일본의 융합기술 활용에서 나타난 일본문화 특징 연구 -미래투자전략2017-Society 5.0 실현을 향한 변혁을 중심으로-

Abstract

The Japanese Government emphasized five themes for future investment strategy: the health and life extension sector, the mobility revolution realization sector, the next generation of supply chains sector, the pleasant infrastructure sector, the regional composition sector, and the FinTech sector. These sectors are all intended to minimize and/or eliminate obstacles in our daily lives caused by the low birth rate and shrinking labor force of on an aging society. The reason the Japanese government focused on such trivial and mundane issues of daily life is because of the social and cultural characteristics of Japanese people, who are naturally drawn to, sympathetic to, and tend to enjoy their ordinary daily lives more than they would something intangible, unrealistic, and grand. We can make an educated guess that if Japan manages to successfully solve the problem by focusing solely on such daily issues without pursuing self-interest, it will once again succeed in impressing the rest of the world.
