Although the working conditions of college-level part-time lecturers in Japan have been a topic of discussion since the 1990s, receiving significant nationwide attention in 2007, there has not been a marked improvement since then. When the Japanese government revised the Labor Contract Act in 2013, it was expected that more employees would be shifted from fixedterm to permanent employment. The actual result, however, was that employers restricted the length of employee contract terms. This paper examines responses to a questionnaire survey given to part-time geography lecturers at Japanese universities. With an average work experience of more than 15 years, the respondents (n=15) reported earning a monthly salary of less than 30,000 yen per course per week. Most were teaching at more than four different institutions. The survey results showed that those making a living with multiple part-time lecture positions were teaching an average of eight classes per week.
