問題１ 次の英文の要約を 200 字以内の日本語で書きなさい。

A recent tally by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications
shows that internal migration into Tokyo topped outflow by 5,433, the lowest
figure on record. In particular, people leaving the capital's central 23 wards
outnumbered those moving in by more than some 15,000. This is surely a signthat the concentration of the population in Tokyo is beginning to reverse, andwe hope the trend continues.
Before the coronavirus took hold of the country, the pace of depopulation inregional Japan and population increase in Tokyo was speeding up. In 2019,
net internal migration into the capital was about 80,000. But in 2020, the firstyear of the pandemic, that figure dropped to around 30,000. The trend only
quickened in 2021.
Correcting the one-way flow of people into Tokyo must be addressed for thesake of crisis management -- such as of natural disasters -- and maintaining
regional societies. The national government has tried to spur "localrevitalization," but can point to no obvious successes.
The coronavirus has fundamentally altered the state of play. Factors
including deep job cuts in Tokyo's restaurant and service sector, the growth oftelework, and the capital's persistently high housing costs appear to bedriving the change.
However, it's unclear whether the shifting migration trend will continue.
Last year, over 80,000 more people moved into the Tokyo region -- the capitalplus the neighboring prefectures of Kanagawa, Chiba and Saitama -- thanmoved out. If the pandemic is brought to heel, the flow of people into Tokyo
could well resume.
To make sure this "goodbye Tokyo" trend is not merely temporary, there
needs to be an environment created that encourages people to depart.
Using remote work to cut back on live appearances at the office would makeit easier for employees to live outside the Tokyo region and only commute inby bullet train from time to time. Starting in April, internet giant Yahoo－1－Japan Corp. will begin allowing its staff to live anywhere in the country. Morecompanies should be introducing similar systems paving the way for theirworkers to move without getting transferred.
Local government initiatives to secure jobs in their jurisdictions, and dispel
inbound residents' anxieties about starting life in a new place, are alsoindispensable. For example, Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, is offering a menu ofshort-stay options including work experience programs tailored to theinterests of people pondering a move. Sano, Tochigi Prefecture, is recruiting
new residents with offers of training to carry on the city's famed "Sano ramen"
noodles.
Nearly half of people in their 20s currently living in Tokyo's 23 wards who
responded to a Cabinet Office online survey said that they were interested inmoving. We should not nip these shifting desires in the bud, but rather
cultivate them carefully until they bloom.
