2012年，日本修改了《劳动合同法》（LCA），以改善定期工人的就业条件。不幸的是，修订后的法律仍然存在一个问题，即拒绝续签就业合同。本文认为，该法的修改未能反映其最初的动机，因为其预期与实际效果之间存在差距。我们采用多代理系统，其中代理自主地作为雇主和雇员行事。我们模拟的修正案的效果与多智能体系统，该系统由Q学习的公司代理和工人代理。我们的实验表明，由于LCA是提前实施的，公司更有可能雇用长期工人，而不受经济趋势的影响。我们实现了一个小型经济社会，通过它我们研究了LCA后经济差距的来源。我们的研究报告支持修订这类就业法的立法。
In 2012, Japan amended its Labor Contract Act (LCA) to ameliorate the employment conditions for fixed-term workers. Unfortunately, the amended law still has a problem, which is known as the refusal to renew employment contracts. This paper argues that the law’s amendment fails to reflect its initial motivation due to a gap between its predicted and its actual effects. We employ a multi-agent system, in which agents autonomously behave as employers and employees. We simulated the amendment’s effect with a multi-agent system that consists of company agents with Q-learning and worker agents. Our experiments clarified that since the LCA was enforced in advance, companies are more likely to hire permanent workers without being swayed by economic trends. We achieved a small economic society through which we examined the source of the economic disparity post-LCA. Our study supports legislation for amendment of such employment laws.
