11 million labor shortage in 2040
With the decline in the working population becoming more serious as predicted, and the demand for related human resources increasing with the arrival of the DX era, the difficulty of “hiring” has become more difficult than ever. A company’s management resources include “people, goods, and money,” but the relative importance of “people” has increased, and we are living in an era where a company’s growth depends on human capital. We will solve these social issues faced by Japanese companies from the perspective of filling positions and revitalize all kinds of companies.
