Why not source from other East Asian or Southeast Asian countries? Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, mainland China, Thailand, Singapore? Offer benefits to East Asian migration and they will come.

I am Japanese and own a company relating to construction in Japan. I want to write a couple of things not mentioned. 1. It costs money to employ foreign workers. The human resource agency typically charges employers 10-15,000 USD per foreign worker That includes, travel costs, visa clearance, finding suitable candidates and so on. - That is a part of the reasons why some workers experience overwork and exploitation. Employers already pay tons of money upfront. 2. Those "low-skilled" works are not so low-skilled anymore. In order to properly work in construction sites, you need to have a few qualifications. You need to pass some tests in Japanese for skills and safety. (The guy in a video bringing down scaffolding to the ground and guys on a red elevator thingy, they all have qualifications.) Without qualifications, you will be considered unsafe and unskilled to work. You will be regarded as a second-class worker who has no clue about safety standards. Upon entering a site, you will be asked to write an "Entry sheet for new workers" in Japanese, that would be tricky too. - It's not fully a matter of being a Japanese or not. It's partially a matter of credentials too.

@@riskleaf6079 The reason people integrate into the US easier than in other countries is because, the US is much less vehement about integrating people. People in the US are much more individualistic so there is less pressure on immigrants to be like everyone else. This allows people to integrate at their own speed assuming they want to at all. In Europe and Japan however society is more group oriented and so they expect you to look and act a certain way as soon as you become a citizen. Unfortunately this has the unintended side effect of alienating anyone that can't do that (most adult immigrants) and people respond by holding tighter to their culture of origin. Because the greater society places constant pressure on them you end up with generations of people that have lived in a country and never truly integrated.

I suppose Japan could accept a few immigrants from Korea, and maybe even a few from China. I mean, yes, I am aware that the Japanese tend to look down on the Chinese. But the two countries do share some cultural similarities - for instance, the cultures of both countries value hard work. As for Korea, of course, although Korea doesn't share a common language with Japan, the two languages are very close - it is easy for Koreans to learn Japanese.

Cultural integration is essential to Japan and Japanese culture. Peace occurs when a group has a common mindset and work in harmony.

Most foreign workers prefer to return to their homelands after their work tenures. Immigration alone is not the sole solution.

they need permanent immigrants. this is essentially a population problem and it has been studied profoundly in economics because sooner or later, other advanced economies could face similar problems as birth rates continue to decline in the developed world. this not only affects the retirement system but the economy as whole, from the type of products available, to the culture, to the availability of jobs. its all intertwined within each other. again, they need to either increase their birth rate which is not likely or "import" foreigners. Edit: by permanent, i mean a steady stream of immigrants in whichever manner possible.

@@jinismymom7272 Maybe overcrowding is playing a part in choosing not to have children.

Replacement migration does nothing to solve this issue, if you import foreign workers, you need more foreign workers. Its like adding lanes to a highway to fix traffic. Clearly Japan has benefitted from being homogenous, Europe has NOT benefitted from open borders and multiculturalism, as they still have labor shortages but now have unfixable social problems on top of the same demographic issues. Also, when does it end? Are you supposed to just keep importing people until your native population is less than 50 percent of the only homeland they will ever have? Maybe work to fix the main issue first, people dont feel like having kids in financially feasable, how would bringing in more labor to lower wages help that issue? Its maddening that so many people in the media push mass immigration as if it has any long term benefit.

Improve parental leave laws, learn from Scandinavia and you’ll see a baby boom

But there isn’t a baby boom in Scandinavia. Their birth rates are still below replacement levels; Sweden has the same birth rate as the United States. As well given the problems that have come from mass immigration, they are not a model to emulate.

You had better travel Japan. It is very very difficult to live in Japan as foreigners.

While this is interesting, it’s heavily biased towards a certain political view. Instead of focusing in on Japan’s problems, perhaps quarts should focus on China: who has 1.5 million Muslims enslaved, has committed genocide against the Falun Gong, are openly racist against all races (especially Africans) who are not Chinese, and are taking women from North Korea and Burma to use as pleasure wives due to their women shortage. Quartz your selective reporting is proving to be annoying, unproductive, and fake news like.

This is what has been happening in Italy due to the scarcity of young local workforce which it's in high demand. Japan is the first on the list to be accounting the highest level of seniors followed by Italy. However, the young generations are desperately moving away to seek available jobs overseas because being either employed in a local business or for the gov does not guarantee a sufficient salary to deal with daily life. Furthermore, offsprings have its own cost and without any grant provided by the gov, it's harsh to raise them within such a context. As a consequence, local families with no financial help tend to reduce the number of kids per couple or even avoid to have them. On the other hand, immigrants or better called them refugees from Africa are spreading all around Europe seeking help from nations like Italy which doesn't provide enough resource for them due to its current economic status. Well, I'd state that despite the Italian gov is not able to help their own citizen out, gives the priority to those who are considered asylum seeker leading the local economy to collapse instead to recover it. These people will be able to integrate into European society within a decade or more due to their cultural difference that is completely out to the western perspective. Finally, who is going to pay the pension for those who are going to retire the next decade? The percentage of young Italians who are immigrating raise every year so I will be delighted to see these new human sources from Africa paying off our debt, tax to guarantee a pretty decent life for the future retirees. lol

Genes gets stronger and better when they mixes. That's just how evolution happened. Even though Japan was closed to the world for centuries, even before there was Japan, their genes for sure have mixed with other genes, so they are technically not a pure race. No race is a pure race unless you live on Mars.

Mate countries like the UK and much of Europes growth was dependent on immigration to fit the labour required. Right now our country is in need of labor. You're just racist. Pureblood what a load of bollocks.

What's wrong with guest workers (gast arbeit) as long as they return home. There no reason to dilute Japanese culture for short term need. Also immigrants need pensions and health care in old age.

Except some don't want foreigners to live hell they tolerate most who just Vacation there.
