Market Description
Temporary staffing was illegal in Japan until the 1990s, but the market has grown substantially since that time to become the second-largest staffing market in the world. The concept of a ‘job for life’, which traditionally characterized the Japanese workplace, is no more as contingent forms of working have grown. However, many people in Japan are uncomfortable with this growth of ‘non-regular’ employment. Temporary staffing in Japan is translated as ‘dispatching’. A number of the world’s largest international staffing firms are headquartered there. However, the market is highly fragmented.
