Japan’s Economic Decline: Man-Made Disaster Caused by Labor Policies Treating Workers as Costs

Despite being the world's third-largest economy, Japan ranks 32nd in GDP per capita, leaving its people impoverished. 

This is all a man-made disaster caused by policymakers and business executives treating people as costs, cutting regular employees under the guise of Global Standards. 

How far will this so-called world advocating "freedom and democracy" continue to widen the gap between humans? 

Lamenting carelessly, Japan seems to be slipping away from the developed world without notice. 

Despite being the third largest economy in the world, Japan ranks only 32nd in terms of GDP per capita as of 2022.

Japanese people have become poorer.

Considering a country with no resources and unable to achieve food self-sufficiency, its transformation into an economic powerhouse might have been a miracle. 

Japan, once a populous country, has painfully lost the ability to compete globally with a strategy based on a vast pool of young and talented manpower, due to its declining birthrate and aging population.

The root cause lies in policymakers and business executives belittling Japan's skilled workers, treating them as mere costly entities compared to their overseas counterparts. 

Consider the amount of time and money required to develop each individual into competent professionals. 

Despite claiming to adhere to Global Standards, this country has imitated the US and Western countries, constanttreating its workers as nuisances by laying off regular employees and increasing non-regular ones. 

All due to the incompetence of policymakers and business executives, Japan lost in international competition, yet started blaming and mistreating the workforce, leading the country astray. 

It should be said that the stagnation of the Japanese economy is a man-made disaster caused by policymakers and business executives who ceased to value their skilled workforce.
