The reasons for the high employment rate of Japanese graduates can be attributed to the following factors:

1. education system: Japan's education system focuses on cultivating students' practical skills and professional quality, so that graduates can adapt to the job market. Schools usually provide career guidance and internship opportunities to help students prepare for employment.

2. Corporate culture: Japanese companies have a long-term and stable employment model, which is called "lifelong employment". This culture makes graduates concentrate on preparing for employment and job-seeking activities during their college years, and enterprises tend to recruit new graduates.

3. Recruitment system: Japan has a unique recruitment system called "employment activity" or "internal customization". Most Japanese companies will carry out recruitment activities during students' college years, and send employment notices to suitable candidates in advance. This system ensures that many graduates find jobs before graduating from college.

4. Social pressure: In Japanese society, employment is regarded as an important social responsibility and personal achievement. Graduates face the pressure of family, society and self-expectation, which urges them to actively seek employment opportunities and prepare for their future.
