An Emerging Non-Regular Labour Force in Japan

More about the book

The book explores the rising trend of temporary labor in Japan, focusing on dispatched workers, known as haken. These workers are employed by agencies but operate under client firms, reflecting a shift in the labor market due to deregulation policies. Their increasing presence highlights significant social issues, particularly the growing economic disparities in Japanese society. The discussion delves into the implications of this employment model and its impact on public discourse regarding inequality.
