Abstract

Companies are increasingly relying on non-regular employees in their operations, and as the above blog entry outlines, are even assigning some of them leadership roles. Thus, when discussing non-regular work it is necessary to take a closer look at the actual work situation of non-regular employees. With non-regular employment becoming a long-term situation for many employees, it is also important to ask whether it can still become a starting point for building a career. This chapter takes up these two issues and then goes on to discuss the situation of Japan’s growing non-regular workforce within overall changes in labor markets in Japan and other countries.
