However, the estimated contribution of temporary work to the overall jobs impact of short-time work schemes is very small and not statistically significant. The total number of jobs saved as a result of short-time work after taking account of its potential impact on temporary employment is 215 000 for Germany and 385 000 for Japan (instead of 220 000 and 395 000, respectively). The discrepancy between the net number of jobs preserved and the total potential number of jobs preserved actually represents the sum of deadweight and displacement effects. However, it is unlikely that displacement effects had been very large as of 2009 Q3.
