• The Netherlands had a miraculous recovery from a severe unemployment crisis in the early 1980s. Before then, the 'Dutch disease' had been a term used by economists as a synonym for poor economic policy; but as the Netherlands moved to record job growth in the 1990s that term was replaced by an altogether more positive one: the 'Dutch miracle.' Dutch policies for employment growth, welfare reform and corporatism were nicknamed the 'Polder Model.' The model consisted of a total package of policies, including wage restraints and austerity budgets from the early 1980s and the reform of the social security system and employment policy in the 1990s. This article discusses the Dutch model of work-sharing, which was introduced in 1993 through a tripartite consensus of government, trades unions and employers' organizations. Earlier work-sharing policies had featured reduction of working hours (from 40 to 38 hours per week in 1982 and then from 38 to 36 hours in 1993), or early retirement (1982), but this paper focuses specifically on the 'equal-treatment of working hours' policy introduced in 1993. I explore Dutch-style work-sharing as a new type of working/employment system for the 21st century that has great potential-to meet the demands of the women's liberation movement for women to be given the chance for self-realization and achievement, while also rehabilitating the family from the damage inflicted on that institution in the 20th century. At the same time the Dutch system is especially applicable to a society with an aging population and a low birth-rate. Accordingly I also discuss the possibility of its introduction in Japan.
