Summary
The number of Myanmar nationals in Japan has increased by nearly 60% in the past year, driven by young people fleeing the 2021 military coup and seeking work. They are becoming vital to Japan’s labor force, especially in manufacturing and nursing care, as the country faces a labor shortage and gradually opens up to more foreign workers.
