## Chapter 1, Section 2: Regenerating Local Community “Ties” via ICT

## 1 : Changes in and Current Status of Local Community “Ties”

☐ Changes in and diversification of the nuclear family as well as the life stages people experience have diminished the opportunities people have to interact and connect.

☐ Just under 90% of people surveyed are not involved in an NPO or other volunteer activity. Over half of those surveyed express a desire to volunteer; however, there are limited opportunities and little information.

○ A declining and aging population has meant that rural areas are facing depopulation, leaving only the rapidly graying cities to keep watch over the outlying regions.

○ There is a growing promise for regenerating “Ties” through ICT communication tools, such as social media.

## 2 : Regenerating “Ties” via the Use of Social Media

○ Internet usage amongst those over 65 is low, standing at 36.9% (overall average is 78%).

○ The greater the age of respondent, the less likely they are to use social media (blogs, SNS, micro-blogs, etc.).

○ Social media is highly effective at revitalizing “Family and Relatives Ties”, “Ties with Friends and Acquaintances”, “Intergenerational Ties” and “Workplace Ties”. The greater the age of the respondent, the greater the effect on revitalizing ties; thus, promotion of Internet usage amongst the elderly is an important issue.

## Chapter 1, Section 3: Using ICT to Support Social Participation by Every Member of Society

## 1 : Realizing a Sustainable Society via Telework

The corporate rate of adoption for telework is 19.0% (as of December 31, 2009). Achieving increasingly diverse work situations and greater work-life balance is inextricably linked to greater corporate efficiency and productivity and builds a mutually beneficial relationship for companies and employees.

A workable solution for companies facing Japan’s declining labor force is to make greater use of the skills women, the elderly and the socially/mentally challenged have to offer. If telework is used to provide employment opportunities to the latent workforce that has kept from working due to such reasons as a lack of suitable employment in the region or the demands of homemaking and childrearing, the labor force could be increased by roughly 1.5 million people.

Corporate Adoption of Telework

Aim of Adopting Telework

Population Forecast for All of Japan

The whole of Japanese society needs to be reminded of what is required in order to become a sustainable society, and it needs to work towards this. "A society where the elderly can continue to work"; "a society where even those in rural areas can find suitable employment"; "a society which places less of a burden on the environment"

## Chapter 2: Environmental Burden Reduction and Local Community Revitalization via Green ICT
## CO $ _{2} $ Emissions Reduction through Green ICT and Related Policies on Other Countries

○ Green ICT reduces CO $ _{2} $ emissions by roughly 125 million tons, i.e., 10% of total CO $ _{2} $ emissions for 1990.

○ As part of their national strategies, other countries are developing green ICT-related policies which provide ongoing support for CO $ _{2} $ reduction efforts by the private sector.

Effect of Green ICT on CO₂ Reductions

• Maximum CO $ _{2} $ reductions expected by 2020 from the application of green ICT (“Green by ICT”) are around 150 million tons

• By promoting further environmental-friendliness of ICT itself (“Green of ICT”), CO $ _{2} $ emissions by ICT devices, etc., can be suppressed by around 30 million tons – the same level as 2012

Green ICT-related Policies in Other Countries

USA	Green New Deal Policy: - Intended to “create green jobs” - Aims to invest $150 billion over 10 years in renewable energy and create 5 million green jobs

4: Japan’s Low Level of IT Capital Growth

In an international comparison of ten major countries, Japan has had the lowest level of capital growth over the past decade. Japan’s growth has been half of the United States (which has grown roughly four times in amount) and Great Britain (grown roughly 4.5 times in amount). Japan is particularly stagnant in ICT utilization sectors, such as “Retail”, “Individual services”, “Agriculture, forestry and fisheries”, “Healthcare and social welfare” and “Education”.

## Shift in Industry-specific ICT Investment (Capital Growth)
## Chapter 3, Section 1: Current Status of Japan’s Information and Communications Industry and Contributing to Economic Growth via the Thorough Application of ICT 5: Economic Growth via ICT Utilization Promotion and Accelerated Investment in Digitalization

☐ Outside of the finance and insurance sectors, between 40 – 60% of companies engage in no ICT education. “ICT education implementation” and “CIO establishment” have positive effects on labor productivity.

○ Assuming accelerated investment in digitization and the promotion of ICT utilization, real GDP growth can be raised by about 0.8% in 2020.

Chapter 3, Section 2: Bolstering the Innovations which Underlie ICT and Competitiveness in Japan’s Global Deployment of ICT

1: Issues for Japanese Innovation are “Service Development Capability”, “Utilizability”, and “Human Resources Cultivatability”

○ Japan’s innovation environment ranks highly in “(2) Sophistication of products and services”.

○ However, compared with the U.S. and others, Japan ranks low in new service-producing “(1) Sustainable adaptability to change”, ICT utilization-promoting “(3) Maturity of business infrastructure” and highly talented human resources-cultivating “(5) Business adaptability of science and technology”. As a result, this lowers Japan’s innovation capability. Strengthening this is an issue to be undertaken for the future.

○ Sweden and the U.S. maintain well-balanced, high levels in all innovation environment factors.
