Young Indonesians train to become carers for Japan’s ageing society

1. Nothing new. They have been doing the same shit with Filipinos for a while now.

   Lots of training and very, very low pay. But some companies do offer the possibility of become seishain and get a “better” salary after they get the Japanese caregiving license.

   It’s not a good opportunity overall, but it might be good for Indonesian people, so congrats I guess

2. Aah, the famous slave visa…

3. Let me guess. Shit pay, no pathway for permanent residency, no visa renewals, no recourse if abused by an employer? It’s only a matter of time until the care industry in Japan runs out of Southeast Asian countries to siphon labor from.

4. I hope they get what they hoped for in Japan.
   Good luck to them.

5. And Vietnamese and Chinese, Philippino, etc

6. I agree with you that they could add more stuff to them, but Engineers are the same as any other class… higher class means more perk points. Do you also not grind iut Assaulter 2/3/4 classes? They don’t get anything extra compared to an Assaulter 1 if you judge the them with your logic

7. I’m genuinely curious if retirement homes would offer prayer rooms and cater to Indonesian diets. I would hope so. Several of my Muslim friends here say it can be hard to live but doable with the right frame of mind.
