This study proposes some employment support measures for female graduates of colleges and universities, drawn from the results of 1) analysis of the current state of youth unemployment and their potential as human capital, 2) analysis of female graduates’ participation in employment preparation activities, 3) analysis of the effects of employment preparation activities on the opportunities for a regular and “good” job. In 2012, the number of unemployed young women reached 2,787,000. This study categorizes them into three groups: 1) job seekers (125,000), 2) job preparers who are not seeking a job at present time but preparing to enter the labor market (203,000); and 3) people who are neither a job seeker nor a job preparer (2,459,000). During the past decade, the number of young job preparers has increased, whereas that of job seekers has decreased. The former accounted for 70% of the latter in 2003, but the figure reached 150% in 2012. This result implies that youth employment policy needs to put more weight on young job preparers than ever before. (The rest is omitted)
