일본의 ‘조기취업 우울증’과 ‘입사강요 괴롭힘’ [유레카]

A growing concern in Japan is the phenomenon of 'early employment depression,' where new graduates experience significant mental health struggles shortly after starting their careers. This is often exacerbated by 'forced hiring harassment,' a practice where employees feel pressured into accepting jobs or continuing in roles they are unhappy with. These issues highlight a challenging transition period for young professionals entering the Japanese workforce, leading to increased stress and psychological distress.

This situation raises important questions about workplace culture and mental health support for young people entering the workforce in Japan.
