Fukujinji LLC (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo) supports PR TIMES' "April Dream" project, which aims to make April 1st a day to talk about dreams. Through our job search website for seniors, "Career65," we dream of building a "system where everyone can reconnect with society" and realizing a society where age does not lead to loss of opportunity.
## The "1 in 3" challenge we aim to solve: Willingness to work, but no opportunities
Currently, there is a serious contradiction in the environment surrounding Japan's senior population. Despite having the desire to work and contribute to society, "1 in 3 seniors are unable to work even if they want to" (*).
This is not simply a matter of "not being able to find a job," but rather a structural "shortage of job openings" where options are narrowed due to age, and opportunities to utilize their past experience are not provided. Being disconnected from society not only deprives individuals of their purpose in life but also leads to serious social issues such as increased loneliness and health risks.
Our dream is to eliminate this "1 in 3 barrier" through the senior job search website "Career65" and establish a "system where all seniors who wish to work can naturally connect with society."

## Senior employment becomes an engine for regenerating the Japanese economy
Seniors actively participating in society again is not merely a supplement to the labor force but brings about a significant positive cycle for Japan as a whole.
1. Reduction of long-term care service costs and health maintenance
According to a survey by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, employed seniors, both male and female, have a higher health maintenance rate compared to those who are not employed. Working is the best "long-term care prevention," and an increase in healthy seniors directly leads to a reduction in Japan's overall long-term care service costs.
2. Contribution to economic activity and revitalization of consumption
Seniors who gain income and confidence through work, actively participating in consumption activities alongside the working generation, become a powerful energy supporting Japan's economic activity.
3. Aspect as SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals)
This service directly contributes to SDG 8 "Decent Work and Economic Growth" and SDG 10 "Reduced Inequalities." Building a society where age-based inequalities are eliminated and everyone can find meaningful work is a crucial cornerstone for the next generation, attracting extremely high social attention.
## We are looking for "supporting companies" to pursue this dream together
To solve the challenge faced by "1 in 3" people and to shape a system where everyone can reconnect with society, our efforts alone are not enough. We need more companies that will incorporate the rich experience, stability, and sincere desire to "be of help to someone" that senior talent possesses into their organizational growth strategies.
We believe that every step taken by companies to actively welcome senior talent by utilizing the "Career65" platform will transform Japan into a healthier and more vibrant society.

## To transform the desire to "work" into social vitality
Seniors who are currently seeking connection with society hold the wisdom cultivated over many years and the enthusiasm to adapt to new environments. We strongly desire a society where all seniors, even beyond the milestone of 65, can continue to build rich careers of their own volition, leveraging their past experiences.
What we aim for is not temporary support. It is the implementation of a "new social standard" where senior recruitment transcends the realm of social contribution and becomes a normal growth strategy for companies.
We will surely give shape to a "system where everyone can reconnect with society" and continue to create a future where age, as a number, does not limit an individual's potential.
