TOKYO -- Nissan Motor is considering offering early retirement as early as fiscal 2025 to trim its Japanese workforce by several hundred jobs, part of efforts to turn around troubled operations through restructuring.

This would be the first attempt by the Japanese automaker to shed workers through early retirement in 18 years. The jobs targeted for elimination are all administrative positions.
