Abstract

  Japanese physicians work long hours, with an average of 63.3 hours per week. Most of them work for 32 consecutive hours when they are on call. According to the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, 82.4% of inspected hospitals violated labor-related laws such as the Labor Standard Law, from April 2009 to March 2010.<br>  Until now, despite many violations of labor-related laws in Japanese hospitals, few physicians complained to the government offices that oversee occupational standards because of their shortage of legal knowledge. Furthermore, Japanese people could buy medical services at low cost from physicians including residents, who work for a long time without proper wages.<br>  However, Japanese medical residents were determined to be workers by the Supreme Court of Japan in 2005. Proper personnel management of physicians, including medical residents, is essential.
