Vietnamese trainees in Japan face increased deportations amid crackdown on undocumented migrants, despite vital contributions to aging economy.
Vietnamese workers in Japan, many under the Technical Intern Training Program, face heightened scrutiny and deportation risks amid Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s crackdown on undocumented migrants.
Despite contributing to Japan’s aging economy, especially in agriculture and construction, many overstay visas due to low wages and limited job prospects, leading to overrepresentation in arrests.
While foreign nationals make up only 5.5% of arrests, Vietnamese account for over 30%, mostly for theft.
Critics highlight systemic issues like exploitation and poor conditions, with around 6,500 trainees disappearing annually.
Japan plans to reform the program by 2027 with stricter rules, but concerns remain over worker protection and fairness.
