Bucking the trend: Young Japanese are heading back to the fields
The neon lights of Tokyo...
For decades, rapidly growing Asian economies have encouraged young workers to leave the fields and flock to the cities. But now many young Japanese are bucking the trend, abandoning the office and heading back to the fields. Economic stagnation means millions can't find a permanent job. New recruits are being welcomed by Japanese farmers, whose average age is more than 65.
Nghĩa trong bài:
flock to: đổ về, dồn về
bucking the trend: đi ngược lại xu hướng đó
heading back: quay trở lại
stagnation: tình trạng trì trệ
permanent job: công việc ổn định.
