Howtelevision, Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Yosuke Otonari), which operates the career platform GaishiShukatsu.com, supporting students who aspire to challenge themselves globally, and the career support platform Liiga for young high-caliber professionals aiming to become global professionals, released a joint special feature article titled "How Long Will You Work?" (8 parts in total) on both websites on Monday, November 30, 2020.
As life is finite, careers eventually come to an end. But when is that? While acknowledging that "How long should one work?" is a question without a definitive answer, we deliberately delved into the "theory of retirement" for a happy life through an 8-part series.

*GaishiShukatsu.com and Liiga regularly publish joint special feature articles on both sites.
■ Planning Background
As life is finite, careers eventually come to an end. But when is that? Since the future cannot be predicted, there is no precise answer. However, in what is called the "100-year life era," job changes and side jobs have become commonplace, while traditional assumptions such as lifetime employment and retirement at age 60 are wavering. As over 70% of respondents in a member survey by GaishiShukatsu.com and Liiga answered that they "regularly think about how long they will work," it is also an era where people are compelled to proactively consider the end of their careers.
■ Article Structure
The series consists of 8 articles with the following structure:
