The Growth of the Resignation Agency Market

Resignation agencies, or Taishoku Daikou companies, provide a service that helps employees resign from their jobs without having to confront their employers directly.
These agencies handle all resignation procedures on behalf of employees, with typical service fees ranging from 20,000 to 50,000 yen depending on the complexity of the case.
Due to economic shifts and changing work dynamics, the resignation agency market continues to expand, especially among younger workers aged 20–30.
Despite some criticism—where some view resignation agencies as a way for employees to avoid responsibility—many people support these services because they reduce emotional distress and provide workers with a smoother transition to new opportunities.
Many Japanese employees feel ashamed or afraid of quitting because of the country’s corporate culture, which emphasizes loyalty and dedication to employers.
