Japan has basically resorted to training and focusing efforts to increase the available labor pool, i.e via training and returning people that left the work force recently, who don't need training. Here, we are just not so inclined. From a recent article:
...“In Japan, the [labor] market is working as it’s supposed to work,” said Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies. He continued:
[Japan’s] tight labor market is prompting [business] efforts to draw more people into the world of work — which is what we should want. But what we’re doing [in the United States] is ignoring the social forces that are prompting Americans to drop out of the labor market and are just importing [foreign] replacements.
The replacement of Americans in their own society is the predictable result of establishment policy, but not an up-front purpose, he said:
I don’t mean this [replacement policy] in the kind of conspiratorial “Replacement Theory” sense. It is that the implicit [establishment] response to the social problems that are causing drops in the labor force participation rate is to say to troubled Americans, “Here’s your welfare check and your fentanyl, go to a trailer park, we’re going to import somebody else to do the work.”
It’s appalling and immoral … They’re just giving up on Americans, and figuring the immigrants will replace them because they’re somehow better...
