According to a report by the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) on the 18th, a labor survey conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan shows that from July to September 2021, Japan’s “long-term unemployed” who have been unemployed for more than one year will continue to be unemployed. The monthly average reached 660,000, an increase of 180,000 over the same period in 2020.

　　According to reports, according to the labor force survey conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan, between July and September 2021, the monthly average of 1.91 million "completely unemployed" who are looking for employment but cannot find a job.

　　Among them, the "long-term unemployed" who were unemployed for more than one year accounted for 34.6% of the "fully unemployed", reaching the highest level since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic.

　　The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications stated that “although the government’s subsidies and other support measures have suppressed the sharp rise in the unemployment rate, the decline in employment opportunities has led to difficulties in reemployment, and long-term unemployment may continue.”

　　A man in his 50s who was unemployed for more than half a year due to the new crown epidemic said, "Because I am not young anymore, no company has been willing to hire me." "Now my deposit is only 300,000 yen (about 17,000 yuan). ), anyway, I want to find a job at the end of the year and greet the Spring Festival well."

　　After analyzing this survey, the associate professor of Osaka City University in Japan, Keiji Wushi said that one of the backgrounds for this phenomenon is that once some people who have worked in the same company for a long time resign, it is difficult to find a salary that matches their current salary. Work with your own experience.

　　In addition, he also said that in the time when there is no job and no income, the borrowing of money will also increase, which will also affect health and mental state, which will further aggravate the difficulty of finding a job, and it will not be possible to restore the previous life. .

"Even if the new crown epidemic slows down and economic activity resumes, a considerable number of people are still left behind. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen safeguards and support measures."
