Hit a record high
On July 24, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan announced the results of a population dynamics survey based on the Basic Residents' Register (equivalent to the household register).
Data shows that as of January 1, 2024, the total population of Japan is 121,561,801, a decrease of 861,237 from the previous year, which has been declining for 15 consecutive years, and the year-on-year decline has hit a new high since the survey began in 1968.
At the same time, the number of foreigners in Japan increased by 329,535 compared with the previous year, reaching a total of 3,323,374, breaking the 3 million mark for the first time.
In addition, among the foreigners who have moved to Japan, the working-age population accounts for as high as 85.22%, totaling 298,382 people.
This phenomenon highlights Japan's reliance on foreign labor in the context of the increasing problems of low birth rate and aging population, and also reflects that now is a good time to move to Japan.
At present, business management visas and highly skilled personnel visas are the main ways to move to Japan. If you are interested in applying, please consult Xingyunhai International.
