Japan is now mulling on loosening up a program that offers foreigners opportunities to work in Japan for up to three years. The program, which will allow nationals from China and other countries, is part of the Abe administration’s solution to an aging workforce. The new proposal submitted by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party on Tuesday includes prolonging the length of stay from three to up to five years, relaxing hiring rules for employers and opening more jobs to foreigners.
