経済｜解体業の倒産増加と現状 / Economy | Increase in Bankruptcies in the Demolition Industry and Current Situation

Summary

In the demolition industry, bankruptcies are increasing at an alarming rate, driven by a shortage of labor and a lack of disposal sites for waste materials.

At the same time that redevelopment is progressing, demolition contractors are facing severe exhaustion on-site. This could potentially impact the progress of construction projects, leaving the entire industry in a tough situation. Measures for the future are urgently needed.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Log: I heard that there have been more bankruptcies in the demolition industry lately. What do you think?
Chako: Really? Why are so many going bankrupt?
Log: It’s because of labor shortages and a lack of places to dispose of waste materials, which is exhausting the industry.
Chako: In that case, redevelopment might not progress either.
Navi: Redevelopment is ongoing, but if bankruptcies in the demolition sector continue, it could lead to construction delays and increased costs.
Chako: I see, the impact is significant!

Admin’s Note

The news about the increase in bankruptcies within the demolition industry is quite surprising. It raises concerns about the overall sustainability of the industry, especially when such issues arise during a time of active redevelopment. Labor shortages and challenges in waste disposal affect not only the demolition sector but the entire construction industry as well. I feel it is urgent to reassess the industry’s systems and to cultivate new talent as a response to these challenges. It is particularly important to convey the appeal of this industry to young people.
