I will quote this section because I don't believe many people will read it:

It is the ¥1 million he borrowed to take part in the Industrial Trainee and Technical Internship Program, ostensibly to cover traveling expenses and other “fees” charged by middlemen.
The loan has left him a virtual slave to Japan’s labor-hungry construction industry. “I cannot go back before I make enough money to repay the debt,” he said.[/quote]
and
[quote] “It is also banned for employers to take away trainees’ passports,” he added.[/quote]
Japan is not Dubai, those "slaves" are not actual slaves, they are immigrants that borrowed a lot of money without means of paying that. I mean, really, what is the government supposed to do? What solutions are there? The video even mention they don't want to go back to their country.
The government already goes after the actual illegal cases:
[quote]“It is true that some involved in the system have exploited it, but the government has acted against that,”[/quote]
It's a shitty situation for everyone because while people are being tricked there isn't really a good solution. That type of thing happens in most western countries too with internships and so on, what solution is there?
Anyway, comparing those situations with actual slavery is insane. Slaves don't have a choice to go back.
