本文解释了日本临时工的长期增长，其就业份额在1986年至2008年期间从17%增加到34%。劳动力和产业构成的变化解释了临时工增加的四分之一。产品需求的不确定性以及信息和通信技术的引进增加了企业对临时工的使用。临时工的增加主要集中在新进入劳动力市场的人、较年轻的男性工人和所有年龄段的女性工人中，这表明长期雇佣关系的重要性下降是临时工增加的主要原因。
This paper explains the secular increase of contingent workers in Japan whose share of employment increased from 17 to 34 percent between 1986 and 2008. Changes in labor-forceand industrial compositions explain about one quarter of the increase of contingent workers. The uncertainty of product demand and the introduction of information and communication technologies increased firms' usage of contingent workers. The increase of contingent workers was concentrated among new entrants to the labor market, male workers of younger cohorts, and female workers of all cohorts, suggesting that the declining importance of the long-term employment relationship is a major cause for the increase of contingent workers.
