The construction industry, which wants to eliminate negative images and create a better future for the construction industry, is facing various problems such as labor shortages, an aging population, and labor environment issues. In an attitude survey* conducted by Nikkei Crosstech, when asked, “Do you want to encourage young people around you or your own children to work in the construction industry?”, the average person answered “I strongly agree.” Only 1% of respondents answered that they “somewhat agree,” and even when combined, the percentage remained at 12%, revealing the harsh reality. * Source: Nikkei Crosstech
