Japan turns to Vietnam, Indonesia to tackle truck driver shortage

Japan is addressing its acute shortage of truck drivers by recruiting from Vietnam and Indonesia. The country faces a deficit of approximately 38,000 drivers, exacerbated by an aging workforce and strict overtime regulations.

This initiative not only helps in filling the labor gap but also aims to improve the working conditions for drivers by potentially reducing the long hours currently necessitated by the shortage. The recruitment drive is part of a broader strategy to integrate foreign labor into various sectors facing similar shortages, reflecting Japan's evolving approach to immigration and labor policies.
