Japan – Government to invest in reskilling workers (Asia News Network)

30 May 2022

To promote labour mobility in growth fields, Japan’s government will offer workers reskilling opportunities and help with finding new jobs based on a package of measures worth JPY 400 billion (USD 3.14 billion) over three years, reports Asia News Network. The government aims to help about 1 million people, including non-regular workers, develop skills and find new jobs as part of measures to invest more in human resources, according to a draft plan. The draft will be presented Tuesday to a meeting of the council to realise Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s new form of capitalism policy. The government aims to fine-tune the draft with the ruling parties and have it approved by the Cabinet early June.
