In 2023, the number of non-full-time employees in certified social insurance and labor consultants' offices in Japan stood at 3.64 thousand persons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady increase from 3.69 thousand to 3.9 thousand persons. This represents an average annual growth rate of approximately 1.39% over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

An increasing need for non-full-time roles due to legislative changes or economic shifts that require specialist HR guidance on a contractual basis.
Potential automation and digital transformation in labor consultancy, impacting employment dynamics in the sector.
Demographic changes in Japan leading to a higher demand for flexible work arrangements, boosting non-full-time employment figures.
