大卒３年内の離職率、３４．９％　１６年ぶり高水準―厚労省

　厚生労働省は２５日、２０２１年春に大学を卒業し、就職後３年以内に離職した人の割合は前年比２．６ポイント上昇の３４．９％だったと発表した。上昇は３年連続で、０５年春卒（３５．９％）以来、１６年ぶりの高い水準となった。就職時はコロナ禍で求人が減少していたが、経済活動の正常化が進む中で求人が増え、転職活動が活発化したとみられる。
　離職率は、１０年春卒から２０年春卒まで３１～３２％台で推移していた。２１年春卒は、就職１年目と２年目の離職率がともに１２．３％と、前年（１年目は１０．６％、２年目は１１．３％）から上昇した。（2024/10/25-14:19）

The rate of workers who graduated from universities in spring 2021 and left their first jobs within three years hit a 16-year high in Japan, the labor ministry said Friday.
   The turnover rate rose 2.6 points from a year earlier to 34.9 pct, up for the third consecutive year. It reached the highest level since 35.9 pct for 2005 graduates.
   When the 2021 graduates were entering the job market, job vacancies were limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But employment opportunities later expanded thanks to the normalization of the economy, leading to an increase in activities to switch jobs.
   The rate of workers who graduated in spring 2010-2020 and quit their first jobs within three years moved around 31-32 pct.
   For the 2021 graduates, the turnover was 12.3 pct in both of the first and second years of first employment, up from 10.6 pct in the first year and 11.3 pct in the second year for 2020 graduates.
