Review of analog regulations Initiatives by Local Governments

Last Updated:

Digital Agency is working to revise analog regulations in laws and regulations and elsewhere in Japan toward the realization of a digital society.
"Analog regulations" are rules (regulations) that assume analog methods (such as visual confirmation, attendance at on-site or face-to-face training, and posting of official certificates, etc. in writing). These "analog regulations" are one of the factors that hinder the use of digitalisation and digital technology. As the population declines, the birthrate declines, and the population ages, and labor shortages are expected to increase in all industries and workplaces in the future, it is essential for Japan to promote the digitalisation of society as a whole and realize the improvement of productivity and the replacement of labor through the use of digital technology. To this end, it is important to develop regulatory environments that adapt to the progress of technology (technology). As part of this, it is necessary to take measures for "laws and regulations" to make existing systems and review of analog regulations available to digital technology.
In particular, as the population is rapidly declining and aging with fewer children in rural areas, it is necessary to resolve local labor shortages and maintain and strengthen local functions into the future, including administrative services closely related to the lives of residents, even with limited human resources. Therefore, it is extremely important to work on review of analog regulations in rural areas.

In order to support the efforts of local governments in review of analog regulations, this page provides a collection of information related to the efforts of the national government and review of analog regulations. It also provides information on support implemented by Digital Agency to promote the efforts of local governments, so please make use of it.
