The son realized they are actually poor because they rely on servants and possessions, while the farmer's family is rich in what really matters - each other.

The Japanese economy experienced unprecedented growth after World War II but then faltered with the bursting of its bubble economy in the 1990s, entering a lost decade. While some gains followed, the 2008 global crisis caused Japan to plunge into recession again. Recent signs in late 2009 pointed to recovery in 2010. Japan currently has the 3rd largest GDP globally at $4.34 trillion dominated by services. It also has a highly skilled population and strong investment in research and development, though it faces challenges from North Korea, its national debt, an aging population, and lack of natural resources.
1) Japan experienced rapid economic growth following World War 2, described as an economic "miracle".
2) The economy slowed in the 1990s, entering a period known as the "Lost Decade" with declining stock and land prices causing financial crisis.
3) Recent economic growth has been slow with setbacks from the 2011 tsunami and earthquake, though reconstruction efforts provide some boost to demand.

Work local, trade global!
Japan has traditionally exported manufactured goods to wealthy Western markets but is now shifting focus to emerging economies. As domestic and Western markets stagnate, Japanese companies are tailoring products for middle-income consumers in countries like Brazil, India, and China. Firms are designing appliances suited to local needs and tastes, such as fridges with large bottle compartments in Indonesia and quiet, energy-efficient air conditioners in India. Automakers like Toyota and Nissan are also producing affordable, locally-produced vehicles. However, Japanese firms face challenges in managing a more global workforce and adapting their rigid, consensus-driven corporate culture.

This post-war economic miracle made Japan a major global economy, though it has since faced challenges like slowing population growth and public debt.

The Rules Do Apply: Navigating HR ComplianceAggregage
https://www.humanresourcestoday.com/frs/26903483/the-rules-do-apply--navigating-hr-compliance
HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
This is a particular pain point for small HR departments, or HR departments of 1, that lack compliance teams and in-house labor attorneys. So, what do you do?
The goal of this webinar is to make you smarter in knowing what you should be focused on and the questions you should be asking. It will also provide you with resources for making compliance more manageable.
Objectives:
• Understand the regulatory landscape, including labor laws at the local, state, and federal levels
• Best practices for developing, implementing, and maintaining effective compliance programs
• Resources and strategies for staying informed about changes to labor laws, regulations, and compliance requirements
