Japan plans to recruit 100,000 workers from Bangladesh in the next five years. In addition, Japanese companies also plan to recruit thousands of skilled workers. This information was given by Chief Advisor Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus. He said, “We are preparing for a free, fair, acceptable and participatory general election that will ensure justice, equality, freedom and human dignity.” He also said, “In the current unstable global context, people’s empowerment and grassroots leadership have become more important than ever before.” He also highlighted Bangladesh’s humanitarian role in the Rohingya crisis and active participation in UN peacekeeping.

Japan is currently facing a labor shortage. To address this crisis, they are keen to recruit foreign workers. The Japanese government recruited more than 900 workers from Bangladesh last year. In addition, according to the new policy of the Japanese government, visa opportunities have been created for skilled workers in 14 sectors. These include nursing, construction, agriculture, restaurants, electronics, automobiles, fisheries, aviation, shipbuilding, services, food and beverages, building cleaning, industrial machinery and materials pressing. These sectors plan to recruit 361,400 Bangladeshi workers by 2025.

Japanese language skills are required for workers wishing to work in Japan. Under the new visa policy, workers will have to pass a Japanese language test. However, in some cases, such as in the nursing sector, there is an opportunity to receive training through language education centers.

Training and employment opportunities for Bangladeshi nurses are increasing with the establishment of the Japan-Bangladesh Global Nursing College. A 20-bed hospital along with a Japanese language education center will be built in this college, which will pave the way for Bangladeshi nurses to find employment in Japan.

Through these initiatives, employment opportunities for Bangladeshi workers in Japan are increasing, which will have a positive impact on the country’s economy.
