Worrying about the 311 Miyagi earthquake and tsunami is not enough. Now we have to worry about it.

Labor Shortage

Problem.

Japan's knitting, weaving and sewing industry employs tens of thousands of foreign trainers, most of which are 3 years of technology pfer from mainland China, India and Philippines.

The Japanese Textile Association (TheJapanTextileFederation) estimates that 3/4 of the people have left Japan after the big earthquake. Many people are worried about the pressure from their parents.

The above-mentioned foreign laborers went to Japan on the basis of the government authorized mechanism. About 200 thousand people were employed in Japan before the earthquake, and about 27.6% of them were employed in the garment manufacturing industry.

The Japan Textile Association said it did not know the explicit figures of foreign trainees leaving Japan for refuge, but it was estimated that about 30 thousand people did not return to work.

According to the law, foreign trainers in Japanese enterprises should not exceed 20% of the total number of employees. If the trainers do not come back, the industry will be forced to substantially reduce production.

While production is moving abroad, Japan's domestic enterprises continue to operate in the form of high quality and high value added products, but the whole industry may collapse due to the Miyagi earthquake and nuclear accident.
