Statistics fraud issue Advising the manager in charge and strict caution disposal Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare August 9, 19:51
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has advised and cautioned about the director in charge and the former policy supervisor who had not intentionally reported in the general inspection of the government while recognizing the fraud in the “Statistical Survey on Wage Structure” among a series of statistical fraud issues. We decided to dispose of.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's “Basic Survey on Wage Structure”, which examines the actual situation of workers' wages by employment type and job type, has been carried out by mail for many years, contrary to the rule of visiting offices. It has been found that the general manager in charge of the government's investigation that received fraud in the investigation of the survey did not deliberately report fraud.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare announced that the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare had confirmed the facts and warned the head of the Wages and Welfare Statistics Office in charge of statistics.
In addition to the five staff members who served as the head of the department in charge after 2008, when fraud was confirmed, we also gave strict caution to the seven former staff members who had already retired. I told you.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare says, “I am very sorry to lose public confidence in the statistics. I want to make the statistics reliable through the reforms I am currently promoting.”
