People's network tokyo, 15 august, reported that since its implementation in july 2018, japan has had a low utilization rate of the japanese-born 4th generation who have been allowed to work in the japanese-japanese system since july 2018。
Whereas the maximum annual number of persons who had acquired the right to remain in the country of entry and departure from japan at the stay office was 4,000 per year, as at 17 june only 43 persons had been retained, representing less than 1 per cent。
It is known that the low utilization threshold is applied to the retention system, which imposes severe restrictions on japanese proficiency and age. Currently, the country of entry and departure is discussing the easing of the relevant conditions in the holding office。
Prior to the introduction of the system, the fourth generation of japanese who were able to work in japan provided in principle for unmarried, minor children living with the third generation of parents who were entitled to “residents”. At the request of japanese-related groups, japan's ministry of justice, last july, included the fourth generation of japanese in the category of “specified activities” visas eligible for japanese employment, making it easier for young japanese to work in japan。
However, the policy requires basic japanese language proficiency, which is equivalent to the language level n4 of the japanese language proficiency examination and limits the age to 18 to 30 years. Those who qualify may remain in japan for up to five years, but may not carry their family members. Furthermore, the most important aspect of the policy is the need for applicants to find “facilitators” in japan who can assist them in their lives。
The association of japanese abroad, located in the city of yokohama, is an association responsible for overseas communication, and the director of the department of public affairs, sukehei nishi, has stated that “numerous of the 4th generation of japanese meet the requirements of japanese language”, and has therefore requested the government to ease the restrictions on japanese language, age, and non-family status。
On the basis of such a request, the country of entry and exit from japan is in the process of discussing the easing of conditions in the detention authority. Specifically, with regard to japanese proficiency, the discussion will take a more flexible and flexible approach to proving japanese proficiency, not limited to the results of japanese proficiency examinations. In response to the recommendation to extend the length of time spent and to allow for the carrying of family members, many felt that these were more difficult to achieve, and that the japanese government would be a significant subject in terms of how to increase the number of applicants when changing the regulations.
