Introduction

Amid major trends such as economic globalization， deregulation， and the IT revolution， the optimal allocation of human resources presents important challenges. Indeed， despite the prolonged severity of the employment scene， 9.6% of all employed persons in 1999 (6.23 million out of 64.62 million per-sons) expressed the desire to change jobs， of which 3.8% (2.46 million) initiated job searches. This trend is expected to continue growing (Figure 1).

Drawing on our study conducted on behalf of the Ministry of Labor， entitled Survey of the Diversification of Hiring Strategies for White-Collar Workers， this paper examines job market issues from two viewpoints: the policies and responses of companies toward mid-career hiring， and the awareness and actions of individuals regarding job changing.
