In Japan, while it is considered a matter of course that irregular employees are treated differently from regulars, the question of whether differences in treatment are justified—in terms of ability, contribution to the company or responsibility—is a highly debatable issue. Again, if those differences in treatment are not justifiable in reasonable terms, and are found to constitute discrimination, how is that discrimination to be eradicated? All these matters have long generated intense controversy, both on the shop floor and in academia.This paper attempts to present a fairly accurate picture of the present situation of irregular workers, including the so‐called ‘full‐time part‐timers’ or ‘para‐part‐timers’ (giji‐pāto), who have the same scheduled working hours as full‐time regular employees but are treated as part‐timers. It looks at recent government policies and academic theories relating to part‐timers, and presents some fundamental challenges to those schools of thought that insist that differences in the treatment of regular and irregular workers do not constitute discrimination.
