What 靴製造 do
An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
仕事は次の工程に分かれている。「デザイン・設計工程」では靴型の甲部に紙やテープ紙を張り、それを展開して甲部パーツの型を作る。CAD（コンピュータ）を使って設計するところが増えている。それを受けて「裁断工程」では、油圧式裁断機を使って皮革を裁断する。「縫製工程」では、裁断されたパーツのふちをすいたり折り曲げたりした後、裏材を重ねてミシンで縫い合わせ甲部を作る。さらに、「釣り込み・底付け工程」では、釣込機で甲部を靴型に密着させ、底材料を接着剤で貼り付けるか、ミシンで縫い付ける。最後に、「仕上げ工程」で、靴底やかかとの不要な部分を機械で削り、仕上剤で化粧をして靴ができあがる。一人で複数の工程を受け持つ場合も多い。

What drives the annual growth rate
Projected pay = current pay × (1 + annual growth)^years. The annual growth rate starts from a base wage-growth rate and adds or subtracts labor demand (the job-openings-to-applicants ratio), wage momentum and AI replacement risk for each occupation. Projections are not guarantees. How it is calculated →

Will AI replace 靴製造? AI replacement risk
How AI is changing this job
A written analysis for this occupation is being prepared.
AI replacement risk compares the parts of a job that are easy to hand to AI or software (processing information, documentation, repetitive computer work) with the parts that are hard to automate (physical work, working closely with people, judgment in unpredictable settings), using the MHLW job tag survey on work activities, work context, skills and knowledge. The result is a relative position among all occupations in the country, scaled to 0–100%. Methodology →
Labor demand for 靴製造
A ratio above 1.0 means there are more job openings than applicants (a labor shortage). The 5- and 10-year figures are estimates from the openings ratio, wage momentum and AI replacement risk.
