In Japan, for example, young people who should be entering the workforce and maximizing their productivity are instead taking low-paying part-time jobs that require few skills and produce little. Some are not working at all. As a result, they have little income and little capacity to consume. But consumer spending is one of the key drivers of a nation's economic growth.
以日本為例，原本應投入就業市場、發揮最高生產力的年輕人，卻自願從事低技能、低生產力、低報酬的臨時工作，甚至不工作，下場就是沒有足夠收入、消費能力受到壓抑，而民間消費卻是支撐一國經濟成長的活水源頭。
