The employment forecast for Japan's Agriculture, Forestry, and Seafood industries indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with annual decreases in employment change percentages. This trend reflects a gradually lessening rate of decline, suggesting slight improvements in retaining or employing workers in these sectors despite consistent reductions. In 2023, the year-on-year change was already negative, showing considerable stress in labor markets relevant to these industries.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements which might replace human labor, altering employment patterns. Additionally, policy interventions and aging workforce issues could significantly impact labor dynamics, either stabilizing or further accelerating the decline.
