Japan’s foreign population has hit a record 3.5 million amid a growing labor shortage, according to the Immigration Services Agency. 📈 With permanent residents totaling over 902,000, the rise is fueled by “specified skilled workers,” up 20.8% from 2023, and a post-pandemic tourism boom.⁠
⁠
Chinese nationals remain the largest foreign group at 844,187, followed by Vietnamese and South Koreans.⁠
