The Japanese government will help some 1 million people, including non-regular workers, develop skills and find new jobs as part of measures to invest more in human resources. This is based on a draft plan aimed at realising a new form of capitalism advocated by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida pledged in his policy speech upon convening the ordinary Diet session Monday to not only handle the pandemic, but also double “investment in human resources.”
