Abstract
In recent years, the phenomenon of a decreasing population and an aging society has been seen in Japan. Nevertheless, private corporations-excepting agricultural business-throughout the country have expanded and developed. For example, the construction and food industries are increasing steadily.
I have investigated the agricultural careers of workers employed by private corporations in the agricultural business sector.
The results show that most construction workers examined in the study were born into farming families, and workers in the food industry acquired experience in agriculture when they studied it in high school and college.
When I questioned them about their future goals, only thirty percent of the workers believed that they would be able to find employment in agriculture.
In order to solve the above problem, we must consider their support system and the inhabitants recept into their hopes of agricultural business.
