TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Japan Association for Construction Human Resources (JAC) admitted that it really hopes for help from workers from neighboring countries, including Indonesia, in overcoming the labor crisis in the country.

"The elderly in Japan are more numerous than the young, which means that there are very few young workers, so we really hope for help from manpower from neighboring countries in particular, one of which is Indonesia," said JAC project head Naoya Shikano, in Jakarta, Wednesday to Antara.
