Abstract	"A system that aims to secure and guarantee 'employment' with a focus on internal labor markets of a certain size has led to Japanese-style employment practices and legal principles. Accordingly, although the system does not necessarily guarantee that a worker will be able to continue to be employed in the same occupation or job, it aims for career development within the same organization, that is to say, within a single internal labor market. If the organization is maintained and develops constantly, career formation and development will also progress smoothly. Thus, the legal measures that have been devised in Japan have been exclusively aimed towards securing and guaranteeing employment. However, if dramatic changes occur in the employment environment, career development in the same occupation or job, or within the same organization becomes difficult. People are shaken by instability. Young people worry about what sort of working life they should lead, while middle-aged and older people suffer distress as a result of the cessation of the career that they have spent a great deal of time and effort developing. Even in the case that the country is moving away from the traditional principle of versatility in internal Labor markets and undergoing a transition to an employment system reliant on fluid external labor markets, if both career development directly linked to an occupation or job and career development directly linked to a specific type of employment become difficult, what sort of working life should people lead? What should people do in order to ensure that their career formation and development are guaranteed even if they undergo several changes of job? There will be a growing need to use not only employment practices, but also legal means to ensure the dynamic potential for career development that transcends Jobs, occupations and specific types of employment. This is because, if no measure is provided, there will be increased anxiety and frustration among people for whom skill formation and career development is not progressing smoothly, leading to social instability and a fall in the efficiency of an economy that has failed to utilize human resources. The concept of 'the right to a career,' which was introduced in provisions that had their origins in Japan's Employment Countermeasures Act and Human Resources Development Promotion Act, is one of the proposals for fundamental concepts that seek to respond to this issue. The author will discuss this concept in this paper." Forschungsmethode: deskriptive Studie. (author's abstract, IAB-Doku).
