Which country’s foreign workers are the best fit for Japan!?

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Does your company have any technical interns or foreign workers?

So, which country do you think is the best right now?

Depending on the country of origin of foreign workers and trainees, their work styles and adaptability to life in Japan vary, don't they?

 

Which country is the best?

Technical Interns

This is a question we get asked often.

At Enta, we employ technical interns and Specified Skilled Workers from Vietnam and Nepal.

Among these, questions from those who want to hear real-life stories focus on topics such as “Which country is best?”—that is, how foreign workers adapt to working in Japan and their ability to cope with the environment.

That's the point.

 

So, I'm thinking of conducting a survey.

Please select up to three countries that you think are good. Which countries have foreign workers and trainees who possess the work styles and adaptability suited to Japan?

Please include this in the survey.

By the way, here are the percentage and number of foreign workers currently in Japan.

 

Rank Nationality/Region Number of people (persons) Percentage (%)
1st Place Vietnam 223,296 52.4%
2nd place Indonesia 93,371 21.9%
3rd place Philippines 44,127 10.4%
4th place China 28,686 6.7%
5th place Myanmar 22,232 5.2%
6th place Cambodia 6,290 1.5%
7th place Thailand 4,213 1.0%
8th place Mongolia 1,770 0.4%
9th place Laos 733 0.2%
10th place Uzbekistan 464 0.1%
Total 425,714 100%

The survey hasn't expired yet, so it's definitely possible that the results will change as times change, but I guess that's just how it goes lol.

Please rate based on the nationalities you have had experience with.

Which country is a good fit for Japan? Is there a good match?

How do those countries' work practices and responsiveness measure up?

I put thoughts like that in the survey, lol
