The objective of this paper is to elucidate problems concerning job-seeking ac¬tivities and the relationships between the family, universities and employment that form the background to them, focusing on the university graduates who are Japan's new recruits, and to explore the future direction of university poli¬cy. The first half of this paper introduces the current situation, in which educa¬tional reforms and job-seeking activities are giving rise to confusion on uni¬versity campuses, and points out the fact that behind this lies the relationship between companies and universities, which has been structuralized on an eco¬nomically rational basis (the Japanese-style employment system). Based on the awareness of this current situation, the latter half of the paper asks "what is it about Japanese universities that makes them characteristically Japanese?" The characteristic attributes of Japanese universities that are unusual from the per¬spective of the rest of the world are "the requirement to be 18," "the emphasis on graduation" and "the expectation that parents bear the financial burden"; these three attributes are strongly affected by the distinctive nature of the typi¬cal Japanese family (the Japanese-style family) and go hand-in-hand with each other. In other words, Japanese universities and new recruits are shackled by the Japanese-style family and Japanese-style employment, and are completely trapped by them. Finally, this paper considers the future direction of university policy, in light of the structural relationship between the family, universities and employment.
