Inside Japan’s New Immigration Era
With its population shrinking and its labor force aging, Japan is turning to foreign workers in record numbers. From Toyota City to factory floors across the country, immigration is testing how much a traditional society can evolve without losing its identity.

Imagine living in a 99% Japanese country and being mad because you saw a white person. Japan is Americas colony anyway.
"will introducing new people to trash work life balance that prevents most drives to have children help Japan's disappearing population?"
Magic 8 ball says "naw"
Solution is not immigration. Solution is incrasing birth rate. Soon eventually you won't have any immigrants because the other nations are also declining in terms of their population
They are going to get immigrant indigestion and fatigue just like everywhere else.
Every developed, prosperous and peaceful nation will be replaced, that's clearly the goal
Very biased reporting. Look up Sanseito, its ascension, and Japanese protests against immigration.
Japan has missed the boat on migration. No one from any part of the world except africa will be willing to go there. There is not enough money. Sure they have quality of life but not enough money for immigration
There is a perception that some individuals seek dental extractions from low-income male Vietnamese workers, or exploit female workers for sexual purposes. All the recordings were viewed from Vietnam. Some observers have criticized the behavior of certain U.S. citizens and their allies. Despite this, when visitors come to Vietnam, they are welcomed.
I am those Immigrants worker in Japan. I work as caregiver in rural, almost remote, northeast village. The crisis is so severe, while my company open vacancy for 10 or more worker, only 2 Japanese come, old worker on their 50s. The rest was handle by young immigrants. There is no way this harsh low paid Job will attract already diminished population. Almost all factory and low paid vacant job here recruiting Immigrants instead.
Good riddance to these people – never apologized for what they did to China and other Asian countries during World War 2.
It's really a sad fact but the parties denying immigration completely are emerging here in Japan despite the fact that we can't survive with out relying on foreign workers.
I don't mean limitless or illegal immigrations should be accepted (those have to be punished), but we Japanese have to realize that the only ONE way we can survive is maintaining good relations with foreigners.
I really respect those from other countries who have determined to come to our country so that they can find new great opportunities.
If you're a person from overseas and feeling isolated, please understand that people like me who love foreigners DEFINITELY exist and want to support people like you.
Indians can help.
What happened to the Japanese robots that were supposed to do all of the manual labor and take care of the elderly? Was that all just an anime fantasy?
Let Japan be a warning sing for the western far rights
Muslims and Indians can help
Get rid of the bs feminists and they will be fine. These people ruin everything, even relationships
Always remember that the most important law in the world is the law of natural selection. Nature will deal with Japan appropriately.
Good on Japan. This western obsession with fake "growth" will be its downfall.
Not everything is about money
Too many laws favouring women and being biased against teenage boys & men are driving the people apart and is contributing to declining birth-rates in the majority of countries all over the world…
Forget immigration and go with robots. Far fewer cultural problems, robots get Japanese programming.
JAPAN IS NOT A COUNTRY OF IMMIGRANTS
Let each country have their own identity.
Japan has spoken with their new prime minister.
This is genocidal propaganda and the people who paid for it to be made know what they are doing.
Japanese need to lower working hours. Young people are so exhausted from work, they don't have the energy to go out
Mass Immigration kills culture. Japan needs immigration however must do it in a way where it is controlled.
Japan must be destroyed for what they did to us. Open the borders!
Having your currency devalue against the USD by 50% in 3 months is pretty destabilizing
Japan can only take a certain amount of people from somewhere else before it turns into that place.
Do not invite immigrants only to hate them later on. Choose to whither and die with "honor" instead.
The LDP is the problem but its always easier to blame the foreigner.
A country is more than just an economic zone. Japan should stay Japanese so that U can enjoy my anime untainted even after 20 years
Japanese already starting to get pissed at too many tourist, and tourist r temporary and actually spend money. Imagine how piss they will be if they start letting lots of immigrants in, good luck to u Japan
6:15 forced labour Japan
