Takaichi to finalize Japan’s foreign resident policy by March
The policy will consider future population projections, as the country seeks to balance a reliance on foreign workers with a shrinking population.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has committed to finalizing Japan's policy on foreign residents by March, as the government debates the possibility of implementing immigration limits. The policy will take into account projected population growth and its potential effects on Japanese society and economy, as the nation strives to strike a balance between a declining population and the need for foreign labor.
In a recent Senate hearing, Takaichi indicated that the government would share projected population trends and a full overview of measures to address them.
