Why It Matters

田中健二為了解其自閉症譜系障礙兒子敦的過去工作經歷與壓力,於65歲開始透過兼職軟體Timee體驗多種工作。敦曾因溝通困難與衝動行為在學校受支持,但後因信用卡債務惡化導致身心負擔過重,在大學期間因毆打父親而退學,後經集體宿舍安置與就業支援逐漸穩定。

〔財經頻道/綜合報導〕居住在千葉縣經營自營事業的田中健二(67歲,化名),65歲時透過兼職軟體「Timee」體驗了倉庫輕體力勞動、農場工作與清潔工等十餘種兼職。他選擇做兼職不只是為了賺錢,而是想親身了解患有自閉症譜系障礙(ASD)的兒子敦(化名)過去的工作經歷,以及自己過去可能忽略的壓力。

日媒報導,敦從小有溝通困難與衝動行為,但在寄宿制中學與老師的愛心支持下順利畢業,並憑藉滿分的數學成績,考上東京都市圈一所為發育障礙學生提供支持的大學。當時田中高興地訂製米餅分發給親友,以為生活終於穩定。在大學的全面支援下,敦加入社團並開始兼職,田中也鼓勵他「盡可能多工作」。然而升上大三後,敦突然無法獲得學分而留級,並在2020年2月大五時因毆打父親而被送醫退學。當時敦責怪父親:「爸爸讓我努力打工,結果壓力太大,把我的生活搞得一團糟。」

請繼續往下閱讀...

事實上,背後隱藏著債務與惡性循環的真相。敦透露,大學朋友教他使用信用卡,他先借了1萬日圓(約新台幣2000元)買鞋,隨後財務狀況惡化,開始使用多張信用卡取現,債務迅速飆升至20萬日圓(約新台幣4萬)以上。為了還債,敦開始加夜班打工,常因熬夜在課堂上睡著而掛科留級。增加兼職加重了他的身心負擔,焦慮迫使他就醫並增加鎮靜劑與安眠藥劑量,最終失去控制被強制住院。

隨著敦搬進集體宿舍、情緒逐漸穩定,並轉入函授大學與B類就業支援機構工作後,田中得以回顧往事。

為了理解兒子的感受與過往被忽略的事,田中於2024年底開始嘗試零工網站。他先註冊兒子大學時使用過的零工網站,卻連續3次申請遭拒,認為可能與自己65歲有關。之後,他改用另一個需要填寫自我介紹的零工平台,因提到自己是摔角和柔道黑帶,接到卸貨工作,但實際體驗後認為對年長者太過辛苦,只做一次便放棄。

後來,田中透過電視廣告認識Timee並註冊。與其他平台不同,他表示Timee沒有依年齡、殘疾等特徵篩選申請人的系統,申請後會進行職缺配對。此後一年多,他陸續前往10多個工作地點,主要從事輕體力勞動。

透過1次次實際工作,田中開始重新理解兒子曾經面對的工作環境,也看到零散工作世界裡,像敦這樣的身心障礙者工作並不是罕見的事。
