Popis: 本稿では,「ゆとり教育」が現在の大卒若年労働者のキャリア形成に与える影響について検証している。WEB調査から得られた3094名のデータを分析した結果,「ゆとり教育」を熱心に受け,それが今の仕事や生活に役立っていると認識しているほど,現職で力を発揮し,頻繁な転職は抑制されている。しかし「ゆとり世代」の人々は,退職には抵抗がなかった。また,「ゆとり教育」は,社会人になってからの学び活動を促進する効果を持つ。よりレベルの高い学び活動に関しては,「ゆとり世代」の人々にのみ「ゆとり教育」の効果が見られた。さらに,「ゆとり教育」の効果をコントロールしても,「ゆとり世代」は高い有能感を示していた。「ゆとり教育」に適応できた者は,日本型の企業組織にもなじみ,かつ柔軟なキャリア形成も可能であるが,適応できなかった者は,組織人としても未熟であり,柔軟なキャリア形成にも難があるという二極化が見られた。ゆえに,「ゆとり世代」を一括りにすることには問題があり,「ゆとり教育」の功罪が明らかになった。
This study examines the influence of yutori education ("pressure-free" education) on the career development of young, college-educated workers. Data gathered from 3094 respondents to an online survey revealed that students who had eagerly engaged with yutori education and considered it useful to their current lives and careers exhibited greater strength in their current positions and did not experience frequent changes in occupation. However, people from the yutori generation did not appear reluctant to retire. Moreover, yutori education had a positive effect on promoting learning activities after entry into the workforce. Workers with yutori education experience were drawn to higher-level learning activities and displayed a high sense of competence in their professional roles. Polarization was noted between those who were able to adapt to yutori education and those who could not adapt. Workers who could adapt fit in well within Japanesestyle business organizations and had opportunities for more flexible career development. Those who were unable to adapt were unskilled as organization employees and encountered difficulties in flexible career development. Therefore, the study clarifies the pros and cons of yutori education and the problems presented by treating the yutori generation as a monolithic group.
