As Japan’s population continues to drop, due to the youth refusing to breed, they are beginning to consider immigration as a means to boost their numbers.
I imagine if they do choose to go this route, they are not going to do it by importing tens of millions of third world savages.
The website Asahi Shimbun has interviewed one of its own staff writers, Takeshi Suezaki, on this matter.
Question: The government is considering allowing more foreigners who want to live in Japan to do so. What is the aim of this move?
Answer: Although Japan currently has a population of 127 million, the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research estimates that the figure will drop to 40 million in 100 years, unless the number of newborns rises. According to the estimate, four out of every 10 people will be aged 65 or older within a century. While the fertility rate, the average number of children delivered by one woman in her lifetime, is currently 1.41, the figure needs to reach at least 2.07 to prevent the population from further decreasing.
Q: Will accepting more immigrants help resolve the problem?
A: If the population decline continues, young citizens will have to bear a heavier financial burden to maintain the state pension and public medical insurance system. Whereas some say there will be no problem if the population falls, the decreased number of citizens will result in shrinkage in the size of economy as well, sweeping people away from rural areas. Accepting more immigrants is one possible solution to the problem. If the government allows 200,000 foreigners to move to Japan every year and the fertility rate rises to around 2.0, the population is expected to stay above 100 million.
Q: Many immigrants are residing in Japan even now. What is your take on that?
A: As of the end of June 2013, 2.04 million foreigners, mainly Chinese and South Koreans, live in Japan. But the number has increased just by 15,000 from half a year earlier. In addition, only language teachers, cooks and other people doing jobs that require specialized knowledge and skills are allowed to work for an extended period in Japan.
Q: Will the government ease conditions for foreigners to work in Japan?
A: The construction industry is suffering from a shortage of workers due to reconstruction of northeastern Japan, affected by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami. The government has imposed strict conditions on hiring foreigners at construction sites, because employing them could lead to a decrease in jobs for Japanese citizens. The state is considering altering those requirements to create better conditions for foreigners to work.
Q: What are possible challenges?
A: Many cases in which foreign workers are forced to work long hours or employers do not pay wages have been reported. Some Japanese citizens may feel anxious about living among people who have different languages, lifestyles and religions. The education system and welfare services would also need to be improved for people coming from other countries. It is important to discuss the issue deliberately and not rush into any decisions yet.
I know that Japan has tried a lot of things to get the young people to reproduce, but it seems they could try more things before deciding to go ahead and replace their people.
