Halo minasan!
Okay, let me estimate how long I gonna study online now.
LOL.
Cos dun wanna study at my desk,
sort of too messy for me to focus.
So I shall blog it here and like Hao says, share with ya guys!.
Alright, I shall start from topic 4 =D
What is a
Freeter?.
A
freelance part-time worker of age
15-34 (excludes students and home makers)
Like part time employees, temporary employees or those whom are unemployed but actively seeking for a full-time job.
"Iyo, there seems to have a lot Freeters in S'pore too -.-"
And there are some people whom are distinct from these Freeters, we call them NEETS.
Okay, there are basically 3 types of Freeters.
1.
Moratorium type:
These are ppl who dislike competitive work but enjoy life and CHILL~
2.
Dreams pursuing type:
They have a specific dream to follow.
3.
No alternative type:
They want to work but can't find any, may be due to lack of skills or bad luck.
And hey, why there is an increase of no. of Freeters in Japan for over 20 years?.
This is due to:
-
Change of labour market-
Globilisation of business-
Less recruitment of new staffs-
Rich society
Hourly pay for the Freeters is
1000yen (roughly S$13)
But their daily expenses is high, can't compare them with S'poreans.
You'll now be thinking, when did Freeters start?.
Uh huh...
It actually started during the
bubble economy from
1986-1990.
It is a time when land and stock prices shot up in Jap economy.
And this is when
Nikkei share prices (Jap stocks) pushed over to
3500 yen!. The Japanese were very rich by then and Freeters hence increased during the
LOST DECADES from
1982-1995 and
RECESSION PERIOD.
In year
2005, which is rather a recent case,
Jap unemployment rate is listed below for different age categories:
25-29 is 6.4%
20-24 is 9.0%
15-19 is 11.7%
Total rate is 4.7%,.
Wow, this must be crazy!.
You'll come to realize that the youngsters don't bother to work at all during that FAT period isn't it.
Hahas.
That's silly lo -.-
And do you know that Freeters had caused a quite a number of social problems in Japan?
-Like skilled labour shortage
-Income gap
-Collapse of pension system
-shortage of labor and low birth rate
Thus, there's always a solution to a problem.
Solutions from government:
-Counseling
-Discussions
-Job advertisements
Councils involved in this programme would be the
MINISTRY OF HEALTH( talks about
LABOR and WELFARE) and
MINISTRY OF ECONOMY (talks about
TRADE and INDUSTRY)
Hokay, I think that's bout it.
Iyo I'm so tired now.
Wonder if it's the Tetanus that caused that drowsiness.
Iyoyo...
I shall go do
housework le,
ganbatte kudasai!=)
Byebye~
*May be back again in the evening LOL.
