Forecast: Non-Regular Workers in Welfare Services for the Aged and Care Services in Japan

In 2023, the number of non-regular workers in welfare services for the aged and care services in Japan was reported at 42.77 thousand persons. The forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a consistent decline, with figures decreasing from 41.29 thousand in 2024 to 35.75 thousand in 2028. This represents an average annual decrease of approximately 3.6% over the five-year period.

Overall, the sector demonstrates a declining trend possibly influenced by demographic shifts and policy changes. Future trends to watch include potential technological innovations in care services, shifts in immigration policies affecting workforce supply, and government initiatives to improve regular work conditions, which could influence non-regular employment levels.
