Japan’s economy shrinks at record pace as pandemic wipes out ‘Abenomics’ gains

(REUTERS) – Japan was hit by its biggest economic contraction on record in the second quarter as the coronavirus pandemic crushed consumption and exports, keeping policymakers under pressure for bolder action to prevent a deeper recession.

The third straight quarter of declines knocked the size of real gross domestic product (GDP) to decade-low levels, wiping out the benefits brought by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s “Abenomics” stimulus policies deployed in late 2012.

While the economy is emerging from the doldrums after lockdowns were lifted in late May, many analysts expect any rebound in the current quarter to be modest as a renewed rise in infections keep consumers’ purse-strings tight.

“The big decline can be explained by the decrease in consumption and exports,” said Takeshi Minami, chief economist at Norinchukin Research Institute.

“I expect growth to turn positive in the July-September quarter. But globally, the rebound is sluggish everywhere except for China.”

The world’s third-largest economy shrank an annualised 27.8% in April-June, government data showed on Monday, marking the biggest decline since comparable data became available in 1980 and slightly bigger than a median market forecast for a 27.2% drop.

While the contraction was smaller than a 32.9% decrease in the United States, it was much bigger than a 17.8% fall Japan suffered in the first quarter of 2009, when the collapse of Lehman Brothers jolted global financial markets.

The size of Japan’s real GDP shrank to 485 trillion yen, the lowest since April-June 2011, when Japan was still suffering from two decades of deflation and economic stagnation.

Information Technology is currently a booming sector which not only offers a great range of opportunities careers, but it is also expected to grow significantly in the short term.
Furthermore, people with jobs in information technology are likely to earn a decent wage, probably far more than the median salary.
IT job titles may differ substantially from one company to another. Nevertheless, the work they implied might be the same: using computers, software, networks, servers, and other technology to manage and store data. Therefore, computer technicians may be qualified for many different roles, as well as having a strong employment prospect.

Regarding the educational field, some positions entail a four-year college degree. For others, a two-year degree and an internship maybe enough to be hired or get an entry level job
