    Japan will create nursing homes run by Terminators before they ever consider large scale immigration.

  2. I applied for a job in Sendai that I was qualified for in experience except I didn’t have a bachelors degree. My visa was denied because I only have an associates degree. Japan’s immigration laws are goofy.

    Have they tried making it crushingly difficult for younger people to live? Maybe that will help.

    What is happening in Japan and South Korea, EU and US will face 5-10 years from now. Italy is very close to Japan already

    Japan can’t even recognized ethnically half-Japanese people as Japanese enough.

    There’s no labour shortage in Japan. Only a pay shortage and QoL shortage. They treat the workforce like crap over there. If they paid appropriately they would get plenty of people working there.

    In fact it could be argued there’s never a labour shortage, only an employer class that doesn’t want to meet the market. If you can’t afford to meet the market, then do the work yourself.

    At least they’ll probably be smart about immigration and avoid the incompetent ways of Canada’s immigration system.

    They could fix it at any point no shortage of people that would be willing to move to japan

  9. Japan’s incredible post war population boom stabilizing, shocking!

    I remember seeing Japanese anime titled, “Roujin Z” which was story about advanced robotic AI bed created to care for elderly people (except with a twist)

    The anime was made in 1991 so the creator was well aware the future of Japan heading into demographic time bomb.

    There’s been an influx of migrant workers to Japan to make up for the shortage of labour force. And the cultural clashes aren’t pretty.

  12. In response, they’ll make people work even harder, which will lead to people having even fewer children, making the problem even worse.

    There was some dude in another Japanese population reduction post that said he would move to Japan and marry a Japanese girl and help repopulate Japan with good and educated children. Why do you all think he was downvoted?

    Canadas kicking some “Grade A” immigrants out. Want them? Commmmme onnnnn!

  15. Maybe if people didn’t spend their youth in cram schools and work 70 hours a week every week they’d have time to make some babies. 🙄

  16. Japanese people can afford to live somewhere. If they brought in a bunch of immigrants, that could change.

    I think every developed nation has this problem, albeit not as bad

    This is a cultural death-spiral. What will it be like when there’s more Japanese people living outside Japan than in it?

    Considering the geographic value Japan presents to the US, external intervention may be on the horizon if serious changes aren’t made.

    Would love to see Japan and Korean repopulate. Such good looking and smart dna.
