Gakujo Co., Ltd. conducts an Internet questionnaire survey on the theme of "UI turn" for university students and graduate students scheduled to graduate (complete) in March 2023, on how they perceive "working place" in employment. Carried out.

 According to the survey, 38.7% of the students answered that they would like to get a job in a UI turn or in a rural area.Compared to the questionnaire conducted for students graduated from 2020 in June 6 in the early days of Corona, the percentage of students who wish to find employment in UI turns and rural areas has increased by 2021 points. It can be seen that the number of students wishing to find employment in Japan is increasing. "I wanted to live near my family." "I think that the locals with my family and friends can live with peace of mind." "I was living alone in Corona, and I was worried about living alone in the future." Voices such as were sent.

 When asked if there was a change in awareness of employment in rural areas due to the epidemic of the new coronavirus, 37.0% answered, "I have come to want to find employment in more rural areas." When combined with 47.1%, "I have come to want to get a job in a rural area", more than 8% of the students want to get a job in a rural area.
"I think that there are fewer infections in rural areas and I can live with peace of mind." "In Corona, I think that if you get a job in an urban area, you will not be able to meet your family living in rural areas." , I have no interaction with people due to the corona virus, and I have no friends or acquaintances in Tokyo. After graduation, I want to go back to my hometown where my family and friends are. " I don't feel the need to be in the club anymore. "

 It is necessary to live in urban areas because the opportunities for interaction with people are decreasing due to the issuance of intermittent state of emergency and the application of priority measures such as prevention of spread, and the request to refrain from moving across prefectures. It can be seen that this is an opportunity to review the sexuality and has an influence on job selection in job hunting.
