Last month, the number of "rested" people who did not work or look for jobs exceeded 2.44 million, the highest as of October.
It was on the decline after rapidly increasing through COVID-19, but it has been rising again since last year.
Resting population refers to those who do not engage in employment activities for no reason among the economically inactive population.
Unlike resting, unemployed people are classified as economically active people because they are looking for jobs.
The increase in the number of people in their 20s and 30s and 60s and older was particularly noticeable in the rest population announced this time.Why are you resting
?
The most common response was that it was difficult to find a job that people in their 20s or younger wanted.
In the rest of the age group, the answer that they are resting because they are not feeling well was ranked first.
However, there was no significant difference between the first and second-place answers for those in their 30s.
