日本における労働力の減少その解決策として労働市場は高齢者や女性就労、外国人労働者の就労促進

This study examines the Japanese workforce problems from the labor market and economic perspectives. It also looks at how the changing economy and demography, including the decreasing workforce and the rapid aging of the population, has affected the labor market. Aging is an immediate personal issue and a salient factor in crucial public policies, such as pensions, health, and long-term care. Japan has recorded an increase in its elderly population but a decrease in the working population. Thus, Japan’s economy will be greatly affected in the shortest amount of time due to this large increase in the elderly population and a decrease in the working population, along with a longer life expectancy. To overcome these problems, Japan must hire immigrants, but the number of immigrants is extremely low and has the lowest immigration rate. This rapid depletion of the working population in Japan has the least potential to support its older adults and contribute financial burden to the government. However, this study examines the implications of the Japanese government policies vis-à-vis the adoption of the elderly, women workforce, and immigrants in the labor market

日本の人的資源開発における高等教育へのコロナ影響と革新的な戦略

This paper is a study of higher education for human resource development (HRD), how it has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and is being attention through innovative strategies in Japan. The expansion of compulsory education and a rise in high-school and university enrollment rates have contributed to economic growth in the postwar period. HRD is essential to Japan’s national economic plan and policies despite the country’s lack of natural resources. HRD imparts attitudes, knowledge, sensitivities, and skills though education. Educational institutions have well developed, and developing, curriculums, teaching, learning and research which provide (new) employees with everything they need for their careers and life in general. However, the country has been facing and continues to faces several challenges. First, Japan has a declining 18 years old population, and second, is struggling with student recruitment, with nearly 40 percent of universities and colleges being unable to reach their capacities or quotas (teiin), a situation different from that of many other countries. Under these circumstances, the country needs useful and capable human resources with fundamental knowledge and skills who can lead the society. The Japanese government have introduced several reforms to find solutions to tackle these problems. This paper is a study of Japan’s higher education system and a discussion on Education Development, Trends, Issues, Reforms and Innovative Strategies in Education for Human Resources that have surfaced out of the COVID-19 pandemic

Sustainability and Challenges of Electrical Vehicles in Asia

The automobile industry is experiencing a technological revolution with the rise of electric drive vehicles (EDVs), which are challenging their internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) counterparts. Due to the problems caused by the gasoline engine on the environment and people, the automotive industry has turned again to the electrical powered vehicle. There is growing environmental awareness, increased innovation, growing consumer acceptance, government support of infrastructure and financial subsidies, and investments by OEMs (original equipment manufacturer), and therefore an increasing demand for EDVs. But there are still many issues with EDVs that need to be resolved in the near future. In addition, EDVs have a promising future, although it’s going to be a long journey to get close to ICEVs, which have existed for more than a century. This study explains how the challenges facing EDVs will be solved and how they will be made sustainable in Asia and the world. The world’s largest EDV auto market is in Asia, specifically China, Japan, South Korea, India and some others southeast Asian countries and regions although the automobile industry worldwide has been providing consumers with a broad range of EDVs, Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), Battery Electric Vehicles (EVs), Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) and others. This paper demonstrates some of the advantages and disadvantages of EVs and gives a brief view of the technological development of these cars
