Book Synopsis Immigration Policy and Foreign Workers in Japan by : H. Mori
Download or read book Immigration Policy and Foreign Workers in Japan written by H. Mori and published by Springer. This book was released on 1996-11-04 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second half of the 1980s Japan has emerged as one of the new major destination countries for migrants from Asia. The migrant labour pool was then joined by Japanese descendants from South American countries in the 1990s. Japan's policy of keeping the labour market closed to foreign unskilled workers has remained unchanged despite the 1990 immigration policy reform, which met the growing need for unskilled labour not by opening the 'front-door' to unskilled workers but by letting them in through intentionally-provided 'side-doors'. This book throws light on various aspects of migration flows to Japan and the present status of migrant workers as conditioned by Japan's immigration control system. The analysis aims to explore how the massive arrival of migrants affected Japan's immigration policy and how the policy segmented the foreign labour market in Japan.

Book excerpt: First Published in 1995. The issue of foreign workers in Japan has already reached a turning point, as they are quickly changing from a flow into a group of settled residents. This change has been accompanied by a great deal of research in Japan, but there have been precious few attempts to grasp the problem in a unified manner, and this book, based on the author’s own field research, represents such an attempt.

Book Synopsis Foreign Workers and Law Enforcement in Japan by : Wolfgang Herbert
Download or read book Foreign Workers and Law Enforcement in Japan written by Wolfgang Herbert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a detailed study of the extent to which an increased influx of foreign workers is a threat to law and order in the context of the data-generating process of police statistics and the media coverage of "crimes" committed by foreigners. It shows that a general mood in which foreign workers are viewed as potential danger to Japanese society "protects" the criminalization of foreign "illegal" migrant workers. The work begins by tracing the upsurge of "illegal" foreign workers in Japan. It builds a social profile of these "illegals" showing that because of fear of expulsion, lack of knowledge of the law and over-dependence on employer and workplace, their ability to avail themselves off the protection of the law is neglible, and they are always at risk of becoming victims to multiple exploitation.
Book Synopsis Foreign Help Wanted by : Mr.Giovanni Ganelli
Download or read book Foreign Help Wanted written by Mr.Giovanni Ganelli and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data and anecdotal evidence suggest that Japan is suffering from labor shortages, which are large in an international perspective, have a negative impact on potential growth, and reduce the effectiveness of monetary and fiscal stimulus. This paper focuses on policy options to ease Japan’s labor shortages. In particular, we focus on possible measures to increase reliance on foreign labor. Other policy recommendations to deal with shortages include policies aimed at increasing female labor participation, encouraging wage growth, increasing investment, as well as training and other active labor market policies.

Book Synopsis Effects of Immigration in Japan by : Muneyuki Saito
Download or read book Effects of Immigration in Japan written by Muneyuki Saito and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to an aging population and falling birthrates, the labor force in Japan will continue to decline in the next decades, and per capita income is also likely to decrease. To address this problem, the Japanese government is considering relaxing restrictions on foreign labor, and there have been debates regarding accepting foreign workers in Japan. Current Japanese law imposes strong restrictions on unskilled foreign labor; thus, relaxing these restrictions will lead to an inflow of unskilled foreign workers into Japan. However, few studies have analyzed the possible quantitative effects of such measures. Using a simulation based on a computable general equilibrium model, this paper analyzes the quantitative impacts of the foreign labor inflow on the Japanese economy. Our model is a recursive dynamic model from 2010 to 2030 with 32 sectors. We categorize labor into the following two types: skilled and unskilled. In the main scenario, we assume an inflow of 5.32 million unskilled foreign workers, which is equal to half of the labor force decrease in Japan. The results of the main scenario are summarized as follows. First, foreign labor inflow lowers the wage rate of unskilled labor but raises that of skilled labor and the rental price of capital. Second, the inflow increases the GDP, income, and consumption, but the increases in income and consumption are very small compared to the increase in GDP. Third, the inflow has very different impacts on the different sectors. Fourth, we show that a policy limiting the sectors that accept foreign labor does not necessarily increase the output of these sectors. Finally, we show that if we accept not only unskilled but also skilled labor, the impacts on wage rates change significantly.

Book Synopsis Immigrant Japan by : Gracia Liu-Farrer
Download or read book Immigrant Japan written by Gracia Liu-Farrer and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigrant Japan? Sounds like a contradiction, but as Gracia Liu-Farrer shows, millions of immigrants make their lives in Japan, dealing with the tensions between belonging and not belonging in this ethno-nationalist country. Why do people want to come to Japan? Where do immigrants with various resources and demographic profiles fit in the economic landscape? How do immigrants narrate belonging in an environment where they are "other" at a time when mobility is increasingly easy and belonging increasingly complex? Gracia Liu-Farrer illuminates the lives of these immigrants by bringing in sociological, geographical, and psychological theories—guiding the reader through life trajectories of migrants of diverse backgrounds while also going so far as to suggest that Japan is already an immigrant country.
Book Synopsis Brokered Homeland by : Joshua Hotaka Roth
Download or read book Brokered Homeland written by Joshua Hotaka Roth and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faced with an aging workforce, Japanese firms are hiring foreign workers in ever-increasing numbers. In 1990 Japan's government began encouraging the migration of Nikkeijin (overseas Japanese) who are presumed to assimilate more easily than are foreign nationals without a Japanese connection. More than 250,000 Nikkeijin, mainly from Brazil, now work in Japan. The interactions between Nikkeijin and natives, says Joshua Hotaka Roth, play a significant role in the emergence of an increasingly multicultural Japan. He uses the experiences of Japanese Brazilians in Japan to illuminate the racial, cultural, linguistic, and other criteria groups use to distinguish themselves from one another. Roth's analysis is enriched by on-site observations at festivals, in factories, and in community centers, as well as by interviews with workers, managers, employment brokers, and government officials.Considered both "essentially Japanese" and "foreign," nikkeijin benefit from preferential immigration policy, yet face economic and political strictures that marginalize them socially and deny them membership in local communities. Although the literature on immigration tends to blame native blue-collar workers for tense relations with migrants, Roth makes a compelling case for a more complex definition of the relationships among class, nativism, and foreign labor. Brokered Homeland is enlivened by Roth's own experience: in Japan, he came to think of himself as nikkeijin, rather than as Japanese-American.
