The most severe overproduction crisis in Japan hit the economy during 1974 and 1975 and was accompanied by sudden price increases caused by the “oil shock” of autumn 1973. Technically such a phenomenon is known as a “structural depression.” As a result of this economic crisis, a “rationalization” policy, also called an “adjustment of employment” policy, was adopted in almost all sectors of industry. Irrespective of the name, this was nothing more than the retrenchment of large numbers of employees. It included a significant reduction of new recruitments, temporary layoffs, voluntary retirement, reduction of overtime work, the retrenchment of seasonal and part-time workers, and the cutting down of large numbers of day laborers. Industries also took various measures to reduce investment in production plants and machinery and to economize by amalgamating or dissociating affiliated companies
