After the epidemic, countries are hungry for talents, and a "war for talents" is quietly emerging around the world!

Japan has also joined this "war for talent", but according to Japanese official data: the vast majority of Japan's high-end foreign talents come from China.

As the saying goes, butterflies come from the fragrance of flowers. One of the reasons why Chinese people immigrate to Japan is because it has a series of generous social benefits that guarantee the quality of life in all aspects!

01

medical insurance

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Japan's medical system has been ranked first in the world many times.

Japan has a universal health insurance system that covers all residents, including foreigners with resident status.

For example, if you hold a long-term residence visa, you generally only need to pay 30% of the medical expenses when seeking medical treatment, and the remaining 70% is borne by the government.

Specific groups of people bear less costs. For example, if you are between 70 and 75 years old, you only need to bear 20% of the cost. If you are over 75 years old, you only need to bear 10% of the cost.

In addition, Japan adopts a capping system for medical expenses, which limits the total amount of medical expenses an individual needs to bear within a certain period. This system prevents individuals or families from becoming poor due to illness.

Child care benefits

①Maternity subsidy

According to the Japanese government's new policy in 2023, women can receive a one-time subsidy of 500,000 yen each time they give birth. The Japanese government will also pay a "birth reserve" of 100,000 yen to each newborn to support the raising and care of the baby.

② Exemption from childcare fees

Japan waives childcare fees for children aged 3 to 5 years old. For multi-child families with more than 3 children, the Japanese government directly waives childcare fees for the third child aged 0 to 2 years old.

③ Maternity leave allowance

In Japan, you can take 98 days of maternity leave. During maternity leave, the employer needs to pay two-thirds of the pregnant woman's monthly salary. If the company does not provide this amount or the amount is less than 8,000 yen per day, the government will provide subsidies.

④ Parental leave

After maternity leave, there is also parental leave, which starts from the first day after maternity leave and ends when the child is 1 year old (up to 1 and a half years old). The salary received during the parental leave period is calculated as 67% (2/3) of the average salary in the 6 months before the start of the parental leave for the first 180 days, and 50% thereafter.

In addition, Japan also has childcare benefits such as childcare subsidies and nanny support systems.

03

Pension security

Japan's pension system is divided into "three pillars", namely public pensions, corporate pensions and personal savings pensions.

▶Public pensions, mainly divided into "National Pension" and "Welfare Pension", are mandatory full coverage and are the basis for pension security. As long as you pay insurance premiums in accordance with regulations, you can receive the basic old-age annuity when you reach the legal pension age.

▶Enterprise pension is similar to deferred salary. It is deducted directly from the salary by the enterprise and refunded in one lump sum upon retirement.

▶Personal savings pension is a fixed investment fund plan with the purpose of reserve pension and is responsible for its own profits and losses.

Under the protection of the triple pension plan of public, corporate and individual pension plans, Japanese elderly people can receive pensions that meet their old age needs.

04

Educational benefits

The quality of Japanese education has always been praised by countries around the world. At the same time, its education system is also one of the fairest in the world, providing equal educational opportunities to all residents. This is due to the government's multiple education subsidies:

▶ For children aged 3 to 5, kindergarten and nursery school fees are borne by the Japanese government.

▶ From primary school to junior high school, a nine-year compulsory education system is implemented. Public school tuition is free, and private schools also have corresponding subsidy policies.

▶For families with an annual family income of less than 9.1 million yen, the maximum annual subsidy for public high schools is 118,800 yen, and for private high schools, the maximum annual subsidy is 475,000 yen.

Many places in Japan recently announced that high school tuition will be free of charge. For example, Osaka announced that tuition will be free of charge for the third grade of high school in 2024, and that by 2026, all high schools will be free of tuition, regardless of family annual income and number of children.

In addition to the above benefits, Japan also provides pension subsidies, unemployment subsidies, subsistence allowance subsidies, single parent subsidies, housing subsidies, etc. to ensure residents' quality of life and improve their happiness!
