A new act for supporting job seekers(kyushokusha-sienho) was legislated in Japan recently. It is aiming at supporting persons who are under unemployment and at the same time taking vocational training trying to get a new job. Global economic crisis enlarged the size of unemployment and this should be considered in a different way because of its structural features. In Japan, there had been a few temporary measures to cope with mass unemployment, which included giving money for persons under the vocational training. The Act was legislated with the continuous needs for supporting persons under the unemployment afterwards. Basically the Act holds two aspects in the point of view of what it aims. Does the Act pursue employment stability or income security? This is closely connected with another question of priority, that is getting a new job through training or securing minimal income with the condition of participating in training. In Japan, thee answer is more or less close to the former. Also it takes different characters at the same time. First, it can be thought as an extension of employment insurance. Second it also is another way of public assistance. This a little ambiguous complex makes financial systems of the Act very difficult, mainly who will be in charge of the business, finances of employment insurance or general account of the state. There actually has been a huge gap between employment insurance and public assistance until now. Act for supporting job seekers helps persons who are not under coverage of employment insurance, but still have the will of training for getting a new job, trying to escape the stigma of public assistance. It gives a certain amount of money in cash to the persons who are participating in a vocational training sincerely. It has some positive effects, helping persons to get a new jobs, avoiding the traps of welfare - moral hazard. But still has many problems as well, above all things the difficulties in the relations with other systems of social security. Now we are under similar situation of mass unemployment, and experiences in Japan can be one model of law system for these problems, certainly is suggesting an inspiration for our systems.
