ですが、小売・専門サービスを自由化しろ、農業の生産者補助を減らせというのと並んで、「正規雇用の雇用保護法制を改革せよ」というのが挙がっています。

Reform employment protection legislation for regular employment

Uncertainty about the definition of unfair dismissal applied by courts has made the requirement for dismissals less transparent and this could have discouraged the hiring of regular workers. The strictness of employment protection for regular workers has increased the proportion of non-regular workers, raising both efficiency and equity concerns.

Actions taken: No measures have been taken to ease employment protection for regular workers.

Recommendations: To remove judicial uncertainty that discourage the hiring of regular workers, more precise and transparent statutory guidelines should be established. Reduce employment protection for regular workers, thereby lowering the incentives to circumvent strict conditions by hiring nonregular workers.
