若者の転職・退職とその理由 Reasons of Young People Changing Jobs and Quitting

NHKの朝のラジオ番組でこのタイトルでの内容の放送を耳にしました。

日本では人手不足、労働力不足で倒産する会社の数はコロナ以降、毎年急増中。

一方で、今年も正月明けに退職、離職、転職する「あけおめ退職」する20代の若者の数は4割以上。

その理由は第一に、転勤や残業などのいわゆる労働条件への不満です。

しかし、彼らはその後も、他の会社への転職、すなわち組織での勤務は希望しています。組織の傘の元での安全を求めている訳で、彼らの甘えの構造も垣間見えます。

会社などの組織に属する以上、自分の希望、主義、考えが100%満たされることはありません。

これらの事情を考えると、彼らの進む道は起業し、自分の希望、主義、考えを満たす自分の道を行くことですが、それには彼らには準備も実力も不足しているのが現実。

我慢するか、それとも、勇気を出して、組織に属さず、自分の給料は自分で稼ぐことの意味を早い段階で知るかの二者択一です。

ちなみに、私は20歳代の会社勤務時代には残業、転勤が嫌いでしたので、30歳前の脱サラを目指して次へのその準備と実力養成に相当な時間（5年以上）とエネルギーを費やしました。

I heard a broadcast on NHK's morning radio program discussing this topic.

In Japan, the number of companies going bankrupt due to labor shortages has been rapidly increasing every year since the Corona Pandemic.

Meanwhile, over 40% of young people in their 20s quit, leave, or change jobs soon after the New Year holidays—a phenomenon called “New Year's Resignations.”

The primary reason cited is dissatisfaction with working conditions, such as transfers and overtime working.

However, they still desire to work for another company, meaning they want to remain employed within an organization. They seek the security provided by an organization's umbrella, revealing a structure of dependency.

As long as one belongs to an organization like a company, one's hopes, principles, and ideas will never be 100% fulfilled.

Considering these circumstances, their path forward should be to start their own business and pursue their own way to fulfill their hopes, principles, and ideas. However, the reality is that they lack both the preparation and the capability for this.

It boils down to a choice: endure, or muster the courage to learn early on what it means to earn your own salary without belonging to an organization.

Incidentally, during my corporate days in my twenties, I disliked overtime working and being transferred. So, aiming to leave the corporate world before turning thirty, I devoted considerable time (more than 5 years) and energy to preparing and building my capabilities for my next stage.
