Do you think Japan will Japan start opening their borders for more skilled immigrants in the future?

Question:

Their population is starting to fall and I'm wondering if this will pressure them to let more immigrants into the country so their economy won't fall or something. I like to learn languages and I was wondering what the chances were of me being able to go there in the future for a job with translation or something.

Just curious.

Answer:

Japanese people still do not want to accept many immigrants although population is declining in Japan. And it's not my personal opinion, though.

They know what happened to European countries who accepted many immigrants and don't want Japan to become like them.

So if Japan accepts immigrants, it would be only in fields without enough labor forces. They are like, agriculture, fishery, nurse, caregiver, etc.

Japan is already inviting nurses and caregivers from Philippines and Indonesia. And in agriculture and fishery, Japanese women do not want to marry guys in those fields. So Japan is actually inviting immigrants as wives because many guys in those fields are marrying non-Japanese women.
