Mynavi Releases 'Survey on Middle-aged/Senior Part-time Workers and Younger Supervisors'

Mynavi Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Shunsuke Awai) has announced the results of its 'Survey on Middle-aged/Senior Part-time Workers and Younger Supervisors,' conducted among 569 men and women aged 40 to 65 who currently make a living through part-time work. The survey defines an age difference of five years or more as 'older' or 'younger.' Key findings include that 42.4% of respondents have a direct supervisor who is at least five years younger. This trend shifts after the age of 50, where 51.8% of respondents report having a younger supervisor, surpassing those with older supervisors. While respondents noted that younger supervisors are easier to talk to and consult with, 37.9% reported dissatisfaction, citing difficulties in gauging distance and differences in values. The survey highlights that the 'employment ice age' generation, in particular, faces challenges in feeling recognized for their work under younger leadership.
