data-end=\"238\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"240\" data-end=\"285\">Japan Becoming Dependent on Foreign Labor<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"287\" data-end=\"539\">In today\u2019s Japan, under the government policy of <em data-start=\"336\" data-end=\"355\">Work Style Reform<\/em>, many companies have adopted a <strong data-start=\"387\" data-end=\"415\">complete two-day weekend<\/strong> system.<br data-start=\"423\" data-end=\"426\" \/>Especially for contractors engaged in <strong data-start=\"464\" data-end=\"480\">public works<\/strong>, the <em data-start=\"486\" data-end=\"503\">two-day weekend<\/em> system is already nearly universal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"541\" data-end=\"748\">However, in <strong data-start=\"553\" data-end=\"561\">2021<\/strong>, the government announced a <strong data-start=\"590\" data-end=\"598\">goal<\/strong> of shifting to a <strong data-start=\"616\" data-end=\"637\">three-day weekend<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"638\" data-end=\"641\" \/>Of course, it\u2019s just a target\u2014but if that really happened, the economy probably wouldn\u2019t function properly.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"750\" data-end=\"753\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"755\" data-end=\"797\">The Labor Shortage and Foreign Workers<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"799\" data-end=\"1021\">Right now, Japan is suffering from a labor shortage and is <strong data-start=\"858\" data-end=\"900\">rapidly accepting more foreign workers<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"901\" data-end=\"904\" \/>So, what will happen to Japan in the future?<br data-start=\"948\" data-end=\"951\" \/>And what do <em data-start=\"963\" data-end=\"983\">technical trainees<\/em> and <em data-start=\"988\" data-end=\"1005\">foreign workers<\/em> think about it?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"799\" data-end=\"1021\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57078\"

data-end=\"1026\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1028\" data-end=\"1048\">The Future I See<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1050\" data-end=\"1277\">I believe that in the near future, <strong data-start=\"1085\" data-end=\"1113\">99% of construction work<\/strong> will be carried out by <em data-start=\"1137\" data-end=\"1157\">technical trainees<\/em> and <em data-start=\"1162\" data-end=\"1187\">foreign skilled workers<\/em>.<br data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1191\" \/>That future is certain, because the number of Japanese workers is steadily decreasing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1279\" data-end=\"1409\">For the time being, sites will still be supervised by Japanese people\u2014but within the next ten years, this will change drastically.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1411\" data-end=\"1414\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1416\" data-end=\"1457\">Equal Opportunity for Skilled Workers<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1459\" data-end=\"1765\">Those who can do their job well will be employed <strong data-start=\"1508\" data-end=\"1557\">under the same conditions as Japanese workers<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1558\" data-end=\"1561\" \/>Basically, the employment system today is already similar for both.<br data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1631\" \/>Some companies still discriminate, but such companies will eventually be eliminated.<br data-start=\"1715\" data-end=\"1718\" \/>If you see such injustice\u2014<strong data-start=\"1744\" data-end=\"1765\">report it boldly!<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1767\" data-end=\"1770\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1772\" data-end=\"1801\">The New Blue-Collar Japan<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1803\" data-end=\"1979\">In fields like <strong data-start=\"1818\" data-end=\"1856\">civil engineering and construction<\/strong>, where we work, <strong data-start=\"1873\" data-end=\"1891\">Japanese youth<\/strong> are increasingly reluctant to participate.<br data-start=\"1934\" data-end=\"1937\" \/>In a sense, this is a <strong data-start=\"1959\" data-end=\"1978\">big opportunity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1981\" data-end=\"2178\">Without <em data-start=\"1989\" data-end=\"2009\">technical trainees<\/em> and <em data-start=\"2014\" data-end=\"2039\">foreign skilled workers<\/em>, construction projects couldn\u2019t even proceed.<br data-start=\"2085\" data-end=\"2088\" \/>Even in my own company, without foreign workers, we wouldn\u2019t be able to handle many sites.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2180\" data-end=\"2295\">If you learn your job properly and work with the same standards as Japanese workers, you can be hired <strong data-start=\"2282\" data-end=\"2294\">anywhere<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2297\" data-end=\"2329\">However, there are conditions:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2330\" data-end=\"2399\">\n<li data-start=\"2330\" data-end=\"2374\">\n<p data-start=\"2332\" data-end=\"2374\"><strong data-start=\"2332\" data-end=\"2372\">Japanese language level N3 or higher<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li

data-start=\"2401\" data-end=\"2520\">If you also have good <strong data-start=\"2423\" data-end=\"2440\">communication<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2445\" data-end=\"2466\">management skills<\/strong>, you have the chance to even <em data-start=\"2496\" data-end=\"2519\">lead Japanese workers<\/em>.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2522\" data-end=\"2525\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"2527\" data-end=\"2559\">The Perspective of Employers<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2561\" data-end=\"2757\">For business owners like me, if a Japanese worker cannot perform well, I would rather <strong data-start=\"2647\" data-end=\"2679\">hire capable foreign workers<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"2680\" data-end=\"2683\" \/>Many construction company owners in Japan are beginning to think this

choose A-san\u2019s schedule, right?<br data-start=\"3159\" data-end=\"3162\" \/>In fact, many Japanese people are already choosing this.<br data-start=\"3218\" data-end=\"3221\" \/>And to be honest, many Asian men would also choose A-san\u2019s lifestyle! &#x1f604;<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"3295\" data-end=\"3298\" \/>\n<p data-start=\"3300\" data-end=\"3343\">But what happens when both A and B turn

joining a major construction company specializing in slope stabilization, I went independent at the age of 32. With so much free time on my hands, I started a blog. I\u2019ve been sharing my expertise on slope stabilization and answering all kinds of questions. As a result, I\u2019ve seen an increase in inquiries, questions, and orders from slope stabilization contractors, general contractors, and other major construction firms. My traffic on Ameblo grew to a reasonable level, so I decided to move on from Ameblo by acquiring my own domain in order to create a more user-friendly blog. I plan to continue sharing all my expertise openly and honestly here.
