AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Aging Japan: Japan’s centenarians have topped 100,000 for the first time, reaching 107,677 as of Sept. 1, with women making up about 88%. Work & Wages: Part-time pay rose to 1,350 yen an hour, over 20% above the legal minimum, with the biggest gains in jobs that AI can’t easily replace. Hiring Push: Companies are expanding training and revising promotion systems to attract spring 2027 high-school graduates as labor shortages bite. Energy Security: Inpex says strong buyer interest is building for its Abadi LNG project in Indonesia, seen as valuable amid Middle East strait risks. Trade: Japan logged a fourth straight monthly trade deficit in August as imports outpaced export growth. Defense & Industry: The U.S. is weighing buying warships built in Japan and South Korea to counter China, while Japan approved $635M in investments for five shipbuilders. Tech & Society: Japan’s Digital Agency says 246,000 personal records may have been exposed in a breach. Sports & Culture: The Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya are ramping up, with organizers using a cruise ship for accommodation; meanwhile, Japanese-Korean actress Yuri Nakamura died at 44 after rectal cancer.
