Japanese semiconductor companies generally face serious talent shortages

Update time : 2022-06-30 14:08:58

On June 26, it was reported that Japan is facing a serious shortage of semiconductor talents. Toshiba, Sony and other Japan's largest semiconductor manufacturers have warned that the government's move to revitalize the domestic chip industry is threatened by a shortage of engineers.

Amid an expected labor shortage, Japan is trying to increase semiconductor investment to strengthen economic security against chip shortages caused by supply disruptions due to the coronavirus.
In an appeal to Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry last month, an electronics industry body said the next five years to 2030 were the "last and biggest opportunity" for Japan's semiconductor industry to regain its footing after years of losing global market share.
The Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industry Association said the industry's success depends on getting enough talent to innovate and operate its chip factories. It is estimated that over the next 10 years, eight major producers will need to hire about 35,000 engineers to keep up with the investment.
"People often say that semiconductors are lacking, but engineers are the most lacking," said Hideki Wakabayashi, head of the policy proposal working group of the Semiconductor Committee of the Japan Semiconductor Industry Association and a professor at Tokyo University of Science.
