2. Reform to Expand Utilization of IT’ will be formulated to ensure
usage of IT in various sectors.
By early 2014, the government is expected to formulate
policies to promote the utilization of big-data technologies to
store public information.
These government measures will open up new opportunities for
service providers thus, creating a spike in demand for IT service
professionals. TCS aims to double its revenues in Japan from
about USD 0.5 million to USD 1 billion and plans to setup a
development center, considering the macro- economic policy
changes that will take place in the country. Infosys is also planning
to setup a center in Japan. Major service providers such as NEC,
Fujitsu and IBM are also expected to ramp up their workforce in
the country.
In addition, Abenomics aims at developing the research
ecosystem within universities. The government aims to fund and
support about 1,500 full-time research positions within universities
by 2016. It also aims to attract additional 30,000 foreign students
(20 percent increase) in 2015, and target about 300,000 foreign
students in 2020, twice the current figures. This is expected to
contribute to aging workforce in the country.
To encourage movement of highly skilled foreign nationals, the
government plans to create preferential immigration policies for
foreign nationals. In addition, by the end of 2013, the government
also plans to review the current annual income criteria for
certifying overseas personnel. Moreover, the period of stay for
attaining permanent resident status is expected to be reduced
from current 5 years to 3 years. This is expected to attract about
100,000 skilled engineers and researchers in the county by 2020.
The government also plans to set up special economic zones
known as ‘Abenomics Zones’ in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya in
order to create a business friendly ecosystem for foreign
companies. To attract expatriate talent, these zones will also have
direct connectivity from Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, better medical
services and international schools to provide education.
About two-thirds of Japanese women leave the workforce post
maternity. To include more women in the workforce, government
plans to fund initiative that includes re-learning programs post
maternity and develop internships programs for homemakers. By
2015, this is expected to increase percentage of women in mid
3. and senior level roles to 10 percent (from current 5 percent) and to
30 percent by 2020.
However, majority of these policies and reforms planned are
provisional and implementations are yet to commence. Currently,
companies face various challenges in terms of rigid employment
system and high taxes.
