Recruit Co., Ltd.'s research institute "Jobs Research Center" conducted the "<Student Version> Job Seeker Trends and Awareness Survey 2023" in January 2023 and reported the results of the survey.The survey targets are men and women aged 1 to 15 nationwide who are either graduate students, university students, junior college students, preparatory school students, vocational school students, miscellaneous school students, or high school students.Non-high school students are counted as “college students, etc.”29 valid responses.
Compared to the 2018 survey results, the percentage of students who were looking for a part-time job within the last year (January to December 1) increased significantly from 2022% to 1%.On the other hand, the number of students who have had a part-time job within the last year has decreased by about 12 percentage points from 26.8% to 55.2%.As for the reason, in 1, 70.0% of students had a part-time job (continuing a part-time job they started before) although they did not look for a part-time job within a year, compared to 57.4% in 13. It is possible that it remained atIt is possible that the number of students looking for part-time jobs has increased in the past year, as they were refraining from working part-time due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Convenience store/supermarket clerks were the most common for both university and high school students in terms of job content they searched for within the past year and content of their current part-time job.In addition, hall staff at restaurants, which have been greatly affected by the corona wreck, are currently the second largest part-time job overall, and when limited to university students, the result was the third after cram school teachers.
As for the absolute conditions that were emphasized when looking for a part-time job, there were no changes from 2018, and responses were gathered regarding working styles, such as working hours and working days, in order to balance study and personal life.What particularly stood out this time was where to work part-time. In 2018, 38.6% to 57.2% of students cited commuting time (ease of commute) as an absolute requirement, and work location increased from 45.0% to 56.7%. expanded greatly.Many students have part-time jobs at convenience stores and supermarkets. Another reason is that there is a high possibility that they are located in the area where they want to work, no matter where they are at home or around school, and commuting is not a bottleneck.
When looking for a part-time job, university students commented, "I'm working near my home, but I'd like to find something I want to do and a place with a good hourly wage." It would have been better if there was one.”
