Ministry of “Health, Labor and Welfare” has started to consider the deregulation of the EPA care worker program.
The care worker candidates will be able to work at a welfare facility for the aged, like a “life-care retirement homes for which there is a charged” while studying. And care worker will be able to work in hospitals or nursing care business fields too.
The Deregulation will start within 2016 fiscal year.
