Three points from this article 1) The United Nations points out that there is a problem of labor exploitation in the Japanese anime industry 2) It may lead to boycotts by overseas distribution companies and consumers 3) It is essential to consider the sustainability of the production site, which is the creator The United Nations has pointed out that there is a problem of labor exploitation in the Japanese anime industry. If this leads to a boycott by overseas distribution companies and consumers, Japanese anime will not be able to grow. On September 9, 2024, the government held the first meeting of the Content Industry Public-Private Council, the first public-private organization to strengthen the anime and film industries. At the meeting, then Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said, “At content production sites, the environment in which creators can work with peace of mind has not yet been established in terms of working conditions and payment of wages.” The background to the Prime Minister’s remarks was the investigative report released by the United Nations on May 28th. The report is the result of a survey conducted in Japan by the United Nations Human Rights Council’s Working Group on Business and Human Rights from July to August 2011. The report also pointed out other industries, including the entertainment industry, including the former Johnny’s Entertainment (now Smile Up). ●The animation industry. The report pointed out that animators’ low wages, excessively long working hours, unfair contractual relationships, and contracts that do not protect the intellectual property rights of creators have created an environment in which they are vulnerable to exploitation.

>>10 That’s the nature of a country that has no resources and can only survive through processed trade. The only way to survive is to stay on the cutting edge or make better products at a cheaper price than others. It’s not like an Arab king’s country with oil fields that just flow when you dig.
This is to allow capitalists and sponsors to take as little risk as possible lol. The higher-ups are so risk-averse that the burden falls on the lower-ups lol.
Things have improved a lot recently. //oekaki-movie.com/column/animator-salary/ Average annual income of an animator According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare’s job information website “jobtag,” the average annual income of an animator is 4.61 million yen. In addition, according to the Agency for Cultural Affairs’ FY2022 Media Arts Collaboration Infrastructure Development Promotion Project’s “2023 Animation Producer Survey,” the average annual income is 4.55 million yen and the median is 4.22 million yen. According to the “Private Sector Wages Survey Results” compiled by the National Tax Agency, the average salary of salaried workers in 2022 was 4.58 million yen. In other words, the average annual income of an animator is roughly the same as the general average or slightly lower than average.
They’re going to destroy Johnny’s and leave male idols out in the street, then they’re going to destroy anime and leave animators out in the street, and the UN is only destroying them and not providing relief.
They are already being exploited, but then the government steps in with things like Cool Japan, taking cuts from the middlemen and forcing freelance animators out of business with invoices. It’s a dangerous world.
>>27 If China hadn’t expanded its military, the Ministry of Defense’s budget would have remained at 3 trillion yen per year. Now it’s over 6 trillion yen.
The Empire of Japan was destroyed after being blamed by the great powers for economically invading other countries by exploiting workers and producing cheap products.
They are powerless against the invasion of Ukraine and Gaza, and they are working hard to maintain peace and ignore conflicts between countries. I think we should seriously stop giving money to the UN. What is the purpose of the UN?
