Hi Blog. Here’s some very mixed news. The GOJ will study how to offer help unemployed NJ to make sure inter alia their kids stay in school. Thanks, but then it limits the scope to Permanent Residents. Probably a lot more of the NJ getting fired are factory workers here on visas (Trainee, Researcher, etc) that give the employer the means to pay them poorly and fire them at will already<\/a>. So why not help them too? Oh, they and their kids don’t count the same, I guess. Considering how hard and arbitrary it can be to get PR in the first place, this is hardly fair<\/a>. Expand the study group to help anyone with a valid visa. Arudou Debito in Sapporo<\/p>\n

TOKYO \u2014<\/p>\n

The Japanese government will establish an office to study measures to support foreign nationals with permanent residency status who lose their jobs amid the recession, Yuko Obuchi, state minister on Japan\u2019s declining child population, said Friday. \u2018\u2018We would like to expedite studying measures needed based on reports from people concerned on their actual difficulties and needs,\u2019\u2019 she said at a press conference.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Last month, Chief Cabinet Secretary Takeo Kawamura said Japan will provide support to foreign nationals with permanent residency who have lost their jobs and are suffering economic hardship amid the deteriorating economy. \u2018\u2018Japanese people are facing difficulties under current employment conditions, and foreigners must be facing more difficulties,\u2019\u2019 Kawamura said, adding that the government will set up a team to tackle the issue. The measures are expected to include one to help them find jobs and another to help foreign children attend schools, Kawamura said.
