Résumé (anglais)

Modern workers’ compensation, EII was introduced by historically addressing constraints caused by common law based on tort system. While workers became more secured from uncertain compensation from work injury and disease, employers also felt EII more efficient than common law approach in the perspective of exemption from liability, business operation stability, less litigation cost, etc. As EII was introduced in each country, the scheme has been developed in various ways reflecting the countries’ own historical, cultural contexts.
