gentei

Gentei is a term used in various contexts, primarily in Japanese and South Korean cultures. It refers to a person who is employed or engaged in a specific role or capacity, often with certain restrictions or requirements.

In Japanese culture, gentei typically refers to an employee or contractor who has a specific agreement or contract governing their employment. This can include provisions for hours of work, payment, and other terms and conditions. Gentei workers may not be considered regular employees and may have limited benefits or job security.

In South Korean culture, gentei refers to a type of employment known as a "gentei worker" or " dispatch worker". These workers are typically employed by a staffing agency or recruitment company and are assigned to work for a specific client or company on a short-term or project-based basis. Gentei workers may not be considered regular employees of the company they are working for and may have limited benefits and job security.

In both Japanese and South Korean contexts, gentei can refer to workers who are engaged in non-traditional or precarious forms of employment. This may include freelancers, temp workers, and others who are not entitled to the same rights and benefits as regular employees.

Gentei is often contrasted with regular employment, which is typically characterized by more comprehensive benefits, job security, and workers' rights. The gentei model of employment has been criticized for creating unstable and precarious working conditions, particularly for low-skilled or low-wage workers.
