Japan Federation of Employers' Associations - Nihon Keieisha Dantairenmei

Japanese: 日本経営者団体連盟 - にほんけいえいしゃだんたいれんめい

Founded in 1948, Nikkeiren is a national organization of business leaders dealing with labor issues. Its abbreviation is Nikkeiren. It was one of the four business organizations along with the Japan Business Federation (Keidanren), the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Nissho), and the Japan Association of Corporate Executives. It is a federation of regional and industry-specific organizations. Its predecessor was the Japan Federation of Employers' Associations, which was formed in 1947 with the Kanto Employers' Association, which was founded in 1946, at its core. While Keidanren was in charge of the economy in general, Nikkeiren was mainly involved in information gathering and public relations activities centered on labor issues, with the aim of maintaining cooperation among business leaders regarding labor measures. For this reason, Nikkeiren announced guidelines for wage increases once a year before the spring wage increase struggle, and in the 1970s it advocated the "productivity standard principle," which stated that wage increases should be limited to the increase rate of productivity (national average, industry average, or the company's own projected productivity). In May 2002, it merged with Keidanren to become the Japan Business Federation.

Japanese:

1948年に設立された労働問題を取り扱う全国的な経営者の団体。略称は日経連。経済団体連合会（経団連），日本商工会議所（日商），経済同友会とともに財界四団体の一つだった。地方別，業種別団体の連合体。前身は，1946年設立の関東経営者協会を中心として翌 1947年に結成された経営者団体連合会。経団連が経済一般を担当するのに対し，日経連は主として労働問題を中心とする情報収集，広報活動を行ない，労働対策についての経営者間の連係を保つことを目的としていた。そのため日経連は毎年 1回春季賃金引き上げ闘争の前に賃金引き上げのガイドラインを発表し，1970年代にはそのなかで「生産性基準原理」を唱え，賃金上昇率を生産性（全国平均，業種平均あるいは自社の予想生産性）上昇率以内に抑えるべきだとした。2002年5月に経団連と統合して日本経済団体連合会となった。
