Japan faces a severe labor shortage due to its aging population and declining birthrate, increasing demand for skilled foreign workers proficient in Japanese. While Nepal sends around 50,000 workers annually, Bangladesh has only managed 3,500 due to inadequate language skills, training, and bureaucratic challenges. Experts urge Bangladesh to improve Japanese language education and streamline visa processes to boost manpower exports. Effective government and private sector cooperation is vital to tap into Japan’s vast labor market and reduce unemployment at home.
