China News Service, May 20 (Xinhua Overseas Chinese News) reported that unemployment means graduation, which is the cruel reality that graduates in Japan will face in 2020.
According to the latest data released by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare recently, from January to March this year, the hiring rate of Japanese companies continued to decline, and the unemployment rate also continued to rise. The ratio of job seekers to job vacancies in March was only 1.39. This is the first time in the past three and a half years that the ratio of job seekers to job vacancies has fallen below 1.4.
Since January, the number of new recruitment positions launched by Japanese companies has continued to decrease. Compared with the same period last year, the reduction in each month has exceeded 10% in the past three months. This is also the first time in 18 years after the bursting of the Internet bubble in Japan in 2001. At the same time, Japan ’s unemployment rate has continued to rise, and as of March, Japan ’s unemployment rate was 2.5%.
The calculation results of the Japanese consulting firm Daiwa Research Institute show that after April, the recession in the Japanese job market will continue to deteriorate. If the epidemic in Japan, Europe and the United States cannot be effectively controlled by December this year, and the Japanese government cannot promote a strong Economic policy, the unemployment rate in Japan may rise to as high as 6% to 7%, the unemployment population will reach 412 to 4.81 million. During the 2008 financial crisis, Japan ’s unemployment rate rose to only 5.5%.
A Chinese student said that the default obtained in December last year, as a fresh graduate, reported to the company on March 1 and took more than a month's class. The whole company "self-sufficiency" and is now on "paid leave" "Stage. I have been anxious every day for more than a month. "I am a person who has not had time to learn anything. I have entered the vacation period. I am really worried that I will be the first batch of layoffs after starting work."
The International Labor Organization (ILO) predicts that 25 million people will be unemployed worldwide due to the epidemic, surpassing 22 million during the global financial crisis. In addition to the need to increase efforts to control the epidemic, the Japanese government also needs to quickly explore a new economic model that can adapt to the long-term epidemic. (Zhang Tong)
