Living and working in Japan
Japan needs skilled professionals
Currently, Japan is facing a labour shortage.
A growing aging population combined with a diminishing birth-rate have contributed to a surge of attractive job opportunities.
The ratio of job openings per applicant is 1.2 even amidst the ongoing COVID-19 situation. (*data from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare as of May 2022)
Third largest economy in the world
Japan currently boasts the world’s third largest nominal GDP.
This not only allows Japanese companies to consider global development, but also acts as an attractive market for foreign companies to expand in.
The increase of international work environments means both local and foreign companies need experienced professionals to lead the expansion.
Globalization
With the rise of globalization in the Japan market, companies are actively seeking professionals with overseas expertise, especially in metropolitan areas like Tokyo and Osaka.
The influx of international business, especially due to events such as the Tokyo Olympics and the Osaka Expo, further drive the need for professionals with a globalized skill set.
