This is historically the reason software engineering in Japan has lagged and there's such a talent shortage (leading companies like mine to hire mostly foreign software engineers). I've heard it's changing, but it'll take a long time to catch up.

When I was working for Microsoft China, many of our foreign engineers were Korean and Japanese, who were in China for the higher paychecks.
