Tokyo is one of the most technologically advanced cities on the planet, but Japan’s low birth rate and the diversifying interests of its young people are causing Tokyo to rely increasingly on skilled immigrant labor.

While the program cites one statistic saying 80 percent of Japanese citizens oppose foreign immigration, its anecdotal approach suggests more tolerance and sophistication. As the French CEO of the Nissan Corporation declares, Japan’s involvement in globalization is here to stay. (26 minutes)
