Abstract
The aim of this study was to verify the issues of
companies employing elderly people aged 66 and
over. From January to March 2018, we conducted a
questionnaire survey to grasp the actual conditions
and intentions of companies in Tokyo for employing
elderly people recently, as well as the merits and
problems that have emerged, and 660 companies
answered (response rate: 22.0%). From the results,
transport industry and medical and nursing care
businesses were active in new employment of the
elderly, while telecommunication industry and
financial industry were passive. In addition,
compared to companies employing elderly people
actively (CA), companies employing elderly people
passively (CP) regarded an increase in personnel
expenses and the hindering of employment of young
people as problems resulting from recently
employing older people. On the other hand, CA
regarded health management and physical fitness
as the problems. Incidentally, a few number of CA
and CP regarded intergenerational friction as a
problem, but there was no significant difference
between them.
