There are many advantages and disadvantages to off employees job security for life. In Japan, for  
9 B) }1 R, C. m7 ~example, prospective employees know that their employers will provide them with job security for  
their entire working days and they are better able to plan for their future and family. However,  
2 u# y/ R; {. J$ J- xmany businesses are now realizing that their employees have less motivation to work and this  
leads to less profits for the company. I will describe the advantages and disadvantages of this  
system in this essay and I will show that ultimately “jobs for life” is not good for a society.  
  
Job security is very important for both the employee and the employer. For the employee, job  
security is important because she can depend on her source of income and better plan her future accordingly. For the employer, the employee represents an investment because of the number of hours of training required and the company will continue to have a return on this investment. As we all know, feeling secure about where our future income will come from is very important for our well-being—anybody who has lost a job and has had trouble finding a new one knows that this transition period can cause a lot of anxiety.  
However, job security tends to lead to decreased productivity. In general, employees who are  
certain that they can never lose their jobs tend to work less efficiently, thereby contributing to an overall reduction of productivity in the company. A common example all over the world is that of civil servants. In Thailand, for example, many government workers are so indolent that it can take days or months for something to be finished that should only take a few days. It is not uncommon to walk into a government office and see employees filing their nails, making personal calls on the telephone, taking three-hour lunches, or surfing the Internet for fun.  
  
Finally, the model of capitalism is proving to be the most efficient model that we have right now.  
This model of job security completely contradicts the foundations of capitalism. We can see in the

Some career consultants even recommend that employees find new jobs every three to five years.  
Even in countries that still offer job security for life, this model is showing signs of dying out. For

example, in Japan, once famous for its lifelong jobs, both employees and employers are starting to  
expect that these jobs will not last a lifetime. Many of my Japanese friends travel back and forth

In short, I disagree that companies should offer their employees jobs for life. We can see this  
example in some parts of the world and in other areas in the United States, but these examples are generally regarded as outmoded ways of conducting business. Finally, the models of capitalism, even though it may seem cruel, the so-called “law of the jungle,” are proving to be the most
