    Japan sees their F’ed demographics and wants these foreigners to stay. Anything to avoid fixing the toxic culture and ethos surrounding work.

      I think it’s probably more their plummeting birth rate and aging population. Japan is becoming a society of seniors.

      Kind of crazy considering how insular that place is. Say what you will about the west but Japan is not generally less friendly to immigrants

        Yeah that’s what I said. The demographics in their country have been f’ed for a while.

        And Instead of fixing their society that younger people are able and willing to have children they see an easy way to infuse some young blood.

        But the bottom line is that Japan seriously needs to address their societal problems and one of them is the toxic work culture they have, as it makes starting a family near impossible.
