The workers' accident compensation insurance system is also involved in social welfare projects for workers, such as promoting recovery of injured or sick workers to take full role in society. This is paired with unemployment insurance ( ???? , koy? Hoken ) and is called collectively as labor insurance ( ???? , r? d? hoken ) . Workers' Compensation Insurance Insurance is managed by the Office of Labor Standards.
