Heizo Takenaka urges review of regular employee privileges in Japan

Original: 竹中 平蔵

Japanese economist Heizo Takenaka is drawing attention for arguing that Japan should reconsider the special privileges attached to regular full-time employment, such as stronger job protection and benefits compared with non-regular workers. Writing on the Agora opinion platform, a supporter of his view acknowledges the argument invites backlash but defends reexamining the so-called regular employee privilege as necessary labor market reform.

Why now: Debate over Japan's dual labor market and inequality between regular and non-regular workers remains a contentious, recurring political topic.
