Abstract

Japan scored a 5.91 out of 10 for the GCPI, placing it in the lower-middle of the “Maturing” band. Despite having decent maternity leave, paternity leave, and dependent care leave provisions, as well as workplace safety regulations, Japan does poorly when it comes to providing flexible work arrangements and nursing support at the workplace, bringing down its overall score for Sub-Index A to 5.58. Japan performs relatively better on Sub-Index B, scoring a 6.24. Japan’s rapidly changing demographics have created an increasing need for eldercare and growing demand for migrant workers to fill strategic gaps in the labor force. Migrant workers form the majority of domestic workers in the country and are regulated by specific laws, such as the Act on National Strategic Special Zones, whereas there are no legislations for local domestic workers.
