Economics for skilled workers, which are pretty much the only people getting into Japan via work, isn't the issue. Quality of life is very similar for skilled workers in most of Europe and Japan.
The problem is still the immigration process itself, the (work) culture, and the language. Japan still hasn't made the process as easy as pre-COVID, and it wasn't that easy to begin with pre-COVID.
- rbanffy 4y agoBefore joining my current job, I was interviewing for a position at one of Toyota's R&D spin-offs. While they made a stellar job at selling the company (and ensuring all immigration support, from language classes and professional assistance for the process of moving and finding a home), in the end I opted for a lower-risk, lower-friction option because I have a pre-teen daughter and moving countries is a bit stressful, especially crossing such a cultural chasm. It's still something I would contemplate at a later stage - I actually enjoy jumping cultures.
