| Summary |
The average total unemployment rate of 4.1% in 1998, the worst ever recorded, surprised us greatly, so we decided to conduct a survey and research to hasten our understanding of the actual situation of unemployment and reemployment in the metropolis of Tokyo. The following year, 1999, saw an unfortunate record of 4.7%, and the present survey thus focused on ongoing unemployment. One of the main objectives is to find out what factors distinguish those who remain unemployed from those who find new employment, and another is the severity of unemployment. For the first point, we look at what attributes enable people to find new jobs and, conversely, what attributes keep people unemployed. The second point is to examine the recent unemployment crisis. In addition, a hearing survey was conducted on those who agreed to be interviewed among the respondents to the questionnaire survey, and the results are also reported. |
