The forecast for subcontracted employees in Japan's air transport and postal sectors indicates a decline over the next five years. Starting from 1.21 thousand persons in 2024, the numbers are expected to decrease steadily, reaching 0.774 thousand by 2028. This downward trend reflects a significant shift in employment dynamics, with a negative compound annual growth rate over this period. The industry experienced a baseline number in 2023, which has now entered a phase of contraction.
The notable factors contributing to this trend include automation, digitalization of postal services, and potential restructuring within the air transport industry. Monitoring technological advancements and regulatory changes will be crucial as they can further influence the demand for subcontracted employees in these sectors.
