I'm unsure why JT and the poster chose that headline.
Remove where the CEO was born from the statement. It is absolutely true that Japan is in the midst of a population crisis regardless of political, ethnic or socio-economic climate. It isn't because of some "obvious evil" or some Runaway problem". It's just the way it is in Japan, This was heralded in the 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, and it is hitting hard now.
The japanese culture of saving face, civic sense, remaining quiet, will not fix this. That's not some damning problem indicative of japanese people. It's just descibing it the way it is.
Why would any executive, regardless of nationality, not be keenly aware of the major, major market/socio-economic challenges facing their segment?
What about this article is anyone, group etc. "forcing multiculturaism on non-settler societies"?
- toomuchtodo 2y agoIf a country wants to preserve culture over economic gains, that is a choice. India has 1.45B people (as of this comment), I would expect places with lots of people to be pro-immigration, and advocate for (in countries that potentially could accept a lot of immigrants) lots of immigration, if you argued for economic success at all costs. Infosys founder is also advocating for 70 hour work weeks for economic gains, different story same tune: line go up. https://www.theregister.com/2024/12/16/asia_tech_news_roundup/ https://www.theregister.com/2024/12/16/asia_tech_news_roundu... Start at what a country is optimizing for, and work backwards. Line go up is not the end all be all. Tokyo is promoting a 4 day week to improve life for workers to increase the birth rate. Improving living and working conditions domestically is potentially superior to importing immigrants as fuel for a misconfigured economic system.
