Japanese women are less represented in public sector employmentthan in other OECD countries
Women represented 41.9% of the total public sector workforce in 2013 in Japan. This is below the OECD average (58.0% in 2013), and the lowest among the OECD countries for which data are available. However, it has made some progress compared to 41.1% in 2009, showing a greater rate of increase than for the OECD as a whole (57.4% in 2009). The recent “Womenomics” initiative launched by Prime Minister Mr Abe, aims to create more favourable conditions for women’s participation in the Japanese labour market.
Chapter 3: Public employment and compensation
Share of public sector employment filled by women and men
The Japanese central government has many large ICT projectswhich cost over USD 10 million each
Japan is one of the OECD countries with the most large scale public sector ICT projects, with 70 ICT projects in 2014 with a total project value greater than USD 10 million. Given the greater complexity and potential failure rate of large ICT projects, this suggests that good ICT project management and governance of ICT projects is even more important in Japan than in other countries. Japan’s large scale investment on ICT projects is encouraged by “IT Strategy: Declaration to be the World’s Most Advanced IT Nation (2013-2020)” under the leadership of the Government CIO.
Chapter 10: Digital government
Central government ICT projects with a total project value greater than USD 10 million
Japanese people live longer than in any other OECD countries,even as per capita spending on health care remains close to the OECD average
Japan has the highest life expectancy at birth (83.2 years in 2012) in the OECD, and it is increasing every year. The level of health spending per person (3 535 USD (PPP)) is only marginally above the OECD av-erage (3 484 USD (PPP)). In general, there is a positive relationship between total health expenditure per person and life expectancy. In Japan, life expectancy is higher than what could be predicted by its level of health expenditure per capita.

GOVERNMENT OUTPUTS AND OUTCOMES
Notes Fiscal balance as reported in the System of National Accounts (SNA) framework, also referred to as net lending (+) or net borrowing (-) of government, is calculated as total government revenues minus total government expenditures. Structural fiscal balance, or underlying balance, represents the fiscal balance adjusted for the state of the economic cycle (as measured by the output gap which resulted as the dif ference between actual and potential GDP) and one-off fiscal operations. Government gross debt is reported according to the SNA definition, which dif fers from the definition applied under the Maastricht Treaty. It is defined as all liabilities that require payment or payments of interest or principal by the debtor to the creditor at a date or dates in the future. All debt instruments are liabilities, but some liabilities such as shares, equity and financial derivatives are not debt.

Government at a Glance 2015With a focus on public administration, OECD Government at a Glance 2015 provides readers with a dashboard of key indicators assembled with the
goal of contributing to the analysis and international comparison of public sector performance across OECD countries. Indicators on public finances
and employment are provided alongside composite indexes summarising aspects of public management policies, and indicators on services to
citizens in health care, education, and justice. Government at a Glance 2015 also includes indicators on key governance and public management
issues, such as regulatory management, budgeting practices and procedures, public sector integrity, public procurement and core government
results in terms of trust in institutions, income redistribution and efficiency and cost-effectiveness of governments.
