The employment environment is undergoing a transformation on several fronts. In preparation for the retirement of baby boomers from 2007， over half of companies surveyed have looked at or begun to aggressively recruit younger workers (under age 35). A system or practice to promote non-regular employees to regular status exists at 41% of companies， and many companies are increasing the number of promotions. Measures to expand employment of women are steadily progressing centered around meeting child care concerns. Meanwhile， only13.5% of companies are unconcerned about the amended law to stabilize employment of older workers. As for the rest， the overwhelming choice is re-employment.
