Project Description

Data was extracted from the PDF-format “List of Cases of Labor-Related Law Violations” published monthly by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and stored in a database broken down by prefecture, year/month of publication, and law violated. Users can see the number of companies for a given region (e.g. Osaka), year/month (e.g. Heisei 29, March), or law (e.g. Industrial Safety and Health Act, Labor Standards Act) in a chart, or view the list of company names.

Because the data is raw and should not become something people can safely attack people over from behind a screen, the contrast is deliberately pushed to the edge of legibility, making it almost unreadable under normal conditions.
