Construction Fair 2020 in Chubu (Part 2): CCUS Edition | Career Development

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

This is a follow-up to the recent Construction Fair 2020 in Chubu.

CCUS

This is probably the type of device that will be used at major construction sites in the future.

You can count them by tapping your card here.

The photo above shows a terminal designed for outdoor use on-site.

CCUS

It looks like this is the one for indoor use.

Apparently, if you tap this once to enter the site, the government charges you 10 yen lol

The system changed this October, and the price was raised from 3 yen to 10 yen.

Back when it was 3 yen, the cost of materials at the site was 3 yen in and 3 yen out, for a total of 6 yen per day. (Or so I thought.)

Since this entry for 10 yen says “per day,” I assumed it meant 10 yen per day, but it actually says “per use.”

Since CCUS is used when you swipe your card, if this counts as using the service, then...

I wonder if there's a 10-yen charge every time I enter and leave the site.

Spending 20 yen a day??

Card

The average number of construction workers in fiscal year Heisei 28 was 4.92 million.

Suppose half of these people (2.46 million) used the CCUS (Construction Career Up System) to enter and exit construction sites.

Does the government receive 49,200,000 yen (49.2 million) per day? (Assuming 20 yen is spent on each transaction)

If you multiply the above figure by the number of days in a month (20), the total charge comes to 984 million yen...

 

Apparently, this system lets you rate craftsmen and boost your income, but for now, just by signing up and showing up at job sites, I’m losing money every day, lol.

After all, it costs 400 yen per person every month.

If the general contractor has to foot the bill for this, there’s absolutely no doubt that the burden will be passed down to the subcontractors! I mean, this is a given, right? lol

For now, am I the only one who feels like things are heading in the direction of lower income?

So, who stands to benefit the most from this system??

 

The integration of the My Number and driver's license has been announced.

It looks like this is expected to happen in 2026 or later.

Isn't it the same with CCUS? Am I the only one who thinks it would be fine to combine it with a driver's license or My Number?

It looks like we'll have to carry around a lot of government-issued cards in Japan from now on, which is a bit of a hassle.

 

I wonder if they ever have rare gacha events or something like that~??

"No in-app purchases today!" or something like that?? lol

 

See you later.
