| Summary |
This survey was conducted by an online survey in September 2011 to gather information about attitudes toward and the actual situation of employment among men and women aged 40s to 70s. Sampling included both employed and unemployed people, and question items were prepared to gather information about diverse attitudes/the actual situation of employment in the comparatively older 40s to 70s age group. In addition, by targeting age groups up to 70s for analysis, data from people with experience of retirement are also included, and the survey has many question items about attitudes toward/the actual situation of employment after going through retirement. |
