Japan to Accept 1.2M+ Foreign Workers

Japan is making big changes to its rules for foreign workers.

The country needs more workers because many people are getting older and retiring.

The government is going to let in more than 1.2 million foreign workers over the next few years.

They will replace an old program that had some problems with a new one called the Employment for Skill Development program.

This new program will help foreign workers stay in Japan longer and learn new skills.

The government is also being careful because some people in Japan are worried about having too many foreign workers.

They are trying to balance the need for workers with these concerns.
