2024年日本の労働市場の展望：慢性的な人手不足の中でも市場の流動化が加速する可能性
1. Recent research material in Japanese with key points summarized below highlighting positive developments with Outlook for Japan's labor market in 2024
a. Labor shortage and tight labor market continues throughout 2024
b. Labor supply by seniors, women, and foreign workers: Seniors are the largest potential group with a high desire to seek employment. Although the female labor supply is steadily increasing, there are challenges to further expansion.
c. Possibility of an increase in job changes coming from: a) interest in job hunting among seniors, b) interest in remote work, c) interest in higher wages, and d) interest from people in other occupations in software development jobs etc. However, even if there is interest, it does not lead to a significant increase in job changes due to age and experience constraints. In 2024, if such problems are addressed through reskilling, etc., the number of job changes overall will increase.
d. Wage growth: a significant driver of liquidity of the job market is the ability for job seekers to have access to higher paid jobs.
e. Impact of generative AI: As the use of generative AI and other technologies increases, not only will there be more jobs to develop these tools, but there will also be widespread impacts on the labor market in terms of both quantity (supply and demand) and quality (work styles, etc.)
