The number of female full-time employees is increasing. The number of full-time employees aged 15 to 64 in the first half of 2024 (average value for January to June) is expected to be 12.41 million, exceeding the number of non-regular employees for the first time in 21 years since 2003. This marks the highest figure for the first half of the year for five consecutive years. The increase was greatest among younger generations. Hiring is booming in industries facing labor shortages, including medical care, nursing care, and manufacturing. Figures for the first half of each year were compiled from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications’ Labor Force Survey. The ratio of full-time employees increased by 0.6 percentage points from the same period last year to 50.5%… (The following is a paid version, 1451 characters remaining)

They’re just temporary full-time employees, right?

Ah, so that’s why there’s a labor shortage.

Right
They are forced to hire mommies who can’t do their jobs, so they need people to help them.

And the declining birthrate.

If women are forced to earn money, it will accelerate the trend of unmarried people.

It’s unfair that only women are full-time employees.
8Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 1, 2024 (Sun) 07:17:55.75ID:iwzbGaf10
In what world are you talking about?
90% of the workers at my company are non-regular.

“Women’s advancement in society is a major factor in the declining birthrate.”
This is no doubt true and it’s the truth, but even researchers are so reluctant to say it because they would be criticized so much that it would end their lives…

If you were to plot the ratio of full-time female employees and the birth rate, you’d see a beautiful cross.

Full-time employee (only does easy and clean work, takes time off over trivial things).

There are too many young women in Tokyo. I want to give a chance to Doi-kun who works in the countryside, such as Kansai or Nagoya, so if you’re over 30 and single, why not move to the countryside?

Areas with young women thrive
It’s the same now as it was in the past.

The Ice Age Generation couldn’t get jobs because they were incompetent lol.

If it’s limited to the issue of declining birthrates, then it might be bad news.
19Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 1, 2024 (Sun) 07:22:11.54ID:w3KVbqdz0
I’m 40 (college graduate) and have been working full-time for 9 months lol.
20Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 1, 2024 (Sun) 07:22:19.68ID:Q6Qo2bpa0
The take-home pay for an office job is 160,000 yen.

I think if they were competent to begin with, they would have been hired. Nowadays there is a lot of pressure to hire people even if they are incompetent.
22Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 1, 2024 (Sun) 07:23:34.98ID:qJp6wdS/0
The temp worker said he earns 120,000 yen.

Aren’t new graduates usually hired as full-time employees?
24Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 1, 2024 (Sun) 07:24:50.81ID:bHgAI+hc0
It can’t be helped. In this time of labor shortage, even if we hire a lot of new graduates, they will quit within three years. If women have the motivation and ability, we will make them full-time employees. That will reduce the number of non-regular employees, so it’s a win-win for both companies and workers.

There’s nothing like it in physical labor.
27Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 1, 2024 (Sun) 07:27:26.37ID:qJp6wdS/0
Men can do both clerical and manual labor, but women tend to be better suited to clerical work.
29Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 1, 2024 (Sun) 07:28:23.94ID:qJp6wdS/0
Nowadays, men have become weak and just want to do office work.
31Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 1, 2024 (Sun) 07:29:42.20ID:qJp6wdS/0
I don’t want to sweat. I hate the heat and the cold. Men also want administrative work. There’s a rush for administrative work. This is also why some people want to become civil servants.

It’s a trend that it’s bad to show masculinity
In the past, mild yankee circles were thought of as blue collar workers, but nowadays, physical labor is tough, so they probably turn to shady part-time jobs.

Starting salary is 250,000 yen (basic salary 140,000 yen + lots of allowances)

Insurance and tax deductions start two months after joining the company
Apparently it takes 10 years for your take home pay to exceed your starting salary
There are a lot of shitty companies like this.

Let’s regulate the middleman.

The pay for office work is low and there are no increases. By combining accounting, labor, and legal work, I was finally able to earn a decent income.
38Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 1, 2024 (Sun) 07:32:05.51ID:DhN+GOMV0
That means the economy will improve from now on!
39Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 1, 2024 (Sun) 07:32:21.54ID:r7KUOhvG0
Well, both the Zeon and Earth Federation forces were full of women and children during the war, right?
No problem.

So that means we’re in an abnormal situation right now.

Well, there’s no culture in the world where women don’t work.
44Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 1, 2024 (Sun) 07:34:33.46ID:9I25tCVN0
I’ve begun to worry that a society in which women can play an active role is on the verge of collapse.
46Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 1, 2024 (Sun) 07:35:29.68ID:8UWFJagK0
It would be better to give preferential treatment to women when hiring new graduates. If the first year salary was set at around 4 million yen, we would be able to hire good talent.

The advantage for female employees is that they won’t be seriously scolded even if they make a mistake.
56Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 1, 2024 (Sun) 07:39:09.50ID:GiI8lg/q0
That’s a good thing, why are you guys complaining?

During the bubble period, the full-time employment rate was over 60%.
