In 2023, the number of non-regular workers in social insurance and social welfare in Japan stood at approximately 113.36 thousand persons. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 reveals a gradual decline in this workforce. The year-on-year variation shows a decrement, with a decrease of 0.58% from 2024 to 2025, followed by similar trends leading to a cumulative average decline rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.56% per year over this five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of demographic changes, such as Japan’s aging population, which may either exacerbate the decline if not balanced by policy interventions, or stabilize it through increased demand for welfare services and potential workforce adjustments.
