The Swiss–Japanese immigration puzzle

Economists are examining why Switzerland and Japan, both wealthy advanced economies, have taken such different approaches to immigration. Switzerland relies heavily on foreign workers, while Japan has long maintained restrictive policies despite an ageing population. The contrast raises questions about labour shortages, cultural attitudes, and policy choices in rich countries facing similar demographic pressures.

Why now: Ongoing debate in advanced economies over immigration policy and labour shortages makes the Switzerland–Japan contrast a useful point of comparison.
