A discernible trend is gaining momentum in Japan, where the number of people over the age of 50 taking up resort jobs is significantly increasing. These individuals are utilizing their ample experience and skills, while some are seeking a change of pace or a more relaxed work environment post-retirement. This recent phenomenon is reshaping Japan's resort industry and workforce, also stimulating local economies in resort regions.

In Japan, traditionally, life after retirement was seen as a time for relaxation and leisure. However, recent trends show a shift with more retirees and elder citizens seeking employment opportunities, including resort work. This is seen as a way to stay active, both mentally and physically, while also contributing to society. This trend aligns with Japan's changing social values and the quest for a fulfilling life post-retirement.

In the US and EU, seasonal resort work is often undertaken by younger workers or students. However, in recent years, there has been an increased trend of older workers seeking part-time and seasonal jobs for similar reasons as in Japan, though it's less prevalent and certainly not as widespread.
