At the same time, I thought it would be helpful for the coming future where there will be more tourists towards the 2020 Olympics and more foreigners moving here. One of the industries with a critical staff shortage is hospitality, particularly hotels\u201d, he explains.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/36baacce-ddd0-11e8-9f04-38d397e6661c\">A recent survey<\/a> by the Financial Times states that despite a record low unemployment rate of 4%, some sectors of the British economy such as \u2018hospitality\u2019 and \u2018information and communications\u2019 have seen the biggest labour shortages. About 50% of the workers in a sector that encompasses everything from coffee bars and nightclubs are under 30 and the number of 18 to 24-year-olds entering the job market is far fewer as a consequence of a dip in the birth rate around the millennium. Many construction workers have left the industry and those who stayed are heading for retirement, and some EU nationals may have been discouraged from coming to the UK after the Brexit vote.<\/p>\n<p>While reasons for labour shortages vary from industry to industry and country to country, the two islands have oddly similar reasons such as poor work-life balance, lack of appropriate skills and experiences, low pay, and so on.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37344\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37344\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-37344\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/01\/photo-1546815670-5c5e437ffc6d-625x352.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37344\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-37344\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/01\/photo-1546815670-5c5e437ffc6d-625x352.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" \/><\/noscript> Employment of foreign workers in Japan was still somewhat unconventional back in 2014 (Photo Credit: Asael Pe\u00f1a on Unsplash).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the major factors to the current labour crisis, however, is the ageing population. Although in 2016 over 65-years-olds in the UK only made up of 18% of the total population, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/peoplepopulationandcommunity\/birthsdeathsandmarriages\/ageing\/articles\/livinglongerhowourpopulationischangingandwhyitmatters\/2018-08-13\">the Office for National Statistics<\/a> claims that in 50 years\u2019 time there will be an additional 8.6 million people aged 65 and over \u2013 a population broadly equivalent to the size of London today.<\/p>\n<p>Sectors such as agriculture that involve more physically demanding tasks do not have enough people in the UK to do the job, owing to a growing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/2016\/10\/05\/andrea-leadom-is-right--we-need-to-get-more-young-people-into-fa\/\">decline in young people\u2019s interest in the industry<\/a> as well as the ageing workforce. Ironically, agriculture labour shortages are then aggravated by the fact that rural isolated areas where farms are most in need of workers are often home to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ageukmobility.co.uk\/mobility-news\/article\/how-old-is-the-uk\">the highest populations of 65-year-olds and over<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few decades, people from the EU and beyond have been a lifesaver for the UK\u2019s economy; nevertheless, Brexit and a very likely new immigration policy to possibly follow it could be detrimental to the UK\u2019s labour market.<\/p>\n<p>Amid the UK\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/uk\/home-news\/uk-birth-rate-latest-number-babies-born-lowest-decade-a8066101.html\">10-year-low birth rate in 2017<\/a>, Japan\u2019s demographic time bomb shouldn\u2019t just be looked at as someone else\u2019s business. Until recently, Japan was operating a so-called close-knit country policy, which encouraged ethnic and cultural homogeneity \u2013 hence the strict restrictions on immigration, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/uk-to-remain-a-hostile-environment-for-immigration-under-nebulous-new-post-brexit-policy-109095\">much like the UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, the Japanese government has been opting to focus on encouraging more women into work, as well as increased activity by the elderly and a parallel attempt on increasing the nation\u2019s birth rate. However, the desperate need for workers led to the new labour policy being forced through Japan\u2019s parliament despite significant opposition, as it was acknowledged that without foreign workers, positions could just not be filled.<\/p>\n<p>LAWSON manager Mr Sekine recalls: \u201cWhen we decided to embark on the employment of foreign workers in 2014, it was absolutely not an order from up top. It was our voluntary measure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the contrary, there are serious concerns with Japan\u2019s immigration schemes. Set up in early 1990s, Technical Intern Training Programme (TITP) was designed to provide knowledge and training in technical skills for workers from developing countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines. The scheme has been strongly linked to human rights abuses such as trafficking and forced labour, which some critics described as \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2018-12-20\/japan-foreign-immigration-amid-desperate-labour-shortage\/10632288\">akin to modern slavery<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people from such developing countries come to Japan expecting the country to be the best in hospitality, hoping that they can absorb something good about the culture. But some companies take their innocence to their advantage. They must be protected under laws at any cost\u201d, explains Mr Sekine.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37358\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37358\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-37358\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/01\/photo-1536094627107-abf98dedaa8f-625x352.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37358\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-37358\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2019\/01\/photo-1536094627107-abf98dedaa8f-625x352.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" \/><\/noscript> Migrant exploitation is a serious issue both in Japan and the UK (Photo Credit: Jessica Palomo on Unsplash).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The UK has its own history of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/43daccd0-410d-11e5-9abe-5b335da3a90e\">migrant exploitation<\/a>, namely in sectors such as agriculture, fisheries, hospitality and construction.<\/p>\n<p>To protect against further exploitation, the Japanese government launched a crackdown on its foreign worker policy that will actively encourage companies to directly employ workers instead of through exploitative brokers. It will also offer salaries equal to those of Japanese workers in the same position, language support, training and more.<\/p>\n<p>All of these strategies are what the UK might be wise to consider for any future immigration labour policy.
