"Oyakaku" means that when a company makes a job offer to a student, it obtains the approval of the student's guardian in advance. In a survey conducted by a job information site, more than half of the parents of job-hunting students answered that they had received Oyakaku.
Changes in parent-child relationships are one of the reasons behind the spread of “OYakaku’s” spread, says an employment information site researcher. "Oyaori" refers to information sessions for parents of prospective applicants.
