Delhi Technological University Innovation and Incubation Foundation (DTU-IIF) has created more than 1,000 jobs through start-ups.
The availability of jobs in Japan improved for the first time in three years in fiscal 2021, owing to the gradual easing of the downside effects of the coronavirus pandemic, a government report said on Tuesday.
For the year through March, the job-to-applicant ratio edged up 0.06 points to 1.16, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare said.
This equates to 116 jobs available for every 100 people seeking them.
