博士人材の就職支援へ手引案　能力に見合う初任給設定―経産・文科省

　経済産業省と文部科学省は２１日、博士号を取得した専門人材の就職を支援するための検討会で、企業や大学に向けて作成した手引の骨子案を提示した。高い能力を持つ博士人材に見合った初任給の設定や、昇格・異動といったキャリア形成の道筋の例示を求めている。
　日本企業では、海外に比べて博士人材の活用が十分に進んでいない。高い専門性を持つ人材が活躍しやすい環境を整え、産業競争力の強化を後押しする考えだ。経産・文科両省は来春にも手引を取りまとめ、全国の企業や大学に配布する。（2024/11/21-17:38）

Japan's economy and education ministries have drafted a guide for companies and universities to help people with doctoral degrees find jobs, it was learned Thursday.
   The ministries presented the draft at a meeting of a related government panel on the day.
   The draft calls for setting starting salaries at levels suitable for highly skilled doctorate holders and providing examples of career development paths for such personnel.
   As Japanese companies have lagged behind foreign firms in the use of doctorate holders, the ministries hope that creating an environment that helps high-level experts develop successful careers will boost the competitiveness of domestic industries.
   The ministries plan to finalize the guide by as early as next spring and distribute it to companies and universities across the country.
