This paper studies the legal benefits system for retirement risk in Japan, while looking at its historical developments. It clarifies the following points. First, responding to the uniqueness of the concept of “unemployment” as a covered event has always been the task to cope with. In the debate over the legislation of the unemployment insurance system before the Second World War, the difficulty in recognizing unemployment and the likelihood of abusive claims of benefits were already pointed out. These problems have not yet been solved. Secondly, the legal benefits system for retirement risk has been associated with the employment system in Japan. The Employment Insurance Act, since its enactment, has provided the foundation for continuous employment, in tandem with the imposition of restrictions on dismissal. On the other hand, this system has sometimes served in mitigating the workers’ resistance to retirement through the payment of unemployment benefits, and in this respect, it has played a role in ensuring the “flexibility” of the employment system to a certain extent.
