Newsweek Japan 2025/9/9 issue (released on 9/2) [From the Editor] Australia, which launched the working holiday program with Japan in 1980, is still the most popular destination for young people in Australia. The minimum hourly wage of approximately 25 Australian dollars (approximately 2,400 yen), more than double that of Japan, coupled with the weak yen, has attracted many young people, and in 2014, the number of Japanese people obtaining working holiday visas reached 17,000. Students can learn English while working, experience Australian life and culture, and save much more money than working in Japan. While this may seem like a rosy image, in reality there are “cruel stories” of Japanese workers being forced to do hard labor on farms, not guaranteed a minimum hourly wage, and harming their bodies with pesticides. Japanese workers are not paid the pension they are due, and are not protected by law. Ayumi Honda, a Japanese journalist based in Sydney, reports on this previously unreported reality.
