Social Security Policy 3: Addressing labor as the population shrinks, immigration issues, and shifting role of women
At this session, Dr. Miyata focused on how the labor market will remain stable given the low rate of population growth and increasing proportion of older persons. He shared various policies that catalyze the health care industry while increasing efficiency. These include policies that integrate global standards for research and innovation, shift tasks by the utilization of nurse practitioners, and increase the use of non-hospital care settings. A guest speaker from the Foreign Workers Affairs Division of the Employment Security Bureau at the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare presented a comprehensive review of policies for integrating non-Japanese laborers into the work force. The discussion included ways that this policy will affect the increased need for health care providers.
