There's a growing trend of unfilled tech-related positions in the Japanese civil service. Despite numerous initiatives to attract individuals to such roles, the government has seen an increase in these vacancies. The reasons behind this unfilled quota include lack of interest, perceived lack of opportunities, and high requirements of the tech-oriented government posts. The government is now fast-tracking plans to make these positions more appealing.

In Japan, becoming a government/civil employee is a highly competitive job field believed to provide stability and good benefits. However, with the increasing dominance of tech industries, the government has struggled to attract tech-savvy talents, resulting in these unfulfilled vacancies. The Japanese government's efforts to cope with this are highly scrutinized due to the potential long-term impacts on the country's technological advancement and competitiveness.

In the US, there is also a demand for tech-oriented professionals in the public sector. However, the private tech sector's lucrative financial prospects often overshadow public sector opportunities. Meanwhile, in the EU, similar situations have been addressed by forming partnerships with educational institutions to create talent pipelines or with tech firms for public-private partnerships.
