Japan's foreign resident population reached a record 3.95 million in June 2025, driven by labor shortages and a rise in skilled workers.
As of June 2025, Japan's foreign resident population hit a record 3.95 million, a 5% rise from 2024, driven by growing labor demands due to a shrinking domestic workforce.
The increase was largely fueled by a surge in skilled workers and professionals, particularly in engineering and humanities, while permanent residents remained the largest group.
Over 21.3 million foreigners entered Japan in the first half of 2025, potentially reaching a record 45 million for the year.
The government projects the foreign resident count will reach 4.15 million by end-2025, with illegal residents declining to 71,229.
