Japanese term or phrase: 異種雇用制度
Introduction of this system is suggested as a way to reduce personnel expenses, together with increasing part-time workers.

I am not exactly sure what it is referring to. Perhaps to classes of workers with different benefit, subcontracting,or other ways to lower expenses?

異種雇用制度


Explanation:
This term refers most likely to non-traditional employment formats under which workers are contingent, seasonal, or otherwise distinct from regular employees. The point is that labor costs (including indirect elements like post-retirement benefits) are a lot lower than in the case of standard employment. I would translate this term as "alternative employment formats."
