In Japan, the forecast for non full-time employees in welfare services for the aged and care services indicates a steady growth from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 1.21 million persons in 2024, the number is projected to increase to 1.30 million by 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year growth averaging around 1.8% annually. Comparing this with 2023, where the actual data stood at 1.198 million, showcases a positive trend indicating a robust demand for part-time employment in this sector.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of Japan's aging population on increasing demand for caretakers.
Potential government policy changes influencing labor dynamics and employment conditions in the care sector.
The role of technology in supplementing care services, potentially affecting employment numbers.
