TOKYO -- "Who says Japan is not open to immigrants? Anyone with a B.A. (degree) can get a job here," said Yohei Shibasaki, CEO of Fourth Valley Concierge Corp, a leading headhunting firm headquartered in Tokyo that recruits from 130 countries.
Shibasaki, who also serves as a Ministry of Labor task force member on immigration policy, rattled off data showing not only that the number of foreign students graduating from Japanese universities has been increasing sharply, but that the percentage getting jobs after graduation is among the highest in the world.
