NEW DELHI -- Nepalese people are gaining a presence in Japan, known for their friendly demeanor at such workplaces as nursing care centers and convenience stores, filling a crucial position in a country that is in dire need of young, inexpensive labor.
"I'll work hard to learn about nursing care in Japan," said a 24-year-old Nepalese woman who is set to begin work at a nursing facility in Aichi Prefecture next month.
