According to the Cabinet Office, the package aims to increase the number of young university faculty members under the age of 2025 by 40% nationwide in 1, and will allocate operating expenses grants to national universities working to secure posts for young researchers. ..We will also establish a system to support challenging research centered on young researchers for up to 10 years.

　In order to welcome excellent researchers with world-class treatment, we aim to raise salaries by using a mixed salary with operating expenses subsidies and external funds, and secure financial resources to secure posts for young researchers.

　For students in the doctoral program, we aim to be able to receive the amount equivalent to living expenses as soon as about 5% of those who go on to higher education. By 2025, the company will strive to hire about 65% more doctoral degree holders in science than ever before, and will focus on creating an environment where young people can concentrate on their research.

　While the decline in research capabilities of Japanese universities has become a major issue, such as the decline in the global share of the number of published papers, the rate of advancement from master's programs to doctoral programs has declined, the employment rate of doctoral students has stagnated, and young research with fixed terms has been completed. The environment surrounding researchers is steadily deteriorating, such as the increase in the number of researchers.The purpose of the package is to improve these points, and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said, "The future of Japan, a science and technology nation, depends on young people. I want to mobilize all measures to create an environment where young people can devote themselves to research."
