The projected number of non-regular workers in Japan's railway transport sector showcases a modest downward trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, this group stood at approximately 1.34 thousand persons. The forecasted figures suggest a decline from 1.3 thousand in 2024 to 1.2 thousand by 2028, reflecting an average annual decrease of around 1.98% over the five-year period.

Key future trend considerations include:

Potential impacts of technological advancements like automation on non-regular employment.
Shifts in labor policies that could influence employment types and workforce structure.
Overall demand for non-regular labor in response to evolving consumer and operational needs in railway transport.
