自 20 世纪 90 年代以来，日本高等教育系统一直在努力应对大学适龄人口的下降。由于老龄化而导致的整体消费市场的预期萎缩也给日本企业在日本以外的全球市场拓展业务带来了巨大压力。在这种情况下，严重依赖本国语言和文化的日本大学面临着视野和运作国际化的压力。然而，人才流失是一个缺乏积极讨论的话题，部分原因是日本学生持续的内向型偏好，其目标是日本公司内的传统职业流动性。
The Japanese higher education system has struggled with a demographic decline of the university-age population since the 1990s. The expected shrinkage of the overall consumer market due to ageing also significantly pressures Japanese enterprises to expand business in the global market outside Japan. Under these conditions, Japanese universities, heavily reliant on the national language and culture, are facing pressure to internationalise their outlook and operations. However, brain drain is a topic lacking in active discussion, partly because of the continuing inward-oriented preferences of Japanese students, which is aimed towards traditional career mobility within Japanese companies.
