Tokyo, Oct. 17 (Jiji Press)--Japan's labor shortage will reach 17.75 million hours per day in 2035, equivalent to 3.84 million workers, an estimate by Persol Research and Consulting Co. and Chuo University showed on Thursday.

The labor shortage is estimated to expand 1.85-fold from 2023, reflecting a decline in working hours per person as a result of work style reform and other initiatives, despite an increase in the number of workers.
