Why Are Salaries in Japan Lower Than in Western Countries? 🤔 Japan’s salary structure is shaped by history, culture, and economics. Here’s a quick look at the key factors: 👉 Economic Boom & Stability ・Postwar Japan’s “lifetime employment” system prioritized job security, gradual raises, and modest salaries to fuel industrial growth and global competitiveness. 👉 Cost of Living Balance ・Affordable healthcare, transport, and education offset high Tokyo rent, aligning with cultural values of frugality and gradual wealth-building. 👉 Currency & Perception ・A weaker yen makes salaries appear lower internationally, even as they support a comfortable lifestyle in Japan. 👉 Challenges Today ・Slow wage growth (~3.99% annually) highlights issues of stagnation, especially with a shrinking workforce. 💡 SHIFT’s Approach ・We’re breaking the mold with competitive salaries and annual raises exceeding 10% (FY2023: 11.0%), ensuring employees thrive both professionally and personally. #Salary #WorkinginJapan #Tokyo #JapanJobs #TechCareers
