Yes, this sounds a lot like the problem's I see today. Only where I am from it is even worse than in the USA. We call the "baby-boomers" the "lid generation" because they put a lid to good jobs (I don't know if this makes sense translated to English but I hope you get the idea).

Thankfully where I live now society is still organised in a way that young people can access good jobs and career prospects.

In Japan it will work out eventually, just because there are very few young people so there's a constant labor shortage, and they'll need everyone doing everything, it'll just take 15-20 years to get there.

It works alright now I think. There is a culture of trusting employees here, companies will hire people with little experience and train them, and they trust these young people will be great employees one day. Most Japanese people look for jobs a year or two before leaving university and the companies offer them jobs two years in advance. It's great.

In Spain it seems you need a masters and 10 years of experience just to have the shittiest job in the company. But of course if no one gives you any experience you can't get experience so...
