【Reconsideration for Technical Intern Training Program in Japan】
Did you know that the government is considering to consolidate the Technical Intern Training Program and the specified skilled worker system?
It is expected that Technical Intern Training Program and the specified skilled worker system might be consolidated due to having some issues.
In principle, people who are working under the Technical Intern Training Program cannot change jobs and are not allowed to bring family members with them. In addition to many problems of non-payment of wages and human rights violations, trainees incur a large amount of debt due to paying “fees” and “security deposits” to sending organizations in their home countries.
It is also pointed that it might lead to disappearances and illegal employment in Japan.
What do you think about it?
I will pursue this topic up until this to make cabinet decision.
【技能実習生制度の検討について】
政府が技能実習制度と特定技能制度の一元化を検討していることをご存知ですか？
技能実習制度と特定技能制度は課題もあり、統合される可能性があると予想されています。
技能実習制度で働いている人は原則として転職できず、家族の帯同も認められていません。研修生は賃金未払いや人権侵害などの問題が多いほか、母国の送出し機関への「手数料」や「保証金」の支払いなどで多額の借金を抱えている状況です。
また、日本でも失踪や不法就労につながる可能性も指摘されています。
あなたはこのニュースについてどう思いますか？
閣議決定するまでこのテーマを追求してまいります。
