| Summary | Striking technological innovations, changes in the industrial structure, the arrival of an age of longevity and the elderly, and women's social advancement have all made it more likely to bring a mismatch between those who want to be employed and the employers, but these changes have also tended to increase opportunities for switching jobs on the part of the workers. In order to delineate issues which we will encounter in drawing a picture of an open, life-long educational society toward the twenty-first century, this survey was conducted clarifying young workers' occupational careers, educational experiences along the careers, and the way they understand those experiences. |
