The Japanese government will amend the Local Public Service Act and the Local Autonomy Law on April 1, 2020. In this revision, the local government will reconfirm the appointment system of part-time staff, adjust the number of posts and types, apply work regulations, and improve the allowance and salary. However, because the government’s control over local governments and the discretion of local governments are ambiguous, this amendment will create new problems. Also, because local governments are short of financial resources, part-time staff may be at risk of reducing post-employment ‘yatoi-dome’, not re-hiring. Full-time staff will increase the burden on personnel evaluation subjects, which will have an adverse effect on “reform of workers”. Therefore, before the government changes the civil servant system, it is necessary to evaluate the new personnel policy in advance, carefully assessing necessity and effectiveness.
