The sad thing about this is that whilst there are large numbers of Brazilians in Japan (mostly as labour), they were the first to get the heave when the GFC came (about the time this post first hit the street). It's interesting that in Japan, whilst it's apparently illegal to employ and unskilled foreigner (really?... I wonder how many have been arrested on that one), the government has instigated a "foreign trainee" program that allows small business to "train" unskilled foreigners for below-award-rate pay. Slight double standards.</p> An interesting article… and good to see it re-freshed.

This is also why there are so many Japanese people in Peru as well, and why there are so many Brazilians living and working in Japan.</p> A good article.
