This significantly reduces the stacking height compared to the originally planned 12-layer and 16-layer solutions.

This highlights the Japanese economys reliance on overseas labor, even as Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi seeks to tighten regulations targeting non-Japanese residents. A multi-option survey conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare showed that 68.2% of companies cited alleviating labor shortages as the reason for hiring foreigners. This reason has remained the top choice every year since the survey began in 2023. Approximately 56% of companies stated that they recruit based on the abilities and qualifications of foreign workers; 18% indicated they hoped to promote workplace internationalization. With Japans declining population and aging workforce, companies are increasing their recruitment of foreign workers to fill labor gaps, leading to a significant increase in the number of foreign workers. A report released this month by Teikoku Databank showed that more than half of companies reported a shortage of full-time employees. The survey also revealed that nearly 30% of companies reported an insufficient number of non-regular employees.Japans construction orders fell 13.4% year-on-year in July, compared with 2.3% in the previous month.
