It has been pointed out that the research capabilities and international competitiveness of Japanese universities have been declining in recent years, and that the background to this is the decline in financial support since national universities became national university corporations with the same framework as incorporated administrative agencies. ..Japan's economy has fallen into a difficult situation that can be said to be one of the most developed countries, and the government's finances are becoming more serious due to the expansion of debt.
