Japan expands foreign worker visa programme to address driver shortage
The Business Guardian
|March 30, 2024
The Japanese government took a significant step on Friday to address the nation’s pressing shortage of skilled labor, particularly in the transportation and logistics sectors, by expanding its foreign skilled worker visa program.
-
This move, as reported by Kyodo News, marks the addition of four new industries to the visa program, a response to the ongoing challenges posed by Japan’s declining birthrate and the impending “2024 problem” related to overtime limits for drivers.
Introduced in 2019, the expansion of the visa program covers the road and railway transportation sectors, along with the forestry and timber industries. This marks the first expansion of the program since its inception, highlighting the government’s recognition of the growing need for foreign labor in key sectors of the economy.

SCHOOLING WOMEN: LESSONS AT HOME, VOICES OUTSIDE — EDUCATION’S RISE FROM ZENANA T0 ASSEMBLY
Not a one-way crossing but a two-way circulation: household skills—thrift, hygiene, record-keeping—scaled into public reform, while exams and magazines brought civic habits back home. The “good wife” became budget-maker and petition-signer; the school learned the idioms of cleanliness and care. Separate spheres, in practice, taught each other.
