Were I nearly as eloquent in explaining my concerns about Japan as you are Henry.

I saw a statistic in the Financial Times where they claimed that 1 in 6 Japanese citizens is either in, or near, retirement age. They expect this to increase to 1 in 4 within 10 years.

Here in the US we compensate demographically for an aging population through our immigration policies, bringing in younger workers to meet the manpower needs.

However, I don't see the same hospitality extended toward foreign workers in Japan, certainly not in the realm of extending citizenship.

Japan is a homogenous society and very susceptible to demographic changes.

Again, an excellent response on your part.

Regards,

Ron
