Ensuring Economic Inclusion through Connecting Lagging Neighborhoods to Jobs

There have been few companies offering jobs in the Airin district other than constructors since the 1980s. Under the Nishinari Special District Vision, the reconstruction of the Airin District Comprehensive Center gave the opportunity to encourage companies to offer jobs other than casual construction jobs. The Nishinari Labor Welfare Center within the Airin District Comprehensive Center supervises job recruiters. The Nishinari Labor Welfare Center aims to give guidance to such informal recruiters and formalize them. This has increased the job spectrum for the residents and day laborers and has further enhanced the local economy and status of the neighborhood. 

- Renewal of an old district center to serve as a job placement office

- Cooperation with labor welfare office to create more formal opportunities for unstable job labors

Airin district had been a hub for day laborers in the past, which has merely been reduced to construction jobs lately, in both formal and informal sector. It was realized that for the development and progress of district and ward, economic inclusion through job creation is key.
