コンテンツ産業の実態調査　契約適正化へ指針―政府

　政府は１７日、新しい資本主義実現会議（議長・岸田文雄首相）を首相官邸で開き、コンテンツ産業の取引慣行について実態を調査し、契約の適正化に向け指針を作成する方針を示した。アニメ、ゲームなど、日本が強みを持つコンテンツ産業の成長や海外展開の加速を支援するため、クリエーター（作り手）が働きやすい環境を整備する。まず音楽や放送番組の制作現場での課題の洗い出しや解消を進める。
　政府が６月ごろまとめる「新しい資本主義」実行計画の改定にこうした方針を反映させる。音楽や放送番組の実態調査は公正取引委員会が今月から実施し、年内をめどに結果を公表する。（2024/04/17-20:29）

The Japanese government said Wednesday that it plans to survey trade practices in the creative sector to consider devising guidelines for appropriate contracts.
   The move is designed to improve the working environment for creators of anime, video games and other content as the government seeks to promote the growth and overseas expansion of the creative sector in which Japan is strong.
   The government will first focus on the production of music and broadcast programs. It plans to complete a survey of the area by the end of the year in collaboration with the Fair Trade Commission.
   The government said the source of the creative industry's competitiveness lies with creators.
   It noted a need to resolve examples of talent agencies using their advantageous position to conclude contracts with creators that violate the antimonopoly law, and of creators being put at a disadvantage in terms of pay.
