japan ict
Abstract:
Taking into account the developments of ICT in recent years, a
lot of countries are dealing with the preparation of statistics on ICT.
In Japan, the Basic Law on Formation of an Advanced Information and
Telecommunications Network Society (Basic Law on IT) was enforced on
January 6, 2001, in which the Government is obliged to prepare official
statistics related to ICT. In Japan, at least 41 kinds of official
statistical surveys, including questions related to ICT, have been
conducted in the past five years. Their main purpose, survey items and
survey methods are various and different from each other. To grasp the
new development in IT as a whole, "IT Indicators in Japan", which is a
new compendium on ICT, was compiled in 2001. Also, "Information and
Communications in Japan", which is a white paper published in 2001,
presented basic data on the extent to which IT has permeated the
economic activity and people's lives. In addition, the 11th revision of
the Japan Standard Industrial Classification (JSIC) was published by the
Statistical Standards Department, Statistics Bureau, Ministry of Public
Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications (MPHPT) in March
2002 in response to the change of economy and society including the
development of ICT. The Working Group on Indicators for the Information
Society of OECD has been working for several years in order to prepare
internationally comparable and statistically measurable ICT indicators
and related ICT statistics. In this paper, an overview of the present
situation of Japanese official statistics related to ICT is given with
some analysis. In addition, some problems are raised which should be
considered from the viewpoint of the necessity and measurability and so
on for the appropriate preparation of ICT indicators and
e-commerce-related statistics. "IT; Information Technology" and "ICT;
Information and Communications Technology" are often used without any
distinction. "ICT" is used in this paper except where "IT" is used as a
proper noun, as it is considered almost the same as "IT". The views
expressed herein are those of the author, and are not necessarily those
of the Statistical Standards Department or any other Japanese government
authorities.
