Should Japan Decrease The Number Of Immigrants Into The Country Compared To Other Countries?

Did you know that Japan accepts almost no immigrants into the country compared to some countries? We only accept less than 16% of immigrants accepted in Europe (Office of immigration statistics). This is remarkable because Japan is a developed country and is as wealthy as other countries in Europe and other continents. According to the department of homeland security, Japan accepted one of the fewest numbers of immigrants in Asia in 2015. Furthermore, research from the same source shows that the immigrant acceptation rate in Japan has decreased year by year since 2010. From this, we can see that Japan accepts less immigrants compared to other countries around the world, therefore, should start accepting more. Japan can have more workers, tax income and decrease the number of illegal immigrants.
More workers will certainly help Japan. The Ministry of labour force predicts that the Japanese labour force will decrease by 40% by 2055. This means that we will only have almost a half of the numbers of workers we have now. What is more, some Japanese people don’t want to work in manual labour forces. A study in the Saitama Inaho cup inter-high school shows that young Japanese don’t want to do jobs such as nursing, agriculture and many more. We need motivated workers quick, before some jobs start to lack personnel. Finally, immigrants will be motivated if they get a job in Japan. Since 2005, salary for immigrants have increased by 8% (Migration Policy Institute). If people get an increased salary, they will be motivated, which is good for the Japanese economy. This will help the government support poor
