I don't remember what was the source of these survey results, but was surprised at the recent survey showing that the largest number of young Japanese people who just started working for a company showed the preference for the stability of employment: working for large companies under the life-time employment system. Under such economic environments, even big companies don't guarantee the stability of the employment, but for young "salaried people" they believe the bigger the company they work for, the more stable conditions will be.
