Abstract

<p>The purpose of this study was to clarify regional differences in the characteristics of business cooperatives for the creation of specific regions. In the town of Nanbu, Aomori prefecture, and the village of Higashinaruse, Akita prefecture, it was difficult for businesses within the region alone to establish an operational system or create a website in compliance with the Worker Dispatching Law. Therefore, business cooperatives were established in both areas with the help of outside actors. In addition, the recruitment of multi-workers is conducted through an Internet job service in Nanbu and through a local employment agency in Higashinaruse. As a result, multi-workers in Nanbu are mainly prospective new farmers from outside the region, while those in Higashinaruse are mainly residents of the region. Because of these differences in the attributes of multi-workers, Nanbu provides more educational opportunities in agricultural skill to multi-workers, while Higashinaruse provides more benefits to them. Thus, the cooperatives function as a learning system for new farmers in Nanbu, while Higashinaruse provides stable employment for residents in the area.</p>
