The Japanese government is addressing the issues surrounding Spot Work, or gig jobs, with a planned constitutional bill. This comes amid increasing concerns about job security and exploitation of gig workers. It's not yet clear what the specifics of the bill are but it indicates a step towards providing more protection and rights for gig workers in Japan.

In Japan, there is growing concern about the 'gig economy' where workers take on short-term contracts or freelance work instead of permanent jobs. Labor rights activists argue that such workers lack protection and are often exploited, working long hours with no health insurance or retirement benefits. This potential legislation resonates with the Japanese public, who value job security but are seeing an increase in the prevalence of gig work.

Similar issues have been the subject of legislation in the US and EU. In California, for instance, the AB5 bill reclassified many gig workers as employees, giving them legal protections. But it has also sparked controversy, with companies like Uber and Lyft arguing it hurts their business model. In the EU, directives have been passed to ensure more rights for gig economy workers.
