In recent years, the number of Indonesians among foreign workers in Japan has been rapidly increasing. JAC is conducting seminars and other activities for Indonesians who wish to work in Japan. We conducted a survey among Indonesians who are hoping to work in Japan about their impressions of working abroad and of Japan. Here are some of the results.
| Period: | February 3, 2024 |

| subject: | Participants in the job information session |
| Method: | Internet and email survey (multiple-choice format) |
| Number of answers: | 51 Indonesians |
What are your thoughts on working abroad and on Japan?
What methods do you often use for gathering information?
*These are responses from participants in the job information session.
They also utilize social media platforms that are familiar in Japan, such as YouTube and TikTok.
Like Japanese people, most Indonesians use smartphones to gather information online. They also actively participate in seminars and other events.
If you were to work abroad, what would you prioritize?
*These are responses from participants in the job information session.
It is clear that many people working in the Japanese construction industry aim to acquire advanced skills.
Many respondents indicated that while salary is important, they also place importance on aspects such as insurance, compensation, living environment, and interpersonal relationships at work.
If you were to work in Japan, how long would you want to work?
*These are responses from participants in the job information session.
Those who answered "5 to 10 years" may have a clear dream or goal in mind and are planning to come to Japan!
The most common answer, "3 to 5 years," indicates that people are planning to utilize the current "Technical Intern Training Program." Surprisingly, the "no limit" option suggests that a similar number of people intend to continue working in Japan.
What are you interested in regarding Japan?
*These are responses from participants in the job information session.
The fact that they are equally interested in "working environment," "living environment," "technology," and "famous places" suggests that they have high expectations for working in Japan.
The responses were almost evenly split, but the most frequent response was "safe and hygienic living environment." It seems that the comfort of Japanese housing is well known in Indonesia as well.
