In Japan, agricultural corporate farms are expected to offer stable jobs in rural and the number of them is increasing. However, more and more companies in rural areas cannot employ people since the rural population is shrinking. In this paper, we examine the employment policy toward social change in company A, a large-scale agricultural corporate farms producing and wholesaling vegetables in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. The company has employed many people, including part-timers and full-timers, since 1987. The result show that the difficulty in local employment of part-timers was remarkable. Agricultural corporate farms should take measures to compensate for the decreased number of employees and, in terms of regular employments, to cultivate core human resources.
