Isi artikel

This essay seeks to compare and contrast atypical employment in Japan, the United States and countries in Europe; it does not intend to be an examination of a specific country or specific form of employment. The structure of the labor market and the broader environment determine how typical / atypical employment is conceptualized, and therefore its definition can differ depending on the country, region and approach of the person who is defining it. For the purpose of international comparisons, however, it is not necessary to be overly preoccupied with the definition of “atypical employment” at the onset. Given that “atypical employment” is conceptualized differently in different countries and regions, it is perhaps more productive to approach the question from a reasonably broad angle. The primary subject of this essay therefore is employment forms that are “atypical” (or “non-regular”) in relation to what is generally considered “typical” (or “regular”). Typical (or regular) employment is generally defined as “full -time employment in which the contract term is not limited,” and forms of employment not meeting this criterion are considered part of atypical or non - regular employment.
