According to a survey of employment information service Mynavi (President Nobuyuki Nakagawa, Tokyo), more than 6% of parents feel that it is "strict" for their children to get a job.When choosing a university to go to, nearly 6% of parents considered their employment record, and more than 4% wanted to get a job at a company with stable management.

 The survey was conducted on April 4-9, and responses were obtained on the Internet from 10 parents with children who were enrolled in the 4th year of university or 2nd year of graduate school, or who graduated and completed the survey in March and started job hunting.

 According to the report, 80.3% answered that they were "interested" in finding employment for their children.By parents, 78.5% of fathers are interested and 84.9% are mothers.51.7% of fathers were consulted about job hunting, while 65.1% were mothers, indicating that mothers are more closely involved in job hunting for their children.

 Regarding employment in what is called the seller market, 65.5% of parents answered that it was "severe", far exceeding 34.5% who said it was a "comfortable environment".Perhaps because of concerns about children, it seems that they take it more seriously than the general image.

 44.0% of the respondents said that their child's employment company wanted "stable management".This was followed by 36.9% of respondents who said they were in line with their wishes.When entering university, 57.2% answered that they "selected the destination based on their employment record," and the most important factor was the employment rate for each faculty, which reached 34.6%.
As for communication tools with children, 72.3% cited smartphones, and as for contact tools, 48.8% had lines, which was significantly higher than 14.8% for telephones.
