A Japanese government survey has found that the number of people who became part-time workers after graduating from school last year nearly doubled from the year before.
The labor ministry surveyed the employment situation of more than 880,000 people who graduated from high schools, vocational schools and colleges in the first half of last year.
The results show that 177,000 people, or about 20 percent, landed part-time instead of full-time, regular jobs. This is an increase by 84 percent from the same period the previous year.
About 30,000 new graduates from colleges and graduate schools settled for part-time jobs. This is more than double the figure from a year earlier.
Labor ministry officials say that the severe employment situation is causing even college graduates to face difficulty in finding regular jobs.
