One year expansion of accepting foreign human resources “Specific skills” stays at about 3,000 people April 4: 4:54
The system to expand the acceptance of foreign human resources has started, and it will be one year a day. However, there are only about 3,000 foreign nationals who have acquired a new status of residence "specific skills" and are working in Japan. The Residential Management Agency has decided to encourage the development of an environment for sending human resources.
In order to solve the labor shortage, a system to expand the acceptance of foreign human resources has begun, and one day is one year.
The government anticipated that up to 47,000 people would be accepted for the new status of residence "special skills" in the year from April last year. There are only 2994 foreigners at the end of February.
The Immigration and Immigration Service has a system in Vietnam and China, which account for nearly three-quarters of technical intern trainees working in Japan, because there is no mechanism to properly send out persons who have acquired “specific skills”. It is said that the number of accepting people is not growing. For this reason, the Immigration and Immigration Service is urging urgent discussions with the two countries to promote the creation of an environment where human resources can be sent.
On the other hand, the spread of the new coronavirus has had the effect of delaying overseas testing, so we will continue to flexibly respond to the testing methods and treatment of residence.
