In an interview, an intern compared the work situation in Japan with modern slavery. We summarize below.
Reality differently than anime
For a long time, Chinese workers were considered very cost -effective, since they were used to nothing else due to the poor payment in their home country if they wanted to try their luck abroad. But now the situation would have changed significantly, as an emigration woman who came to Japan in 2015, explained.
Because of her anime passion and inspired by her favorite film “Your name”, Sun Li had emigrated to Japan full of anticipation, but she would have had to find out quickly that the reality looks very different than she was shown in anime.
In addition to cases of voyeurism, to which the Japanese police would not have received no greater attention, and in general unjust treatment, working conditions would be the same as the working conditions of modern slavery.
Before she came to Japan, she would have worked in a Chinese factory for clothing and earned around 3,000 yuan (around 360 euros) a month, which is why it was quite understandable at the time that she was looking for a job abroad.
Fewer and fewer workers
After her arrival in Japan, she earned a program as a technical intern – a program that enables foreigners to work in a company for a few years and to learn the language before you can enter permanently – immediately around 120,000 yen (around 735 euros). However, this salary is no longer considered reasonable, which has led to a historical low in the number of participants.
No wonder, after all, you earn in an ordinary factory in China, from where most of the workers have previously entered, now an average of 5,000 yuan (around 600 euros) – and that is completely without overtime, which in the case of technical interns in Japan would be good and like to be in the range of 80 hours a month and thus confirm their slavery comparisons.
Today Sun Li would not take this step again, since she would not have seen her family or free time over the years. Ironically, she still works and lives in Gifu, the city, which has served as an inspiration for the film »Your Name«.
