Revising analog regulations Initiatives by Local Governments

In Digital Agency, we are working on a review of "analog regulations" in laws and ordinances and other areas of the country to realize a digital society.
"Analog regulations" are rules (regulations) that are premised on analog methods (such as visual confirmation, participation in on-site and face-to-face training, and posting of official certificates in writing). Such "analog regulations" are one of the factors that hinder digitalisation and the utilization of 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 to promote digitalisation in the entire society and realize productivity improvement and labor substitution through the utilization of digital technology. To this end, it is important to develop regulatory environments that adapt to the progress of technology. As part of this, it is necessary to implement "revising analog regulations" initiatives to make existing systems and laws and ordinances, etc., capable of utilizing digital technology.
In particular, as the population decreases and the birthrate decreases and the population ages rapidly in rural areas, it is necessary to resolve regional labor shortages and to maintain and strengthen regional functions, including administrative services closely related to the lives of residents, even under limited human resources. Therefore, it is extremely important to work on revising analog regulations in rural areas.

In order to support the efforts of local governments in revising analog regulations, this page summarizes the national government's efforts and information related to revising analog regulations. It also contains information on the support provided by Digital Agency to promote the efforts of local governments. Please make use of this page.
