Human Capital

With the rapid decline in birthrate and aging population, leading to a population decrease and a growing shortage of labor, coupled with the significant transformation of the economy due to new technologies such as ICT and AI, For Japan, a resource-poor country, to maintain and strengthen its economic vitality and innovation and increase its growth potential while leveraging its strengths, the public and private sectors must focus on increasing both the amount and efficiency in utilization of human capital as key factors.
We conduct multifaceted and comprehensive research on the redesign of employment and labor systems suitable for the AI era, the promotion of human capital management, the formation of AI-complementary abilities and skills, and the necessary education and training reforms, in addition to addressing gender disparities in STEM fields. Strategies to enhance worker well-being through health-focused management practices and the application of human capital management to the public sector are also explored utilizing unique data sets.
