Nippon’s Prime Minister Abe Shinzo recently told investors that more foreign workers are needed to save Nippon’s economy, this is at the same time that Nipponese news media are revealing the hell that foreign workers have to endure.
For years now a population death spiral (what was that about the global population exploding out-of-control?) has Japan’s industries struggling to find workers (Japan’s migrant policies are far tougher that the United States, so it’s not like Japanese companies can just herd people across the border like here in the U.S.). Japan has even relaxed its migrant policies, but now it’s being revealed that foreign workers in Japan are being worked like slaves, even worked to death!

Japan Today reports that a Justice Ministry survey discovered that last Gregorian year 9-thousand-52 foreign workers went missing. The Ministry was somehow able to track down and ask 5-thousand-218 of them why they took-off. 759 blamed the working conditions.
The Justice Ministry also discovered that 171 workers died, from a combination of work accidents, suicides, disease or as a result of violent crime (yes, total-gun-ban Japan has violent crime). And this is just the foreign workers who were brought to Japan through the government’s technical internship program! There are hundreds of thousands of foreign workers in Nippon through other ‘programs’.
The Justice Ministry tried to survey employers, but many refused to cooperate.
The government survey concluded that many foreign workers are paid less than the minimum wage, have excessive deductions from their wages, or are forced to work overtime without compensation! In one case, a worker was averaging 60 hours of overtime every month and not being paid for it! The Justice Ministry found that some employers are taking the workers’ passports and confining them to dorms when they are not working. Many Japanese employers are using an old trick, telling the workers they’re in debt for the expenses of bringing them to Japan to work and therefore must work extra hours without pay.
One more thing, the Justice Ministry admitted it lied on earlier surveys, claiming missing foreign workers had left their jobs for better paying work!
