Summary Foreign companies are actively expanding into the Asia-Pacific region (APAC) not only as a global production base but also because of the region's strong market appeal. For these companies to succeed in doing business in APAC, it is necessary to develop recruitment and training strategies based on a thorough understanding of the labor laws and business practices in each country and region, as well as the preferences and characteristics of the workforce. In addition, a comparison of the employment situation in Japan with that in other major economies, not limited to APAC, can provide essential insights into Japan's employment and labor issues.
Therefore, this survey will clarify the actual working conditions and attitudes toward work, the status of job change, and growth through working of people in major cities in 18 countries and regions in APAC, Europe, and the United States, and will also ascertain their images of working in Japanese companies and the countries in which they would like to work. We will also ascertain the impact of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on workers' attitudes and ways of working.
This survey is a continuation (cross-sectional survey) of the " APAC Labor Market Status Survey (14 APAC Countries/ Regions' Data), 2019," and since many survey items are the same, changes over time can be confirmed.
