TL;DR
Yami baito, or “dark part-time jobs,” are illegal activities disguised as legitimate part-time work, often targeting young people through social media. These jobs, which range from fraud to robbery, lure individuals with promises of quick money, exploiting their financial struggles and lack of employment opportunities. The Japanese government is implementing stricter regulations on job posting platforms and considering allowing investigators to pose as job applicants to combat this growing issue.
