Reform project for senior staff in the Japanese civil service

In addition to progressively raising the retirement age for civil servants from 60 to 65 between now and 2030, the government has introduced two measures concerning staff over the age of 60: removal from managerial positions together with a 30% reduction in salary. This system is already in place in the private sector and the aim is to boost the motivation of younger employees by increasing their chances to serve in these positions.
