Some aspects for the reforming prtgram of recruitnait and appointment in the public sector

自1977年以来，日本公务员制度发生了一些有趣的变化，其中之一是招聘制度的改革。传统上，大多数初次进入公共服务部门的人都是通过国家人事局举行的竞争性征聘考试担任初级职位的。职业生涯中期的招聘并不常见。但是，自1997年以来，政府制定了一些中期职业招聘制度。大多数职业中期招聘制度是基于短期任用。因此，对这些工作人员来说，公共服务不再是一份终身工作。第二，薪金和津贴将发生变化。《薪酬法》对公务员的工资和津贴作了详细规定。传统的制度包括职等、递增薪级表和职等内的自动升级。但近年来，我国公务员制度开始实行绩效工资制，但绩效工资在公务员总薪酬中所占的比例还很低，这是公务员制度改革的一个标志。

Some interesting changes have occurred in the Japanese public service since 1977.Firstly, one of them is a reform in the recruitment. Most initial entry into the public service has traditionally been made in junior level positions through competitive recruitment examination held by National Personnel Authority. Mid career recruitment was uncommon. But, since 1997 the Government has been made some systems for mid career recruitment. Most of mid career recruitment systems are based on short-term appointment. Therefore, Public service is no longer a job for life in regard to these staff.Secondly, change is going to occur in the salary and the allowances. The salary and the allowances of public servant have been regulated in detail by Remuneration Law. The traditional system consisted of grades and incremental scales and automatic progression within a grade. But recently Performance-related pay is going to introduce in the public service, though the proportion of it to the total remuneration is still low.These changes are a sign of restructuring the public service.
