人口老化 日本想要外勞卻不敢明講

（路透）日本政壇決策者急著找出人口快速老化的解方，正在研究如何引進更多外籍勞工
，而不稱呼這個政策為「移民政策」。

(Reuters) Desperately seeking an antidote to a rapidly aging population,
Japanese policymakers are exploring ways to bring in more foreign workers
without calling it an "immigration policy".

在日本，移民是個棘手問題，因為保守人士重視文化同質性，而政治人物害怕失去那些擔
心失業勞工的選票。

Immigration is a touchy subject in a land where conservatives prize cultural
homogeneity and politicians fear losing votes from workers worried about
losing jobs.

不過，勞動市場緊俏，勞動力不斷減少，促使首相安倍晉三的政策團隊和國會議員考慮這
個在政治上有爭議的選項。

But a tight labour market and ever-shrinking work force are making Prime
Minister Shinzo Abes policy team and lawmakers consider the politically
controversial option.

日本執政黨自民黨一個專門小組的幾位重要成員26日提案，建議擴增開放外籍勞工從事的
職業種類，並讓外籍勞工總量從目前的近100萬翻倍，顯示了政策方向的轉變。

Signalling the shift, leading members of a ruling Liberal Democratic Party
(LDP) panel on Tuesday proposed expanding the the types of jobs open to
foreign workers, and double their numbers from current levels of close to 1
million.

自民黨專門小組顧問野田毅接受路透訪問時說：「日本國內社會對外籍勞工非常敏感，政
治人物一定要小心。」

"Domestically, there is a big allergy. As a politician, one must be aware of
that," Takeshi Noda, an adviser to the LDP panel, told Reuters in an
interview.

美國共和黨總統參選人川普讓移民成為選戰話題，日本則不同，歷史上少有移民移入，這
似乎讓日本人比其他國家的人更傾向把族群和文化多樣性看成威脅。

Unlike the United States, where Donald Trump has made immigration an election
issue, Japan has little history of immigration. But, that makes ethnic and
cultural diversity seem more of a threat in Japan than it may seem elsewhere.

雖然日本並未被衝擊歐洲的大規模移民危機煩擾，但世界上其他地方的紛擾確實改變了日
本人對移民的思維。

And while Japan is not caught up in the mass migration crisis afflicting
Europe, the controversies in other regions do colour the way Japanese think
about immigration.

自民黨國會議員將近10年前就提出移民草案，卻以失敗收場，從那時起，日本的勞動力短
缺問題變得更嚴重，對人口結構的預測結果也變得更嚴峻。

LDP lawmakers floated immigration proposals almost a decade ago, but those
came to naught. Since then, however, labour shortages have worsened and
demographic forecasts have become more dire.

這篇報導很寫實，

日本政府近年大幅放寬外籍勞工移民和入籍的條件

包括：

外籍人士永住權申請，原先只有唯一條件是在日工作並連續居住10年，

但是近年日本政府增加以下特殊條件：

符合日本政府規定的“高度人才”標準的外國人，可在來日3～5年後申請永住。

更包括在京都拿到大學學位者便可以拿到永住權

（這些移民的放寬，都是希望拉攏外籍高學歷人才留日工作）
