Sukedachi Research Institute Cooperates with a Survey in the 'Construction Economic Report' Published by the Research Institute of Construction and Economy (RICE)

The think tank 'Sukedachi Research Institute,' operated by Sukedachi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter 'the Company'), which runs one of Japan's largest construction talent matching platforms, announces that it has cooperated by conducting a questionnaire survey and providing data for the investigative research in the 'Construction Economic Report' published by the Research Institute of Construction and Economy (hereinafter 'RICE'). ■Overview of Survey Cooperation The 'Construction Economic Report,' published annually by RICE, is a highly influential report within the industry that provides multifaceted analysis of construction investment outlooks and industry challenges. This time, Sukedachi Research Institute cooperated in a survey regarding the theme in the report: 'Understanding the actual status of employment liquidity and working styles of skilled construction workers.' We conducted a questionnaire utilizing the network of the 'Sukedachi' app, which has over 220,000 registered businesses, allowing us to reach craftspeople working on the frontlines—a demographic that was difficult to approach using conventional survey methods. Specifically, we investigated the actual conditions regarding the 'movement of employment' and 'movement of labor force' of frontline craftspeople and provided this as quantitative data. Within the report, we contributed to the analysis of the real working styles on site, including career realities such as 'wage fluctuations before and after changing jobs' and 'the relationship between the number of job changes and annual income,' as well as 'workload imbalances during peak and off-seasons' and 'the ratio of engaging in work for other peer companies during off-seasons.' ■Details of the Survey Results and Report The detailed results of this survey and the contents of the analysis can be viewed in the 'Construction Economic Report' published on the official RICE website. [Construction Economic Report (Japanese Economy and Public Investment)] URL: https://www.rice.or.jp/regular_report/construction_economic_report-html/ *The survey results and analysis contents we cooperated on are featured in sections such as 'Chapter 3: Current Status and Issues of Construction Industry Workers.' ■About the Research Institute of Construction and Economy (RICE) Established in 1982, RICE is a representative non-profit specialized research institution in Japan concerning construction economics and the construction industry.
