"The way of working is just as good as people. I like it and don't have a hard time."When the Japan Productivity Center and the Japan Economic Youth Council conducted a questionnaire survey of 2018 new employees in 1,644, this awareness emerged.Perhaps there is a negative consciousness in working, voices that do not seek a way of working that is more than average have set a new record high.

 The survey was conducted on new employees in 3 who participated in the training village for new members of society in March and April, of which 4 men and 2018 women responded.The final academic background varies from high school graduates to graduate school graduates, and the size of the company covers a wide range from large companies with more than 943 employees to micro enterprises.

 According to it, 41.1% of the respondents said that they want to have a good life as their purpose of work. "Financial prosperity" reached a record high of 30.4%, but "testing one's ability", which once stood at the top many times, reached a record low of 10.0%.

 Regarding how much work they do, "more than average" dropped to a record low of 31.3%, while "sufficient to average" reached a record high of 61.6%.
Regarding whether to prioritize life as work or private, the most common answer was "compatibility", accounting for 78.0%, but "work-centered" decreased year by year to 6.7%. "Private priority" is increasing year by year to 15.2%.

 In response to the question, "Should I be willing to struggle when I am young?", 34.1% of the respondents answered, "I don't like to struggle."Regarding promotion, the number of people who said that they wanted to be the president was the lowest ever at 10.3%, while 12.7% who said they didn't want to get a position and 23.1% who said they didn't care, 35.8% of the total.
