2-7-2023 The income of foreign workers has been greatly reduced.
They can only rely on instant noodles and vegetables for a living.
Ngoc, a Vietnamese engineer living in Osaka, is planning to return to Vietnam.
Due to the depreciation of the yen and increased inflation, his income has been greatly reduced.
In Japan, everything from groceries to electricity has risen sharply in recent months. Ngoc can only survive on vegetables, eggs and instant noodles. I used to spend 10,000 yen a week, but now it costs 15,000 yen.
In the past, the monthly electricity bill was about 20,000 yen in winter, but Ngoc paid twice the amount last time, and the average salary in Japan has been frozen for 20 years. Meals are also a luxury now. I only go to the supermarket when they are on sale.
