But she should not let her tone become hostile, given Japan’s real need for immigrants to soften the impact of population ageing and decline.
Extracted from: Sanae Takaichi’s historic opportunity in Japan , Financial Times
Evidence
“Japan has a long list of problems: sluggish growth, public debt that is the largest in the world, and a working population that is both ageing and shrinking. ... Japan's population - and its workforce - has been shrinking for years. It is now one of the oldest societies in the world, putting immense pressure on public services such as healthcare and social care. It is already facing acute labour shortages in construction, care work, agriculture and hospitality. Fewer workers mean less output and, therefore, weaker growth. Immigration could ease this strain.”
