Hitachi has decided to shift to "job-type employment" that pays wages for work for all employees. It has been pointed out for some time that the so-called Japanese-style employment of hiring new graduates all at once, seniority-based, and lifetime employment will come to an end, and several large companies have already announced their job-oriented shift. The full-scale introduction of Hitachi, a leading Japanese company, will have a significant impact, and it is likely that more companies will take advantage of this to promote a job-based shift. [Understanding the graph] Freelancers and office workers, the reality of work styles that change with Corona I think many people have heard that there are two types of employment systems: job-type and membership-type. However, this representation is not strictly correct. Employment in other countries is generally based on the job type in Japan, where wages are paid for work, and as far as I know, Japan is the only country that fully adopts membership type employment. There is only one. Rather, membership-type employment was previously called Japanese-style employment because the concept of membership-type employment does not exist overseas in the first place, and employment in Japan is unique. When a specialist in the employment system explained job-type and membership-type jobs, this division spread all at once. When I explain that only Japan is special, some people react excessively, saying, "It's not enough to just imitate other countries." If we use the term “membership type,” we can give the impression that it is one of the various forms of employment (in other words, Japan is not the only one special), so it is convenient for the media. It seems to have spread. However, Japanese-style employment (that is, membership employment) is still a special form, and it cannot be said to be a permanent system. It is inevitable that Japanese employment will shift to the same job type as overseas, and it would be more natural to interpret that the timing has finally arrived.
