Admin’s Note

The news that the competition ratio for this year’s Tokyo Metropolitan Government recruitment exam has reached 57 to 1 highlights the harsh reality faced by the so-called “employment ice age” generation. The fact that 1,142 people applied for just 20 positions underscores the seriousness of the situation, as many are seeking stable employment. Support for the employment ice age generation remains a crucial issue, and this ratio clearly illustrates the need for such assistance. I hope that the efforts of the government and local authorities will provide some help to this generation.
