[Trends]
The average age of job-changing housewives was 45.9 years old, down 0.3 years from the previous month and down 0.6 years from the same month last year.
Looking at the composition ratio by age group, the ratio of those aged 60 and over was 10.2%, which, although lower than the previous month's 15.0%, continues to maintain a high level. On the other hand, the ratio of people in their 40s, a demographic considered to have many child-rearing individuals, rose to 29.7% from 27.5% in the previous month.
March is typically a time when job-seeking activities among child-rearing individuals tend to slow down due to long school holidays and preparations for the new school term. However, this year, the ratio of people in their 40s has increased, showing some movement among the child-rearing demographic.
Looking ahead, as the new school term begins, job-seeking activities among child-rearing individuals are expected to gradually become more active, and the average age may temporarily decrease.
