摘要：As of January 2011, the number of employed persons in Japan was 44.44 million. Of this number, 14.4%, or 6.41 million people, separated from their jobs during 2011.1The fact that 14.4% of employed persons left their jobs in the course of one year supports the perception that Japan is a country in which few people leave their jobs, even when com-pared to other developed countries. The general view concerning Japan's labor market is one that sees a low unemploy-ment rate and stable employment. Even as stability in the labor market fluctuates in line with economic fortunes, this view may still be valid in the case of Japan. Nonetheless, the number of job changers in Japan's labor market is growing com-pared to past years, and even large enterprises, which previously only hired new school graduates, have become actively involved in mid-career hiring in recent years. Moreover, dismissals by enterprises, and particularly small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), happen more frequently than is thought. This manuscript presents the Labour Force Su rvey (Statistics Bureau, Ministry of In-ternal Affairs and Communications [MIC]) and Survey on Employment Trends (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare [MHLW]), which are th e main statistical surveys that provide clues to understanding job turnover and movement in Japan
