Wages by Residence Status Category in Japan 2025
Technical Intern Trainees make ¥190k/month while Professional/Technical workers pull ¥313k that's a 65% gap within the same "foreign worker" bucket. And Specified Skilled, which was supposed to fix the intern program's problems, is somehow below the average. Japan clearly has a long way to go on this. I guess positive YoY is a good sign
Family of 5 wanting to relocate to Japan for change
Hi,
My husband and I love Japan. I probably have more of an obsession with the culture and history, and am learning Japanese. With the recent changes to Australia's budget/tax reform and implications on small business its making me consider more seriously about making the move. My husband has his own business manufacturing high end vehicles and I am a nurse/midwife. I would love to relocate to somewhere in Japan for a few years for a change and for the adventure of living overseas.
We have 3 kids 8, 4, 14 months.
What sort of prospects would my husband and I have for work?
I have been looking at moving into the pharmaceutical/clinical research side of health and have been sussing out companies that have branches in Japan..
Surely for my husband he would be able to get a job doing some sort of mechanical work?
