点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Relocation of youths for employment from local to urban areas can be an opportunity or trouble. Youths with low education have stability in urban areas when they find jobs using the traditional Japanese system from school to work. If they quit their jobs, however, they go back to their home towns and have unsteady careers there. Meanwhile, youths who start to work in non-regular employment after school continue to be in precarious positions depending a great deal on economic trends and business strategy. Local friends and the family home are important resources for the youths who were in urban areas and are going back to their hometowns. In other words, we can suppose that people who have little resources tend to fall into difficulties.
