Japan Invites 820,000 Nigerians, Other Foreign Workers To Tackle Labour Shortage by AmazingGenius: 7:17pm On Apr 04 |
The Japanese government has disclose a plan to welcome up to 820,000 foreigners in the transportation and logistics sectors under its skilled worker visa over the next five years which is more than double the previous estimation for the five years. The country aims to alleviate the shortage of drivers by extending their stay of up to five years and to revise current regulations to facilitate the acceptance of skilled workers in the newly added sectors. During a meeting ahead of the cabinet decision, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi requested relevant ministers to, “make preparations to accept (the foreign workers) without delay and to make efforts to realize an inclusive society.” This cabinet decision to expand the eligible industries under the Specified Skilled Worker No. 1 visa to 16, is the first expansion since the program’s inception in 2019. Demand for Foreign Labour Japan’s demand for foreign labor has intensified due to factors such as a declining birthrate and significant shortages in transportation and logistics sectors, which are expected to worsen with the implementation of new overtime regulations for drivers starting in April, known as the “2024 problem.” Under the expanded program, skilled foreigners will be recruited as drivers in the road transportation sector, including buses, taxis, and trucks, by certified companies. Language proficiency requirements, particularly for drivers of buses and taxis who interact with passengers, include passing the N3 level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. In the railway sector, skilled workers will be engaged in roles such as train car manufacturing, track maintenance, and operation as drivers, conductors, and station staff. Additionally, operations related to textiles, iron and steel, and printing in the manufacturing industry have been included in the program. Foreigners holding the No. 1 visa must demonstrate professional and Japanese language skills, while the No. 2 visa allows for unlimited renewals and potential permanent residency, enabling workers to bring their families to Japan. The government’s move to expand the skilled worker visa program coincides with efforts to overhaul the foreign trainee program, aiming to address issues such as labor rights violations and unpaid wages. The new program will facilitate trainees’ transition to the Specified Skilled Worker No. 1 visa by allowing them to switch workplaces within the same industry under specific conditions while acquiring necessary skills. https://www.intelregion.com/jobs/japan-invites-820000-nigerians-other-foreign-workers-to-tackle-labour-shortage/ https://www.legit.ng/business-economy/money/1586199-japan-invites-nigerians-foreign-workers-battles-labour-shortages/#:~:text=The%20Japanese%20government%20has%20disclosed,vital%20industries%20in%20the%20country. https://businessday.ng/world/article/japan-opens-door-to-foreign-workers-to-address-labor-shortages/

Problem is going to be the language. Japanese is a very difficult but not impossible to learn and what makes matters worse is the systems of handwriting and then the concept of keigo. Necessary for someone interacting with customers Looks like the Japanese population issues is finally forcing them to take in immigrants. Japan is a bit of a racist country though. Even to white people. 10 Likes |

Naija no invite their own? I thought they reduced unemployment rate from 35% to 4%? To think NbS or whatever actually came out and said unemployment rate in Nigeria is 4%, wow. Wicked leaders and supporters Yet when you drive everyday, you see destitution and poverty. Able bodied men sitting under trees from morning to night in multitudes, yet we have lower unemployment rates than European countries according to Agbado stats. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Japan or American business owners? Mtcheeeew Majority of the USA business production factories are outside USA because they can't afford to pay the USA labour. The Japan's economy is fair better for their citizens to take the factory jobs that pay with peanuts.

Validated: Japanese and Hong Kong employers pay handsomely. I am writing from experience. They don't think like the rest of Asians who always want to use people and pay them peanuts. Those two places are the America of Asia. The only problem here is that going to Japan to work won't be easy because they will expect you to pass their language test; a language nobody else speaks but only them. @LordIsaac 7 Likes |

The happening countries in the world always have blacks - Nigeria, Jamaica, US, UK, France, Canada, South Africa, Ghana, Brazil. Blacks bring VIBES.
