Chinese are the Number One Illegal Worker in Japan

Japan is not having as many babies as they used to = the labor force is dwindling.

So, where is the labor force going to come from?

The number of foreign workers coming to Japan has reached an all-time high. The number of foreigners coming to Japan to work is nearly double what it was 10 years ago.

In 1995, 81,508 workers came to Japan. 10 years later the number reacher 158,877.

Add to that the estimated number of illegal workers that entered Japan in 2004 of 43,059 and the number is about 200,000.

So, where do the illegal workers come from?

Most of them come from China – abt. 29.4%.

Next they come from the PI – abt 14.6%.

After that they come from South Korea – abt. 14.4%.

Followed by Thailand (6.6%), Indonesia (4.4%), Malaysia (3.5%), Myanmar (3.1%) and Bangladesh (2.8%).

Japan will have to get its workers from someplace. Unfortunately, too many of the workers in the above groups are young ladies who come to Japan to work under false pretenses.

Bummer.
