Answer

Employers do not have to hire employees for their entire life. In Japan, companies hired people until they retired. However, the age was already over. Employees can easily quit jobs, and employers can easily fire them. There are three reasons below for my statement.

The primary reason is that people who lost a job can easily find a new job. There are so many people who have to quite the job by their own reason. For example, a person has to be in the hospital by his/her illness. After getting better, the person needs find a new job. He/she can apply a new post easily because there are many vacant posts in the companies. These posts are available by the previous people having changed the companies. As a result, the companies need to find new people. However, it is impossible if nobody changes companies. There is no post for outsiders in the company. This situation would be extremely bad for the people who must quit the job.

Also, employees can get a chance by changing companies. People who have excellent ability need a chance. If the company can not pull the ability out, the people should change it. People should find a new place to evaluate them more. They will be happier, and will work harder.

Moreover, employers can manage their companies smoothly. Companies do not always have benefits. Sometimes their businesses have to be smaller. In that case, they need to cut some employees down. Otherwise, the companies themselves will be bankrupt. All of the employees will lose the job. Employers have to avoid the situation. Firing employees looks bad, but the employers have to decide it by their responsibility.

In sum, employers do not have to hire people until they retire. The society does not need this system any more. Employees can change companies easily as well as employers can fire them. If everyone do that, the society will work better.
