| Summary | This survey was conducted in order to grasp and provide statistical data on the current state of, attitudes to, and future intentions for corporate welfare plans among companies. The survey focuses on three dimensions:(1) livelihood guarantee during employment (centering on group term insurance against on-duty and off-duty accidents), (2) asset formation support (centering on employee's savings schemes), and (3) livelihood guarantee after retirement (centering on corporate pension plans). For livelihood security, we also investigated how funds are reserved. Surveys of Employees Benefit Plans have been carried out every three years since 1980, meaning that this one represents the sixth. |
