Japanese CEO urges Japan to increase immigration to combat economic challenges from population decline.

Indian-born CEO of Japanese snack company Kameda Seika, Lekh Juneja, urges Japan to accept more immigrants to boost its economy. Japan's population is projected to drop by nearly a third over the next 50 years, with a shrinking workforce. A study suggests Japan needs to triple its foreign workers to 6.88 million by 2040 to maintain economic growth. Juneja, who has lived in Japan for over 35 years, says the country must overcome language barriers and adopt a more global mindset to ensure future success.
