Aging far East countries.

[Cossack25A1]

Although the statistics was made way back in 2014, the percentage of the Philippine population whose age is below 25 years old is around 52.7%

Basically it goes like this.
0-14 years: 33.7%
15-24 years: 19%

For the median age, the statistics show that the overall median age is 23.5 years; the male median age is 23 years old and the female median age is 24 years old.

Life expecntancy is 72.48 years old, with the Filipino male life expectancy being around 69.52 years old and Filipino female life expectancy is around 75.59 years old, so basically Filipino women outlive Filipino men by roughly 6 years.

And 50% of the population is estimated in living in urban areas.

Employment rate is 94.4% while underemployment rate is 17.7% , labor force participation is around 63.3% and unemployment rate is around 5.6%; these were made back in October 2015.

There will be likely some changes when more data for the Philippine population 2015 is released.

Your immigration authorities lack of enough awareness of aging problem. A Japanese nationality also is less attractive, and the attraction is less and less. For the immigrants they also have many selections, i think most people lack of interest to narrow street and room. However, most other people in the world cannot endure narrow and petty space like Japanese can.

Our immigration ministry does an excellent job in bringing in the talent into Japan as per quota. I think they are 'too good' in the fact that the quota is a bit too small. I believe we can still maintain the stringent process of selection criterion while increasing the quota of immigration to Japan. I suppose the number of applications to Japan is testament of how foreigners want to live in Japan.

But you are entitled to your personal opinion of my country, however.

Basically it goes like this.
0-14 years: 33.7%
15-24 years: 19%

Such a young country !

Japan may boost immigrant numbers
Japan's Abe Is the World's Best Leader

@Nihonjin1051 bro, these threads and many more numerous threads about Japanese immigration, you were happy for professionals like nurses, dentists to migrate to Japan 200,000 per year. I don't feel like 200,000 per year is small number as you said here in this thread. I would say it is a large scale immigration. The reason behind accepting immigrants was to boost shortage labour force. You youtself said to me you want 4 children in your lifetime. Yet in this thread you are saying as if Japan does not need children. I see quite a big contradiction. May be I was misunderstanding something.

That is a cool young workforce. What Philippine need is some more industries to hite these excess workforce and Philippine economy will sky rocket.

@somsak ,

Stringent selection process is when we screen individuals for :

1. education
2. criminal background history
3. ability to speak japanese
4. ability to and or willingness to take up japanese nationality

Taking up nurses , dentists, and other educated professionals who want to come to Japan is perfectly alright. If they can pass the medical and nursing boards in Japan, can demonstrate their proficiency in Japanese language, can demonstrate their willingness and devotion to Japan --- why not !

As i have said, i am for string stringent immigration to Japan, so long as we bring in people who actually love Japan and who want to stay in Japan, contribute to the development and health of Japan and not become a threat to Japan.

Would you consider some immigrants from japanese wombs the best proficient in Japanese language, the best in assimilate to Japanese society, inheritly get japanese citizenship, the best among immigrants? If you say yes, why not quensh the labour thirsty with 100% of them? I would say its maximum solution to the problem of labor-society objective. won't you agree?

 

[Aepsilons]

The kinds of immigrants Japan needs:

Indonesian immigrants in Japan learning calligraphy; the lady in the left and the gentlemen in the center are Indonesian immigrants. The woman in the right is a Japanese calligraphy teacher.

Japanese citizens of Indonesian ethnic background. Their parents immigrated to Japan in the 1980s, but they were born and raised as Japanese. You see how they assimilated perfectly.

Naturally I would like to see more and more ethnic Japanese being born every year , after all Japan is the land of the Japanese, right? The current population demographic crisis Japan is experiencing in right now can be solved by mulifactorial strategies:

1. Bring in talent pool from around the world into Japan (must pass stringent immigration process)
2. Introduce new bills to facilitate greater live births

The former is a short term solution to a large demographic issue; the latter proposal is a long term solution and one that will require greater facilitation.

Thailand: the old man of Southeast Asia

Interesting, i didn't know that Thailand had a demographic issue going on there. I had the inclination that Thailand had a young population. Do you happen to know the reasons for this, @somsak ?

The key is more foreign investments as local industries are no longer enough to cope with the growing number of young workforce.

The bustling Filipino work force should come to Japan

Filipinos are heavily adaptable , in fact there are close to 250,000 Filipinos in Japan. The third largest ethnic minority in Japan, btw.

Filipinos adapt very well to Japan and mix between Japanese and Filipino can even pass for full blooded Japanese.

The key is more foreign investments as local industries are no longer enough to cope with the growing number of young workforce.

Better yet, Philippines should join into union with Japan. Hahahahaha!!

Aging is a major problem for Japan.

Aging is a major problem for Japan.

It is; it is a major problem from East Asian in general. South Korea, China, Taiwan as well as Japan.

 

[Echo_419]

BTW, unexpectedly Sub-Saharan region is doing better lately to catch economic and Human Resources Development, even better when compared to South Asia region

That will soon be fixed

BTW, unexpectedly Sub-Saharan region is doing better lately to catch economic and Human Resources Development, even better when compared to South Asia region

India and Bangladesh are on mission mode for this(like 90% of South Asia). After 5 years our stats will look way different and will show more progress than the last 10 years combined.

High education= high level of brain washed -> low fertility
Low income, far away from cities -> cannot afford birth control ->high fertility.
To solve fertity problem is easy. Just illegalize all birth control.

Yes, I guess you are right. Turkey's fallen GDP and India's $1700 USd GDP per capita are good examples.

I don't know if you're just dumb or too much of an idiot teenager to actually learn something.

Turkey's "fallen" GDP is due to currency depreciation...Turkey's consumption has increased manifold in last 15 years.

You might not like it, but having youth in your economy is an advantage. That's the reason even your government has lifted a one child policy. Everybody wants their nations to be 'young'...
