Research Method Literature review, and field survey with interviews Key Findings In the latter half of the 20th century, while ambiguous employment (employment-like working style in this research) became increasingly common, judgments on whether workers qualified as “employees” were left up to courts of law. In Germany, France, and the UK, courts viewed the notion of an “employee” as a uniform and consistent idea, though there were development toward broadening the notion, in the end there was little expansion. As a result, it was not possible to extend necessary social protection to employee-like persons who did not meet the conventional definition of “employee.” Thus, in these countries, the social protection of employee-like persons had to be addressed through legislative resolution. Meanwhile, in the US the notion of “employee” is a basic one, but it is not understood in a uniform and consistent manner, and courts initially adopted criteria based on employers’ control. Subsequently, however, the courts used an economic realities test for those covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act to expand the notion of employee. Regarding social protection for employee-like persons, based on examination of circumstances in each country, approaches to these protections can be classified as: (i) introducing an intermediate category between employees and the self-employed (such as “employee-like persons,” etc.) and partial application of labor and social security laws to this category, (ii) defining employee-like persons separately for the purposes of each law and taking legislative measures to provide necessary (special) protections accordingly, and (iii) expanding the notion of “employee” so that employee-like persons can be classified as “employee” and protected (known as “correction of misclassification”). In recent years, there has been a trend to protect employee-like persons (crowdworkers, etc.) who work outsourced or contracted through platform operators, and in France legislative measures have been taken to provide a certain degree of protection while clarifying that those workers are not “employees,” while the UK and Germany have not currently taken legislative measures. In the US, a court in California has interpreted the notion of “employee” broadly and ruled that these employee-like persons are “employees.” Policy Implications In Japan, as well, disputes over whether employee-like persons qualify as employees are increasing, and courts have a position on “employee” under the Labor Union Act more broadly than under the Labor Standards Act. In individual labor relations, however, the notion of “employee” is uniform and consistent, with subordination to an employer as a criterion. Some theories have criticized this perspective of the courts. Considering the fact that courts in the UK, Germany and France continue to adhere to traditional interpretations of the notion of “employee” centered on economic dependency and control, it appears that because the notion of “employee” is a uniform and consistent under individual labor laws in Japan as well, it will take a great deal of time for this notion to be reconsidered. Japanese labor law maintains the traditional dichotomy of an employee versus a self-employed worker, but in light of trends in various countries, it seems that it is time to review this basic structure. The three approaches, (i) to (iii), listed above are thought to offer important hints for consideration of the social protection systems in the future. Which of these three approaches to adopt, or whether to adopt some other approach altogether, would be serious issues at stake. In Japan, where the notion of “employee” in individual labor relations is uniform and consistent, it seems appropriate for the time being to explore approaches (i) and (ii). Japan does not have intermediate categories as in the UK and Germany, still, it has social protection systems for the self-employed such as the provisions of the Home Work Act and a special insurance for the workers’ accident compensation insurance system. Considering these circumstances, it is conceivable that labor policy could take the direction of building on existing systems such as the Home Work Act and the special insurance for the workers’ accident compensation insurance system. In Japan, as well as other four countries, social protection for workers who work on consignment or under contracts with platform operators are being discussed. In light of the disparate nature of trends in various countries, however, the direction that social protection for these workers cannot be said to be clearly defined. Policy Contribution Based on this study, two authors of this research reported on trends of labor policies, etc. in the four countries covered, in the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s 5th and 8th Study Meetings on Work Style Similar to Employment (5th session, February 13, 2019, and 8th session, March 22, 2019). These findings will be used by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and other ministries and agencies in the future when considering measures related to employment-like working styles.
