The blog describes a growing shortage of engineers in Japan resulting from so-called “rikei banare”, or “flight from science”. Young people, the article explains, are more interested nowadays with fields like finance or medicine, or creative careers like the arts, then they are with engineering. While the shortage has been recognized for decades, only recently have companies been starting to feel its consequences, with one estimate putting the shortage of engineers at almost half a million.
In my opinion, in every fileds, technician who is the specialist is lack for demand. Education is essencial for preparing future.

We have experienced same situation here in Korea. To supply right resources in IT area in Korea, it is the time to consider outsourcing IT people from other countries. One of the possible and practical approach to deal with this matter, we need to standardize the development processes and prepare for the division of work internationally. If we do that, we would focus more high valuable work items such as requirement gathering, analysis and design of the information system while the works' of developers or coders would be performed by IT people outside Korea causing cost down as additional benefits.
