Recent studies show that Japan is being swept by a wave of population shortages. And now, Japan is inviting talents from all over the world with unprecedented openness.
01
Foreign labor shortage
or will approach one million
Tokyo AFP recently reported, a famous Japanese rice fruit company's foreign executives accepted in an interview, emphasized that many companies are currently facing a tight human resources situation. In order to cope with the current difficulties, Japan should actively open its arms to a wide range of overseas elite talent.
A recent study supports the executive's call.
According to the report, Japan's aging trend is becoming more pronounced, and the total population is expected to plummet to about 87 million in the next 50 years, shrinking by nearly one-third.
Taking population trends and GDP growth into account, Japan's demand for foreign laborers is expected to grow steadily to 6.88 million by 2040. However, it is expected that the number of foreign workers will only reach 5.91 million by then, leaving a labor supply gap of nearly one million.

Japan's Green Light

As a matter of fact, Japan, as a non-traditional immigrant country, has always been strict about naturalization and green card applications.
However, in recent years, in the face of shrinking population and the double pressure of labor demand, Japan in the relevant policies continue to make adjustments, the strength of which can be described as a “green light”.

For high-end talents, Japan's implementation of the “special high talent system”, academic research or professional and technical personnel with an annual income of 20 million yen, and to meet the conditions of education or work experience, management personnel with an annual income of 40 million yen and a certain amount of work experience, the fastest one year to obtain the right of permanent residence.
For skilled interns, the Japanese government reformed the “Skilled Internship System” this year and introduced the “Inclusion Kitakyushu System”. Under the new system, interns will initially stay for three years, and those who meet the requirements can apply for a five-year Specific Skill 1 visa, and subsequently have the opportunity to upgrade to a Specific Skill 2 visa, which has no period of stay.
In addition, the Japanese government also plans to introduce an overseas investor visa system, where overseas investors who invest a certain amount of money in a specific financial and asset utilization area will be expected to directly obtain permanent residency.
