 note = {Many temporary employment workers in Japan currently labor under severe employment conditions, such as very low wages, overtime work, and exclusion from workers compensation. However, in most Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, employment conditions are better than those in Japan. Therefore, we believe it would be significant to determine the factors that influence Japan’s temporary workers to labor under severe employment conditions. We estimate temporary employment functions in OECD countries by analyzing panel data for the period 2000-2011 and compare temporary employment in the European Union (EU) to that in Japan. The results of our analyses are as follows. (1) Employment protection legislation increases the rate of youth temporary employments and this is used for cost adjustments. (2) In OECD countries, part-time workers are used as a buffer against business fluctuations. (3) In the case of female regular workers in Japan, the 25-29 year age group is the largest, whereas in the EU, it is the 40-54 year age group. (4) In Japan, female temporary workers are almost equally distributed across all age groups. However, in the EU, the 40-54 year age group has the largest number of such workers. (5) The wage gap by employment contract and by gender is large in Japan.},
