40 % der lizenzierten Pflegemanager in Japan (die Krankenschwestern für die Pflege älterer Menschen usw. koordinieren) arbeiten trotz Engpässen und unbesetzten Stellen nicht in diesem Bereich. Es wird angenommen, dass die Gründe dafür unter anderem eine schlechte Behandlung, schlechte Löhne und ein schlechtes Arbeitsumfeld sowie die Belastung durch gesetzlich vorgeschriebene Schulungen sind

I think this industry has been one of the more foreigner-dependent ones for quite some time. Even in the US it is very immigrant-dependent since the work can be difficult and disturbing without paying all that well for workers.

It is wild the extent to which worker-shortage doesn’t seem to put upward pressure on wages and working conditions

One major problem is that in order to pay them enough to make enough japanese people do the job you’d basically have to charge the taxpayers. No private company is going to operate in the red on a permanent basis. So the practical solution is to bring in super cheap foreign laborers. The crazy part is that the population is now attacking those very same foreigners that are supporting their society. I don’t think the public is done, just closing their eyes to inconvenient truths
