abstract: 'The `Work Style Reform'' (WSR) initiative, spearheaded by the late former
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, has advocated for the adoption of `fukugyo''
(''side jobs'') as an additional source of income for workers. While this
initiative is often uncritically viewed as a possible solution to
insecure employment, especially for women employed in low-paying,
temporary positions, this article argues that the WSR''s promotion of
fukugyo, reinforces patriarchal norms rather than challenging them.
Furthermore, it critiques the neoliberal ideology that underpins the WSR
initiative, which portrays underpriviledged groups of workers, such as
working women in non-regular employment earning less than their male
counterparts, as `flexible'', `autonomous'' and `entrepreneurial'', capable
of juggling multiple jobs while fulfiling their domestic duties. The
article claims that the WSR''s promotion of fukugyo lacks sufficient
legal safeguards and social welfare support for fukugyo workers, the
majority of whom are not recognised as `workers'' under Japan''s labour
law. As a result, it could exacerbate the problems of employment
insecurity and gender inequality in Japan.'
