It's serious enough to hire people for life, but even so, many companies still can't recruit people. Some people have been poached by foreign countries, while others are migrant workers. Faced with Japan's economic environment, they are unwilling to work in Japan.

According to a survey conducted by Imperial Data Bank, an authoritative research institution in Japan, 465 established enterprises closed down, closed down or dissolved in 20 18, up 0.9% year-on-year, and continued to grow for four consecutive years. This figure is the highest since 2000 after the financial tsunami in 2008 (closing at 430), the Great East Japan Earthquake (closing at 4 17) and the labor shortage in 20 16 (closing at 45 1 6).

Japan with an aging population

It is said that many hands make light work. Even we once advocated having more children because of low productivity and insufficient labor. Japan is now facing such a situation. The problem of aging population and declining birth rate is very serious, resulting in a decrease in the working population.

We used to worry that the only child needed two people to support eight people (two families), but now the Japanese may be suffering all this because their population is aging very seriously and the proportion of the elderly is very serious. Although these people occupy social resources, they cannot be transformed into labor.

Streets in Japan

In addition, Japan relies heavily on the labor of foreign migrant workers to some extent. The number of Japanese workers and foreign workers was as high as 1: 13. In other words, without 13 foreigners coming to work in Japan, many Japanese enterprises would not be able to operate normally.

It happens that the price level in Japan is very high, but the wage growth rate is very slow. The lifelong employment of many enterprises is not like a golden rice bowl, but more like a beggar's rice bowl, which makes people hungry.

Most convenience stores in Japan are staffed by foreigners.

The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's application for employment status of foreigners shows that as of 20 18 and 10, the number of foreign workers in Japan has increased by 14.2% over the previous year, reaching about1460,000, a record high.

According to nationality, China has the largest population, reaching 389,000, exceeding 1/4 of the total number of foreign workers. Followed by Vietnamese, reaching 3 17000.

Now, with the development of China's economy, more income can be earned at home, while the improvement of labor treatment in Japan is limited, so many people no longer go to work in Japan.
