Gakujo Co., Ltd. conducted an Internet-based questionnaire on "UI turns and hopes for employment in rural areas" for university and graduate students scheduled to graduate (complete) in March 2022 valid responses.
According to the survey, "students who wish to work in UI turns or in rural areas" accounted for 44.6%, an increase of 2020 points from June 6.Also, when asked "Would you like to hear the story of a local company if you have the opportunity to hear the story of a local company in job hunting?", 17.8% said "I want to hear the story", indicating a high level of interest. The result was.
In response to the epidemic of the new coronavirus, 84.1% of the respondents answered that "the desire to find a job in a rural area has become stronger" and "the desire to find a job in a rural area has become stronger", due to the epidemic of the new coronavirus. It turned out that many students had a strong desire to get a job in a rural area. Many universities will offer classes online in 2020, and some of the students who went on to universities in urban areas from rural areas have returned to their hometowns and are taking classes online from their hometowns.Due to the corona sickness, the chances of going out even if I attended a university in an urban area decreased, and the experience of attending classes online from the local area changed my desire for "a place to live and work" and "local orientation". It is presumed that the number of students and those who wish to make a UI turn is increasing.
The most common reason for wanting to get a job in a UI turn or in a rural area was "I wanted to do a job that contributes to the local community" at 33.1%.This was followed by "because I am attracted to local and local job offers" and "because I want to live with my family" at 32.4%.When there is an event that greatly disrupts society, such as the spread of the new coronavirus infection, social contribution and usefulness for people tend to be the axis of job selection.Therefore, it is presumed that the increase in the number of students who focus on social contribution as the axis of job selection also leads to the increase in "UI turn applicants".In addition, 19.5% answered that they felt the risk of working in an urban area, and 18.5% answered that they could work anywhere with telework.
