| Summary |
The two main pillars of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's labor policy for senior citizens are (1) the Silver Human Resource Center Project, which organizes regional employment for the elderly as a way of making their lives worth living, and (2) the Employment Assistance Project for senior citizens who have reached retirement age or are over 60 years old and wish to work or find work. However, as the change from economic stagnation to recession since 1995 has become more serious, employment assistance programs for senior citizens who wish to work in companies have become extremely difficult. Therefore, in March 1998, the Bureau of Labor Economics of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government established a study group on the enhancement of the two existing programs and new measures for the labor of senior citizens. The study group decided that rather than forcing only companies to make efforts to employ senior citizens, the feasibility of a "new way of working" for senior citizens should be examined, in which senior citizens themselves create their workplaces (start their businesses) and the elderly work in groups (dispatch, contracting, workers' collective) as independent forms of employment (middle market, or third market). The Tokyo Metropolitan Labor Research Institute participated in the study group and conducted this survey of graduates of the "Practical Seminar," a skills development program conducted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Employment Center for the Elderly established in 1996, as part of its contribution to measures to create jobs for senior citizens. The report includes an analysis of the results together with an interview survey of companies and organizations that cooperated in the "practical seminar. The specific objectives of this survey were: 1) to understand the current status of those who completed the practical seminar (to clarify their professional careers and current working styles), 2) to evaluate the practical seminar, and 3) to analyze the awareness and needs of those who completed the practical seminar toward new ways of working. |

| Sampling Procedure | Probability: Stratified Probability: Stratified: Disproportional From the 2,021 persons who completed the practical seminars in fiscal 1996 and 1997 (900 persons in the course for companies and 1,121 persons in the course for Silver Human Resources Centers), more emphasis was placed on persons who completed the practical seminar for companies, since the purpose of the survey was to place more emphasis on finding employment in companies. The survey was conducted by random sampling of 681 (70% of the total number of graduates of the seminar for companies) and 369 (one in three of the total number of graduates of the seminar for Silver Human Resources Centers) for a total of 1,050. | |
