... Additional reading about interview of Akagi-san:-
She said that every night she watched NEWS ZERO before she went to sleep. One of the reasons she watched ZERO was because of Sakurai-san. She was a big fan of Sakurai-san. Sakurai-san properly graduated from Keio while singing and dancing in Johnny's. And he managed to work as a news caster. She respected him. But it was really a pity that Sakurai-san only appeared in Monday ZERO, it would be great if he would appear on more days. https://twitter.com/ars_drawingmia/status/483939275554045953

... Plus One! ＃007 foreign workers

The law which would greatly change our living environment may be passed in this week.
The reception of foreign workers will be expanded from the April the coming year,
The theme of “Plus One!” this time is here.

“Competition” for foreign workers.

This is a Japanese bar in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

Vietnamese staff
"Sorry for keeping you waiting. This is the pickled mackerel."

On the day of our coverage,
all the four staff apart from the chief were Vietnamese.

Chief Iwasaki Ken-san
“In fact, the restaurant business itself lacks manpower,
so we very much agree with the expansion.“

In fact, now, Japan is a popular place for Vietnamese to go to work.

This is a vocational training school in Vietnam for people aiming to work in Japan.

The radio gymnastics which is familiar in the morning assembly of factory
is also daily assignment here.

A poster teaching how to bow is put on in the corridor.
Then why they aim at working in Japan, we have asked about the reasons.

Vietnamese attended the vocational training school
“I think working in Japan would earn more than in Vietnam.“

This is the photo taken in March 2018 in front of the Japan Embassy.
Such a long queue.
It is said that there are as many as 3,000 people in one day lining up for visa permission.

However, while Japan is a popular workplace for them, on the other hand,
it is said that there is competition for manpower.

Umeda Kunio, Ambassador of the Embassy of Japan in Vietnam
“The place Vietnam go to work most is Taiwan. And Japan comes 2nd, and Korea 3rd.”

The competition for foreign workers has already started.
We had a coverage on the current situation of Korea which accepts foreigners as workers ahead of Japan.

Foreign workers who sweat on playing taekwondo, the national sport of Korea.
As one part of the free-of-charge support programme implemented by the Korean government, the purpose seems to facilitate them to get familiar with the Korea society.

Anticipating the shortage of manpower, Korea started receiving foreign workers from 2004.
Only corporates permitted by the government can employ foreigners.

At this automobile parts factory, foreign workers earn 250,000 yen to 300,000 yen per month,
it is said that there is no difference in treatment between Korean and foreign workers.

Vietnamese working in Korea
“I came to Korea for my family.
The payment here is high.”

In Korea, the window of policy is the government,
the treatment such as salary to foreigners is also basically the same as to Korean.
up to three job changes is accepted.

On the other hand, the current system in Japan is Technical Intern Training Program with the aim of contributing to the international affairs.
The window of policy is handled by the private sector.
It is pointed out that the salary is lower than that of Japanese,
and in principle, change of workplace is not allowed.

While, in the new system to be revised and introduced by law,
while the window will continue to be handled by the private sector,
efforts will be put to countermeasures against malicious brokers.
In addition, the treatment will be the same as Japanese,
if it is in the same industry, change of work is allowed.

However, even in Korea which emphasises that the system is managed by the government,
it is pointed out that “foreign workers are working in harsh environment” such as in some circumstances, minimum wages cannot be kept.

It seems that there is a need to look into how to create the working environment in the future along with the bill discussion
