1 The number of foreign workers in Japan is increasing. According to the Ministry of
Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW), the number was nearly 1.3 million in 2018. The
government's policy is to accept more foreign workers in order to *ease labor
shortages. In fact, a new visa status was created in April 2019. The status allows a
5 maximum five-year *residency to foreigners who have specific skills in 14 industries
including nursing and food service. The new status provides the labor market with
(1)
another 345,000 foreign workers over a five-year period.

2 MHLW also reported that in 2018, 20 percent of foreign workers were (2)
interns. They came to Japan to learn specific skills under a national training program.
10 The program aims to contribute to developing countries by transferring job skills.
These skills include manufacturing foods and clothes, and constructing buildings. The
interns come from countries such as Vietnam, China, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
They are allowed to stay in Japan for up to five years.
Some employers in the
agricultural and fishery *sectors say that their businesses might fail without access to
15 such workers.
3 Nowadays, accepting more foreign workers for a longer time span is under debate.
If technical interns get the new status after acquiring a specific skill, they can be
permitted to stay for up to 10 years. However, Professor Kiyoto Tanno of Tokyo
Metropolitan University says that this is still rather short. He warns that as long as
20 they are considered *temporary workers, the skills they can learn are limited. Thus,
many foreign workers will continue to fill the shortages of low-*wage workers.
Actually, the poor working conditions for interns, such as low wages, long working
hours, and poor safety measures have already become a serious problem. Tanno
suggests that Japan should allow foreign workers to stay longer so that they can learn
more advanced skills. (Otherwise, in the future, they may no longer choose Japan as a
work destination.
