Press Release Analysis: Conditions for Regional Migration

Telerimo Soken, a web media outlet operated by LASSIC Inc., conducted a 'Survey on Regional Migration and Remote Work in Rural Areas' targeting 1,005 working professionals with remote work experience. The most selected condition for realizing regional migration was 'a job that allows for full remote work' at 38.5%. Analysis by work style revealed that while 55.4% of full remote workers prioritized this factor, 'salary equivalent to urban areas' (31.5%) was the top priority for full-time office workers, showing a split in priorities depending on current working conditions.

### Summary of Findings - **Top Condition:** 'Full remote work' (38.5%) led the second-place 'salary equivalent to urban areas' (28.2%) by 10.3 percentage points. - **Work Style Differences:** Full remote and hybrid workers prioritized 'full remote work' (55.4%, 39.5%), while full-time office workers prioritized 'salary equivalent to urban areas' (31.5%). - **Age-based Trends:** The refusal to consider migration under any conditions increased with age, from 8.7% in their 20s to 27.4% in their 60s. However, those selecting 'full remote work' as a condition remained consistent across all ages at around 33-41%.
