Outline of Final Research Achievements

We elucidated the followings by the budget demands of general account(especially Prefectural Labor Bureau) and special accounts(especially labor insurance) of MHLW. Firstly, the number of non-permanent workers engaged in free employment placement services is declining. Secondary, the wages of all non-permanent workers engaged in free employment placement services isn't low. Thirdly, non-permanent workers are'nt replaced with re-employment workers in free employment placement services. Fourthly, from 2017 F.Y. the wage of non-permanent workers is increased. Fifthly, from 2017 F.Y. the bonuses are paid to non-permanent workers too. Sixthly, It is expected that after 2018 F.Y. the wages and bonuses of non-permanent workers will be increased. Seventhly, from 2014 to 2016 F.Y. the number of re-employment workers is declining.
