60% of foreign workers with families "not allowed anymore" NHK Public Opinion Survey April 1, 8:33
According to NHK opinion polls, over 30% think that foreign workers should be more relaxed in living in Japan with their families, but not more than now. People accounted for 60%.
NHK has been working for people aged 18 and over nationwide for three days from last month before the new immigration control law, which provides new status of residence, has expanded the acceptance of foreign human resources to one year in one day. A public opinion poll was conducted using a method called "RDD," which calls random numbers on landline and mobile phones generated by computers for men and women. Responses were received from 1572 people, or 56.3% of the 2,792 people.
When asked if foreigners should be accepted as a limited workforce or broadly, not only in the workforce, 54% of respondents said that they should be widely accepted, not just in the workforce. "Limited acceptance" significantly exceeded 28%.
On the other hand, when asking foreign workers to live with their families, the conditions of the current law, such as restricting them to those with advanced skills, should be relaxed and asked if they should be more widely accepted. The percentage was 43%, "just as it is now", 43%, and "require more strict conditions", 18%, and 61% think they should not be allowed any more.
In addition, I asked if I think that even if the financial burden increases that some foreign children working in Japan cannot keep up with Japanese classes, they should increase opportunities for Japanese language education. In total, 79% of respondents answered that they would rather do so, indicating that many people should increase opportunities for Japanese language education.
