Neo Career Expands Support System in Gifu Area with "Nice! Kaigo" to Strengthen Nursing Care Human Resources Support in Tokai Region

Neo Career Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ryoichi Nishizawa), a comprehensive human resources service provider, has opened a Gifu branch for "Nice! Kaigo," its human resources dispatch and job placement service specializing in nursing care. This expansion aims to strengthen nursing care human resources support in the Tokai region. The new branch, located in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, will provide support to nursing care facilities and job seekers mainly in Gifu Prefecture. The Tokai region has previously been served primarily in Shizuoka, Aichi, and Mie, and this new branch will further enhance the nursing care human resources support system in the area.
Background and Purpose: Gifu Prefecture is experiencing simultaneous population decline and aging, making the securing of nursing care personnel a critical regional issue. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' 2020 National Census, approximately one in three residents (30.4%) were aged 65 or older in 2020. Furthermore, the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research's "Future Population Projections by Region in Japan (2023 Estimate)" predicts that the total population of Gifu Prefecture will decrease from approximately 1.98 million in 2020 to 1.82 million in 2030, 1.65 million in 2040, and 1.47 million in 2050. This represents a decrease of over 500,000 people (approximately 26%) over 30 years, a faster pace than the national average of approximately 17%. Conversely, the aging population is expected to continue, with residents aged 65 or older projected to reach approximately 40% of the prefecture's population by 2050. Additionally, those aged 75 or older are expected to increase, accounting for approximately one in four residents. These demographic changes are anticipated to lead to a further increase in demand for nursing care services. In light of this background, the company established the Gifu branch to address the shortage of nursing care personnel in Gifu Prefecture and strengthen the nursing care human resources support system in the Tokai region.
Future Outlook: The company will provide community-based human resources dispatch and placement services to nursing care facilities in Gifu Prefecture, supporting flexible personnel recruitment tailored to each facility's needs, while also expanding employment options for job seekers in the region. Concurrently, efforts will be made to create employment opportunities for inexperienced individuals and those aiming to acquire qualifications, contributing to the stable securing of nursing care personnel in the region.
