International Symposium/Workshop

JILPT International Workshop 2007

The Asian countries and economies have been actively pursuing free trade agreements (FTA) and economic partnership agreements (EPA), which often include provisions for migration of people. Japan is concerned about structural labor shortage in the aging society with fewer children and Japanese companies are eager to benefit from various human resources to cope with international competition. It is an important policy challenge for Japan under these circumstances to find out the best way to receive foreign workers.

This workshop aims at contributing foreign worker policy in Japan and other countries through reports and opinion exchange among the participating experts on the theme, “Management and Actual Conditions on Foreign Workers.”

"Management and Actual Conditions on Foreign Workers" (16th March)
