Abstract: The paper compares atypical forms of employment in Japan and Germany, two countries with different regulatory frameworks. Despite these differences both countries have experienced an increase in part-time, temporary agency and fixed-term employment, and the trends show striking similarities. For female employees, atypical employment has become the new norm. Those in atypical employment are disadvantaged compared with regular employees in both countries, above all when it comes to wages but also in terms of access to in-service further training. The regulatory framework puts atypical employees in D in a relatively better position than in J, as it lays down the principle of equal treatment.
