Precarious employment

One woman who is 31 years old is a enrolling staff in the corporation which sends workers. Her works are different every day like saleswoman or worker in the factory. She is often canceled her work suddenly by the reason why corporation has no work to introduce her. Her salary per month is about a hundred thousand yen. She became adult in the middle of 1990's. First she was a regular staff. Next she entered other company as a contracting staff. But she was dismissed suddenly after three months passed. From two years ago, she has worked as irregular staff in the factory. She hasn't become a regular staff at all after she resignd first job, though she worked over 15 jobs.

Many big corporations tend to employ many students now. On the other hand, the number of regular staff decreases and irregular staff increases. This is because former prime minister Koizumi promoted deregulation. Many corporations decrease regular staff and increase irregular staff like part-timer or enrolling staff whose salary is very low. Syuichiro Sekine, the leader of labor union says "Many young people work as a irregulation staff or enrolling staff because it is very difficult to become regular staff. Precarious employment is expanded more and more." Prime minister Abe makes the policy to help young people. On the other hand, the Federation of Economic Organization insists on promotiong precarious employment. (Asahi 2007/7/18)
