TOKYO Cheap Blue Jays
Jersey , Dec. 2 (Xinhua) -- Japanese politicians have recently
expressed growing concern about the rising numbers of a section of society aged
roughly between 15 and 34 known both in Japan and globally by the acronym NEET
(Not In Education, Employment or Training), as the government desperately tries
to reboot the employment market as part of its bid to yank the world's third-
largest economy out of recession and back on a recovery path.

As a recent report released by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare
showed, there are currently an estimated 630,000 NEETs spanning the country,
which is almost 2.5 percent of people in that age demographic, but while the
figure has increased by around 40 Blue Jays
Troy Tulowitzki Jersey ,000 young people each year over the past
decade, private organizations believe that the contemporary figures are actually
far higher, exceeding 1.5 million people.

Government reports have designated NEETs as being those who typically reject
conventional models of society and adulthood in general. Whereas they've seen
generations above them join escalator systems transporting them through various
stages of education and delivering them automatically into the workplace to
become"salarymen"or to seek further education to obtain more skills, or higher
education to become more marketable to companies, for them, the NEETs, following
such social constructs goes against the grain.

Keiko Gono, a prominent Tokyo-based sociologist Blue Jays
Ryan Goins Jersey , explained that in the past Japan was known for
its system of"lifetime employment" meaning that essentially when an individual
joined a company, they would spend their entire working days there, with their
annual salary expanding yearly along with their bi-annual bonuses, and when they
turn 60, they would end their career with a princely retirement package and
enough money in the bank to see out their lives comfortably. "But then Japan's
economic bubble burst and suddenly life for many people became a lot harder.
Investments were lost, regular salaries and bonuses were cut and a lot of
restructuring in business began to happen,"Gono told Xinhua in a recent
interview. "Essentially this meant that rather than firing someone, a worker
considered inefficient in their company would be moved to a different department
perhaps with a stricter manager Blue Jays
Russell Martin Jersey , sometimes to a different office, or even to
a different part of the country, with previous privileges removed and certain
incentives cut." "In some instances, power harassment in the work place in order
to get them to quit of their own volition, so the companies didn' t have to pay
redundancy money would occur, or measly early retirement packages were offered,
so the individual could leave the company with a modicum of dignity and look for
irregular employment."

She went on to say that for the first generation of NEETs, the "job for life"
incentive all of a sudden didn't exist and the workforce Blue Jays
Roy Halladay Jersey , due to globalization was becoming
increasingly competitive and those who couldn't, for whatever reasons, compete,
be it due to educational qualifications or lack thereof, or for social or
psychological reasons, opted to abstain from working or training, as the
nation's peripheral labor force, comprising construction work and the
like Blue Jays
Roger Clemens Jersey , as well as part-time jobs in the retail
industry, offered limited security or stability, low pay and grueling work and
schedules. "NEETs are believed by many, including some politicians, to be
freeloading wasters, who are simply lazy and don't want to work for a living and
contribute to society, and while for some this may indeed be the case, the
phenomenon as it exists today Blue Jays
Roberto Osuna Jersey , is far more complex,"Gono explained.

Tomo Morioka, 28, apart from a few part-time jobs in convenience stores, has
never, since leaving education, been in gainful employment and survives through
state benefits when he can receive them, but largely from handouts from his
parents and other relatives. He lives in a single studio-type apartment on the
outskirts of the Shinagawa district of central Tokyo and is wholly unapologetic
about his situation. "Yes Blue Jays
Roberto Alomar Jersey , I'm a NEET if that's what you want to call
me and yes I' m a financial drain on my family and society to an extent. But if
you were to ask me if I am to blame for my situation, I would have to answer a
resounding no," Morioka told Xinhua. "I dropped out of university because I
quickly realized that the Japanese education system is a complete waste of time
and I was learning nothing that would prepare me or aid me to live anything
approaching a worthwhile existence once I graduated,"he said, declining to
mention the name of the university, although intimating it was a notable one.
"In senior high school we spend the entire time cramming to pass this
ridiculously difficult standardized test to enter a certain university. The test
has nothing to do with the major we want to study and once we're in university
it's like being in kindergarten again -- students spend more time and effort on
their club and sports activities than they do on their studies, as graduating is
basically automatic and job hunting is just a numbers game -- you interview at
as many companies as you can, even if the industry has nothing to do with your
major or your interests Blue Jays
Paul Molitor Jersey , and accept the first semi-decent offer that's
made. And that becomes your life." "That's no life at all. I'd rather be jobless
and homeless, which I kind of am," Morioka said.

Morioka had a few choice words to say about Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the
direction he has led the country in both economically and politically and said
that, "If I were to find a job, and I could tomorrow, as it's not as if I'm
stupid, why would I want my taxes to support a corrupt government that has no
interest in taking care of its own people? For decades, the government has
overspent and put the country in debt and now by raising taxes Blue Jays Mat
Latos Jersey , we're supposed to pick up the pieces with lower
incomes and higher prices? It's disgusting,"Mo
