Abstract
-
This study was born from the author's theoretical interest in establishing a concept of "workers' welfare" that can be applied beyond the boundaries of countries and time and the practical need for giving an answer to the Tokyo Governor's inquiry about what workers' welfare administration is and how it ought to be. The study is composed of three parts: (1) The analysis of ten concepts of "workers' welfare" which exist all over the world today, and the induction of a general model of the concept from them. (2) The measurement of what extent workers' welfare, which the general model defines, has been realized, or what kinds of needs workers have, in contemporary Japan. (3) The review of programs and services of the present Japanese labor administration (including the workers' welfare administration), and the presentation of what the workers' welfare administration, which satisfies the general model definition and the workers' needs, is and what its territory and content are, in the form of a proposal to Tokyo Metropolitan Government. In order to extract the "problems and difficulties" which workers have, 500 interviewers sampled 500 interviewees with whom they already had rapport (sampling through interviewees) and to whom they talked freely on their own without using any questionnaires or uniform interview guides (unconstructed interviews).
