Week 9:Problems
of Japanese Economy
Hello!! Week9’s topic is “present
problems of Japanese economy”. Today, in Japanese economy, there are many
problems. Do you think of any problems related with Japanese economy? This
time, I pick up problem about the situation of Japanese employment.
Increase of the unemployment rate
For a while after war, the number of unemployed people
had been less than one million without in 1955. But in 1975 the number was over
a million, in 1995 the number was over two million, and in 1999 the number was
about triple than in 1995. As you know to see picture below, the rate of unemployment
people became high with the situation. Today’s the rate is over 5%. Judged from
Japanese present situation of adopt, we can predict that the rate will rise.
Increase of young poor people
According to investigation of household type, the rate
of young poor people who are 29 years or younger become higher. The rate of
unemployment people who are 15-24 years old become higher, too. As we can know from
this date, there are many young people who get few incomes. Not few of the
people work as irregular worker. These people are represented as job-hopping
part-time worker (“フリーター” in Japanese). Average income of
these people is about 1,400,000 yen in a year in other word, average income of
these people is 120,000 yen per a month. It is difficult for them to live alone
with such little income. We can image easily that if these people have family
who are fed by them, the situation is more serious.(240)
People who work as job-hopping
part-time worker against one’s intention
According
to Cabinet Office, about 15% of job-hopping part-time workers expect that they
want to be job-hopping part-time worker. But actually, about 72% of job-hopping
part-time workers do not wish that they work as job-hopping part-time worker. They
want to work as regular stuff. You know form this date, we can guess that many
of them work against one’s hope. Those people who are not regular stuff are in difficult
labor environment because they cannot widen possibility by raising ability for
occupation or accumulating experience. So if they hope to be regular stuff, it
is difficult for them to get away from the situation because of their poor ability
for occupation.
Increase of the NEET who give up job
hunting
It
seems that the image of NEET that youth don’t have working will spreads and
colonizes widely. But this is slightly wrong. We can distinguish them whether
they have working will or not. Actually, the number of NEET who have the will
are more than the one who don’t have the will. The number of former is about
426,000 and the number of latter is about 421,000. In addition, the number of
former is increasing and the number of latter doesn’t increase. From this date,
we can guess that the course of NEET’s condition is not their will but bad employment
environment surrounding them. Most of them who have working will are affected
disease or injury and they cannot job search. So we should judge present
condition of NEET by only consider the number of them or the image.
Do
you know about problem about the situation of Japanese employment? A lot of causes
are included but many of them don’t relate to individual. So I want to Japanese
government or company make an effort to create good employment situation.
