Many rural areas of Japan face problems of an ageing population and a shrinking working population. Since young people are able to migrate to urban areas in search of better job opportunities, the rural areas are left with a huge vacuum of human resources. However, a new concept that has slowly found its place on the market is the spare-time job matching services. These services provide employment for casual and/or short-term employment and are crucial to rural-based areas as they provide service to the area as well as employment during casual dates of the employee/employer.
What Is Spare Time Job Matching Services?
Spare time job matching services enable individuals, especially those from urban areas, to find short-term or pliable jobs in rural areas. Such jobs, for instance, include farmer’s jobs, including fruit or crop picking and numbering down to assistant jobs, such as assisting during festivals or managing small businesses. The idea is to meet deficiencies in the rural labour markets or in periods of high demand for workers or low local supply.

As it will be described by the different platforms and apps, searching for jobs that can be done in part-time basis is easy. These positions can be filled in their spare time, either as an addition to the work people already have or as an opportunity to find a new job in different regions of Japan.
In light of Japan’s demographic problems, spare-time job-matching services hold the potential to contribute more to the development of rural regions. These services offer flexibility and prospects for the workers in addition to solving the lack of labour, which jeopardises the viability of rural industries in Japan.
Looking at the long run it may act as a framework for other countries which are also grappling with the issues of rural abandonment. By offering people the chance to contribute to rural economies during their spare time, these job matching services create a win-win situation: workers get experience as well as some extra cash, and rural areas get the assistance they need to grow.
