Tokyo (VNA) – Vietnamese Professionals in Japan organised an event entitled "The Debaters" in Tokyo on December10.

The event targeted the youngVietnamese community working in Japan, giving them information and options of whether to stay in Japan or leave the East Asian country given the weak yen and the fact that theJapanese economy faces challenging times.

Speakers provided the latestinformation on the labour market, economy, welfare and career opportunities, and the pros and cons of staying in Japan or leaving. This enabledparticipants to listen to diverse perspectives, absorb the information and thenconsider their career paths.

According to Nguyen Tuan Anh, a coordinator at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) - JapanCentre, the issue that foreigners working in Japan are most concerned about is that theyen has dropped more than 30% since the beginning of 2022, along with the risingcost of living in the East Asian country while salaries increaseinsignificantly. This has left the Vietnamese community in Japan facing manydifficulties in daily life, especially those who want to send money back home.

However, Anh said thatcurrent economic policies are helping export companies in Japan earn record-high revenue, bringing positive signs to the economy and an expectation thatthe yen will recover. Therefore, staying in Japan is a suitable choice,especially for those who are working in export-related fields.

Anh’s opinion was shared byspeaker Nguyen Thi Hong Nhung, Head of Human Resource Development Division at FPT Software Japan, saying Japan is gradually losing its position in the globalmarket. However, there are still opportunities to develop as Vietnamese people inJapan enjoy good social welfare, high quality of life and many incentives, sheadded.

Nhung emphasised that it isnecessary for young people to equip themselves with a global mindset, informationtechnology and digital transformation skills and enhance their exchanges to prepare well for their next stage of development./.
