We are looking for investigators for the census in Reiwa 7 (2025)

With the deadline of October 1, 2025, the census will be conducted nationwide.
The census is the country's most important statistical survey, which is conducted once every five years for all people and households living in Japan.
The results of the survey will be used to plan various local measures, such as welfare measures, living environment improvement, and disaster countermeasures.
Since Seya Ward requires about 600 national census personnel to conduct the survey, we are looking for people who can engage in the survey.

Investigators who visit the target households to explain the survey and distribute, collect, and inspect questionnaires when conducting the census.
A briefing session will be held before the start of the survey to explain the details of the work, so even first-timers can conduct research activities with confidence.
We are also waiting for retired, self-employed, part-time, part-time, and students.
