Foreigners work at nursing homes

Despite the recession, some companies or institutions want to increase the number of hiring.
The nursing homes that takes care of elders especially look for people who want to work there.
However, the field is not popular among young people, because the job requires physical work and the payment is not good enough..
Also, the population of Japan is said to be slowly decreasing.
Therefore the Japanese government allowed more foreiners to work in Japan.
Because of it, the number of foreigners who work at such fields increased by 30%, most of them are women from Philippines, China, and South Korea.
It's good for the field to hire them, beause I think the more people work in the filed, the more care they can give to the elders.
