    Obviously Japan has got their employment rights policies more correct than the US but there are some trade-offs to having policies like this. The main one would be that employers are less likely to “give a chance” to a candidate who has limited experience entering an industry if it is difficult to fire them when if it doesn’t work out.

    Economists have pointed to this being a factor in high youth unemployment rates in countries like France and Spain.
