5th Survey on Working Life

The Survey on Working Life is carried out with the objective of using a chronological study to gain an understanding of the reality of working life, clarifying the baseline and changes therein, conducting evaluations thereof, and obtaining basic data for policy-making. In ascertaining the baseline of working life, this study focuses on people's concerns (consciousness) and trends therein, centering on their self-actualization through work; the survey is characterized by its approach, involving the examination of a diverse range of aspects of work consciousness, including attitude to work, the relationship between work and other aspects of life, and awareness of systems and rules with work at their core.
