  • A Mediator Between Young People and Local Companies to Save Our Town
    A Mediator Between Young People and Local Companies to Save Our Town 3103 Mimi Iwata Introduction A decline in population is one of the biggest problems in Japan, especially in the countryside. Minamiuonuma city, located in the southern part of Niigata prefecture, is greatly influenced by this phenomenon. It is inevitable for Minamiuonuma city to overcome this problem. In Minamiuonuma city, the number of young people is so few. The city hall has been carrying out some new policies that encourage young generation to come back, but they have not resulted well yet. So we need something new to address this problem. Problems The problem in Minamiuonuma city is the lack of young human resources. It leads to the decline in its industry and citizens will have difficulty living in, eventually. It will be difficult to improve the city’s overall industry. According to the survey of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (2017), the population of Minamiuonuma city decreased by 11.0% from 2000 to 2015. Seirou-machi, located in Niigata city, increased by 5.0%. Seirou-machi has the highest rate of increase in the population in Niigata prefecture. The population of 15 to 34 year-olds dexreased by 13% in Minamiuonuma city and has not so changed in Seirou-machi. It can be said that there is a big gap between Minamiuonuma city and Seirou-machi even if these two cities are located in the same prefecture. So we have to diminish the gap and solve the lack of young people. Solutions To solve this situation, I suggest introducing a UTA system, which stands for Uonuma Tactic Association.
