Language Insights

  • Shunto (Spring Offensive) is a uniquely Japanese labor practice where unions across industries negotiate wages simultaneously in the spring.
  • Mangaku Kaito (Full Response) is a key term in news, indicating that the employer accepted 100% of the union's requested wage or bonus increase.
  • Real wages (Jisshitsu Chingin) are crucial in current Japanese economic news as they determine if people can actually afford more after accounting for inflation.
