The claim
日本保守党・百田代表「これから2年で120万人超の外国人労働者を入れる」?
Original review summary
The review says the claim is misleading: the figure of about 1.23 million is an upper limit through the end of fiscal 2028, not the number of new foreign workers to be accepted over the next two years. The total includes foreign residents already in Japan.[S1]
Additional context
The review says the government set the combined upper limit for specified skilled workers and people in the new employment-for-skills system at 1,231,900 through the end of fiscal 2028. [S1]
