Abstract: To help a developed country with a decreasing population such as Japan, we analyzed the effectiveness of various economic policies for securing a sufficient amount of qualified labor by introducing foreign unskilled workers and training them in terms of skill. We found that under certain conditions, the government must announce only the required period of skill training, while the total number of skilled trainees must be considered to be endogenously given. Then, policies that would bring about change in the required period, encourage capital inflow or raise the penalty charge for illegal immigration may become effective.
