The Reality of Labor Conditions in Japan
There are many exploitative companies in Japan, and a Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare survey found that 80 percent of them violate labor-standards laws. Many firms impose over 100 hours of overtime per month, which is one of the criteria for karoshi determination, require Saturday or holiday work, and subject employees to long working hours. Power harassment is also rampant—Japan might well be called a late-developed country in terms of labor standards.
Although Japan is often thought of as an advanced nation, that image belongs to the past. According to 2024 IMF data on nominal GDP per capita, Japan ranks 38th—not a high position—and the era of “Japan as number one” is long gone. As a side note, Luxembourg is first, Ireland second, the U.S. 7th, Germany 17th, Hong Kong 20th, and the U.K. 22. Meanwhile, China and Taiwan, which are boosted by aggressive investment and talent development in semiconductors, the automotive sector, and AI—have been narrowing Japan’s share, and declining international competitiveness is seen as the principal cause.
