and employment law violations seen as particularly problematic in Japan today will be introduced, along with the action taken to address them. And finally, future issues and perspectives for study will be indicated, with focus on the aspect of proactively preventing violations of the law, in connection with the future directions to be taken for policy response against violations."
