Digital Shift: Japanese Recruiter Turns to India Amid IT Engineer Shortage

A Worsening Labor Shortage Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide has made the digitization of society a priority. However, efforts to accelerate the process, including Suga’s plan to establish a new digital agency, face a serious challenge: not enough IT engineers. An April 2019 survey by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry found that demand for IT workers in Japan would exceed supply by 300,000 in 2020, a shortfall that is expected to swell to 450,000 by 2030. Japanese recruiters looking to make up the shortage of IT workers in Japan are increasingly turning overseas. However, Kimura Yūichi, the diversity head in the e-marketing department of Zenken, an IT and language education firm, insists that more needs to be done to secure global talent to meet rising needs. “Japan’s employment market remains relatively insular,” he says. “This has hampered attempts to fully tap into the broader pool of foreign engineers.”

When the winds of change blow hard, the best build windmills while the rest build shelters. With the Covidian wind blowing very hard, top engineering schools in North America like Stanford or Cornell waived the mandatory ACT or SAT scores. They still managed to attract some of the best minds to pursue engineering degree programmes at the undergraduate level. Can we think of such a sweeping policy decision to make JEE (Advanced) optional? Definitely not, as there are policy firewalls sheltering the JEE(Advanced) to prove a non-existent hyper-competency amongst high school kids. Does that mean post-Covidian policymaking in undergraduate engineering admissions has not kick-started since the announcement of NEP 2020? The answer is NO.
