The growing need to hire foreigners

Increasing labor shortage

Currently, labor shortages in Japan are occurring due to various factors such as the outflow of young people from rural areas to urban areas, the declining birthrate and aging population, and the bias toward popular industries and occupations. The number of companies that are profitable but go bankrupt due to labor shortages is increasing year by year, reaching 426 in 2019. With the declining birthrate, aging population, and population outflow to urban areas, the problem of labor shortage is likely to become even more serious in the future.

Hiring foreign workers

In recent years, the employment of foreign workers has been increasing as a way to deal with the labor shortage due to the declining birthrate and aging population . In addition, as the globalization of the economy progresses, there is a growing awareness that the power of foreign workers with different cultural backgrounds and knowledge will contribute to improving the competitiveness of companies and developing new markets.

Promoting corporate innovation

Since 2015, Japan has been amending the law to expand the quota for accepting foreign workers, which has contributed to an increase in the number of foreign workers. In other words, hiring excellent foreign workers not only solves the labor shortage, but also brings new perspectives and ideas and promotes corporate innovation. Additionally, foreign workers are deeply familiar with their home country’s language and culture, making them an important resource for companies expanding into new markets.

Employment of foreign workers on the rise

Their knowledge and experience will be of great help to companies in developing international business and promoting globalization. Employment of foreign workers is expected to continue to increase in the future.
