Job opportunities are full, and Japan companies are starting to grab people! In the era of declining birthrate, young people in Japan have won!
Judging from the economic data of recent years, Japan has come out of the so-called lost three decades in the past, the domestic economy has also turned from deflation to inflation, and the economic vitality of the whole society has begun to recover. However, because Japan's economy has been sluggish in the past 30 years and young people lack channels to rise, Japan people at that time were very resistant to having children, and after a vicious circle of 30 years, Japan has now entered an era of low birthrate.
For Japan, now that the domestic economy has begun to recover, it is the time when labor is needed, but due to the aging population and the impact of the declining birthrate, Japan's domestic labor force is actually very short, job opportunities are full, and a large number of Japanese companies have begun to grab people. In order to grab people, Japan companies have also begun to accelerate "involution", such as taking the initiative to increase salaries, improve benefits, reduce working hours, and so on.
However, because there are many job opportunities but few young people, young people in Japan are not in a hurry now. Unlike many countries where college students are unemployed after graduation, in this year's college graduation season in Japan, many Japanese college students are troubled by the fact that they have multiple offers in their hands, and it is too difficult to choose! According to the data, the employment rate of university students in Japan reached a new high of 98.1% this year, the highest level since statistics became available since 1997.
For Japan companies, because the number of young people is relatively small, they also have to increase the scale of corporate recruitment and strive to reserve more labor, such as Japan's Mitsubishi UFJ Bank recently announced that this year's recruitment quota will be increased by 70% to 600 people. It is no exaggeration to say that benefiting from the declining birthrate and the beginning of the recovery of Japan's economy, young people in Japan have indeed won hemp and become a truly scarce resource.
According to the latest statistics, due to the "involution" recruitment model launched by Japan companies, new university graduates who will join in April 2024 will have a starting salary of 226,000 yen, equivalent to 11,000 yuan. You know, this is equivalent to an internship salary, if the back employees do a good job, then the salary and position can jump quickly.
In addition to the obvious increase in wages, some Japan companies also directly "pay money" in order to attract new people to join. For example, Aisin Seiki, which produces auto parts in Japan, wrote prominently on the recruitment website: 1 million yen will be given when you go to work, which is about 49,000 yuan in entry bonus.
In addition, Japan companies are constantly reforming themselves, and in the past, Japan companies were most criticized for seniority, and it was difficult for new employees to be promoted quickly even if they were excellent. But now, more and more Japan companies have removed the number of years limit on employee promotion in their recruitment requirements, so in theory, young people can quickly grow into middle and senior management of companies as long as they are good enough.
Finally, there is the issue of welfare, many Japan companies consider that young people now hate the overtime culture, so they promise employees to eliminate overtime, and also give employees a paid leave period that can take 129 days a year, if the company does need employees to work overtime, they will also ask for advice, and promise to triple overtime pay. At the same time, some Japan companies have also begun to build staff dormitories for employees, with restaurants, kitchens, sofas, cloakrooms and other facilities in the dormitories, as long as fresh graduates join the company, they can stay for free for 5 years.
Through the examples I mentioned above, I believe it is not difficult for you to see that in the era of declining birthrate, young labor force is indeed becoming more and more popular, and the involution between employees in the past is evolving into the involution of enterprises to fight for employees, to be honest, this is indeed the envy of ordinary workers. Of course, in a sense, the reason why this group of young people in Japan now have this blessing is also the reason why their parents exchanged their youth. What do you think?
