Know the reality of viral breeding visa : India has recently overtaken China to become the world's most populous country. This situation is a sign of many opportunities as well as challenges for the country. World Population Day is celebrated to spread awareness and find solutions to the issues of increasing population. Meanwhile, a news is going viral on social media, claiming that Japan has started a policy of giving 'fertility visa' to foreign men, so that they can come there and have children. However, this claim is not completely true.
The truth behind Japan's new visa policy
According to Japan's leading news agency Kyodo News, Japan has not introduced any such “breeding visa”. The news and claims circulating on social media are misinterpreting this new visa rule. Japan has changed its visa rules to facilitate foreign workers to come and work there. However, under these new rules, the period of stay has been increased to 5 years, which will allow foreign workers to stay and work in Japan for a longer period of time.
Japan's population problem
Elderly population : About 29.1% of Japan's population is elderly, which is a serious problem. This aging population is causing a shortage of young workers and this is affecting the economy.
Population decline : Japan's population continues to decline and the birth rate has fallen. Japan's population is expected to reach 126 million by 2024 and this decline is expected to continue.
Japan's visa policy changes are made to address a shortage of foreign workers and are not intended to increase the population or specifically encourage foreign men to “have babies.” This policy change is a way to address Japan's shortage of working population, which is essential for economic growth and social stability.
