A graph showing how women and alternative energy will brighten Japan's future

A graph showing how women and alternative energy will brighten Japan's future
A long time ago, I came across an interesting graph in a magazine that I'd like to share with you.
The first is the indicator called "Maturity Assessment of Each Country."

Looking at this indicator, every time I go to Europe, I realize that the Nordic countries, including Germany and Austria,
It can be seen that the level of maturity is extremely high in all aspects.
Japan is also ranked quite high in most categories, but the only one that is overwhelmingly low is
The problem is the gender gap. As Motani wrote in "The True Nature of Deflation,"
I believe the only way for Japan to thrive in the future is for more women to enter the workforce.
In Northern Europe, many office workers finish work at 5 o'clock. In return, their wives
I work until 5 o'clock. And I seem to be working with great concentration until 5 o'clock.
I can see that in Northern Europe, where two people per household work a total of 2 hours, and in the United States, where one person per household works 16 hours a day,
Which country is more efficient, working 12 hours a day with concentration declining in the last few hours?
Is this okay? Moreover, it also deepens communication within the family.
I think this is one of the reasons why home environments in Scandinavia are so fulfilling.
The next topic was about alternative energy, which is a completely different field.
This is a graph showing the percentage of patents by country.

Alternative energy refers primarily to natural energy sources such as wind and solar power.
Looking at these patents, it appears that more than half of the alternative energy technology is in Japan.

But let's look at another table.

It will be an index that ranks the efforts being made toward alternative energy sources.
It didn't even make it into the top 10... This is what they call "a waste of a treasure."
On the contrary, there are still many people in the government and bureaucrats in Japan who are against natural energy.
Yes, there are. I really think it's a shame.
