Japan is well-known for its electronics manufacturing industry, which creates a high demand for labor exports in this field. The work is not overly physically demanding, and the income is relatively good, making it a popular choice for many workers who want to go to Japan.
Exporting labor to Japan in the electronics industry typically involves three main sectors and eight different types of jobs. The three main sectors are: assembling electronic devices and machinery, assembling electrical devices and machinery, and printed circuit board (PCB) production.
Based on these sectors, you can imagine that the main tasks for workers in Japan would be component assembly. These are considered relatively simple tasks in an electronics production line, which is why there is a constant need for a large workforce, although the job requirements are not too high.

Labor export in the electronics industry generally has relatively strict requirements. Based on the job orders received by KTM Invest from Japanese partners, there are common criteria for workers in the electronics industry, including:
1. General criteria:
- Age: Typically between 19 and 30 years old.
- Education: Completion of high school (at least).
- Height: Minimum of 1.48 meters.
- Weight: Minimum of 40 kilograms.
- Health condition: Specific health conditions apply, and you can find detailed information on the latest health requirements for working in Japan.
2. Salary:
Labor export in the electronics industry attracts workers partly due to the salary level. Currently, the average monthly salary for workers is around 130,000-150,000 yen.
Additionally, there are many opportunities for overtime work in this industry. Workers can earn extra income ranging from 125% to 200% of their regular wages for overtime hours.
3. Advantages of the job:
Labor export in the electronics industry mainly involves simple tasks that do not require high specialization. With a high demand for workers and a large number of job opportunities, it is relatively easy to get selected. This is advantageous for many rural Vietnamese workers.
Moreover, the work in the electronics industry has fewer occupational hazards compared to other industries. The tasks also do not require extensive physical exertion, unlike fields such as mechanical engineering or construction. The working environment is typically indoors, within factory premises, so it is not as harsh as outdoor professions like construction or agriculture. After completing the contract, workers can easily find employment in domestic electronics companies.
4. Challenges:
The target group for electronics job orders is generally unskilled workers, without extensive requirements for experience, skills, or craftsmanship. The tasks mainly involve simple work in manufacturing plants, such as product inspection and assembly. Thus, there is limited opportunity to learn new and advanced skills.
As the electronics industry operates on production lines, there is pressure to meet time targets, with limited breaks compared to other fields. Typically, workers are allowed short breaks of 5-10 minutes after 2 hours of work and a 1-hour lunch break after 4 hours of work. This can lead to stress and monotony for the workers.
These are some key points about labor export to Japan in the electronics industry. I hope this information provided by KTM Invest gives you a general overview. If you have an interest in participating in electronic job orders, you can contact KTM Invest for consultation using their phone number.
