For-profit. Companies like to make money.

Government laws to protect the workforce. These laws do not exist in Japan. This is what needs to change to help a number of social issues in this country. Make laws that give severe monetary penalties on companies that practice shady employee treatment. multiplied…

confusing case. children were born in the US but the man changed to Japanese nationality?

anyways, the mother should be extradited to the US to face charges there, and the father should be tried in Japan. USnin puts it right tho, it is unlikely they will be able to prove…

As i said before, it is employers like ppayne claims to be that give further support that effective employee work protection laws do not exist in Japan.

There are a few laws, but none of them are enforced, and are virtually meaningless.

Japan is screwing its self because employers can…

minimum wadge doesnt effect as many end products produced in Japan, companies have been leaning to china production for years, and its only getting more dependent as time ticks by.

It is far more complex than to simply say Salary increase by 100yen will make everything more expensive. What about…

Without laws-with-teeth that financially penalize companies for taking advantage of their employees, this country will continue to see a decline in full time employment, number of babies per person, and disposable income for singles and families. This is really a no-brainer, I am curious why the new (and old) governments…

Foreign residents in Japan are often very transient and are generally not here for more than a couple years.

If voting rights are granted, it should be to the section of foreign population that has made a longer term commitment to staying in Japan.

High calibre incendiary rounds and bullets dont mix well. Why arent they hiring armed guards i wonder. Riddle their speedboats (thus setting them alight) and they'll sink like a stone. minus 5 pirates.
