A study group of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will put together a report stating that the government should grasp the actual situation of the labor market and utilize it for employment measures by establishing a mechanism to collect information from "recruitment media" that provides job information of companies on websites etc. It was decided.
Human resources services that mediate employment include "employment agency" and "Hello Work" that seek the establishment of employment contracts with the permission of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, and "recruitment media" that provides recruitment information of companies on the website and SNS.
When asked about the services that led to hiring of people looking for a job in a fact-finding survey conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare last December, "Hello Work" accounted for 12% and "Job media" accounted for 37.6%.
On the other hand, it has been pointed out that the current law does not require the permission or notification of the government for "recruiting media", but the amount of recruiting information provided should increase rapidly and rule-making should be promoted.
For this reason, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare set up a study group made up of experts in January and continued discussions, but it was decided to compile a report at the meeting held on the 13th.
According to this, the national government should establish a system to collect information such as the number of job openings of companies from the "recruitment media".
Although there are statistics such as the ratio of job offers to applicants based on Hello Work information, he points out that it is necessary to better understand the actual situation of the labor market and utilize it for employment measures.
In addition, according to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, there are problems because the wages and working hours described in the job information provided by the "Job Media" are different from the actual conditions.
For this reason, in the report, it is possible to post accurate and up-to-date job information, establish a system for accepting complaints about troubles, and search for a job with peace of mind so that there is no disadvantageous handling due to the use of personal information. We are asking you to create an environment where you can do it.
Based on this report, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare intends to start discussions at the council made up of representatives of labor and management from this autumn and submit a bill to amend the Employment Security Law to the ordinary Diet session next year.
