The Impact of Foreign-born Care Worker Share on Regional Elderly Mortality Rate: Seven Years After Japan Introduced the Nursing Care Visa
Japan faces a critical shortage of care workers due to its rapidly aging population. To address this gap, the country has increasingly relied on foreign-born Certified Care Workers (CCWs) following the introduction of the Nursing Care visa in 2017. However, the impact of this policy on elderly health outcomes remains unclear. This study examines whether the share of foreign-born CCWs affects regional elderly mortality rates in Japan. Using prefecture-level panel data from 2017 to 2023 and fixed-effects models, we do not find significant association between the proportion of foreign-born CCWs and mortality rates among those aged 85 and above. This result may reflect either the current number of foreign-born workers remains too limited to influence the elderly health outcomes, or that their quality of care is comparable to that of native workers. Either way, the finding supports the continued use of immigration policies to address Japan’s care workforce shortage. This study contributes new empirical evidence from an Asian context, where research on this issue is still emerging.
