Abstract:
This study examines the impact of the economic activities of Japan in the United States on the socioeconomic attainments of foreign-born Japanese male workers in 1979 and 1989. It demonstrates that working in wholesale trade, finance and manufacturing industries, three major sectors of Japanese investment in America, provided foreign-born male Japanese workers with the highest likelihood of assuming managerial positions. Moreover, the managerial occupation in turn provided the Japanese workers with the highest earnings returns. This pattern is consistent over time and by length of residence. The results suggest the importance of Japan's economic globalization since the 1970s in explaining the socioeconomic attainment patterns of foreign-born Japanese workers in the United States.

Abstract:
The article analyses the situation of enhancing diversity in human resources in some Japanese enterprises implementing diversity management. In 2012, Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry officially launched Diversity Management Selection 100-Collection of Best Practices. In particular, Diversity Management is a strategy for enterprises to utilize their human resources required for building competitive advantages in a market environment or a technology structure. This research finds that the concept of diversity in human resources of Japanese enterprises is quite diverse but mainly revolves around four main aspects: gender (female labor), age (senior labor), disability (people with disabilities), nationality (foreign labor). Secondly, in terms of diversification of employees, the Japanese enterprises focus on following priority order: female workers, disabled workers, elderly workers, and foreign workers. This is reflected in the number of programs promoting each type of worker as well as the number of businesses committed to creating favorable conditions for workers in Japan. Thirdly, increasing diversity in human resources not only changes corporate culture but also enhances corporate image domestically and globally. Therefore, diversity management is a new way to strengthen Japanese enterprises' competitiveness.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes recent policy reforms made to foreign care work in Japan. The two policy reforms discussed in this paper are 1. The expansion of categories in the Technical Intern Training Program (TITP) and 2. The inclusion of domestic workers into the Japanese labour sector through the use of National Strategic Special Zones. By analyzing these policymaking processes, the following four observations were made salient. 1. That policy reforms were largely driven by economic motivations; 2. That the policymaking processes that determined the nature of these reforms were led by politicians who were acting on behalf of the interests of business leaders; 3. That the Japanese government continues to utilize policies that deny labourers permanent residency or citizenship status, such as temporary worker programs, in order to avoid implementing migration practices that allow workers to become Japanese citizens; and 4. That the government holds contradicting attitudes towards care work, whereby eldercare is increasingly considered professional/skilled work, while domestic work is regarded as low/semi-skilled labour. These findings suggest that Japan’s foreign care immigration policies are designed to recruit temporary workers in ways that violate their human rights for the purpose of exploitation, in addition to the original goal of transferring skills to sending countries. With this in mind, I conclude my paper by arguing that these policymaking processes reproduce a gendered, racialized, and classed international division of labour and a global care chain

Abstract:
One of the reasons foreign workers are looking for jobs abroad is that there are not enough jobs in their home countries. Indonesia is one of the countries that send migrant workers to more developed Asian and Middle Eastern countries. The increasingly rapid flow of globalization in the world goes together with the need for new workers to fill the industry, especially in Japan. This condition has forced Japan to open doors for foreign workers from developing countries to satisfy demand. These workers usually come from developing countries, such as Indonesia, Vietnam, China, the Philippines, and others. In general, they occupy the less desirable working positions over Japanese youth, the so-called 3D work (dirty, dangerous, and demanding). Therefore, the current dynamics of these migrant workers' life in Japan becomes an exciting subject to comprehend, especially for the Indonesian migrant workers. This study aims to determine the dynamics of Indonesian worker's life while working in the Japanese fisheries sector. In particular, the study looks at those who work in oyster cultivation in Hiroshima prefecture. This research was carried out using descriptive analysis methods and field study with in-depth interviews conducted from 2016-2018. The interviews performed in this study were structured to find answers for the following questions: What problems do the workers face while living in Japan? What kind of processes did they go through before coming to Japan? While working in the Japanese fishing industry, how was their life as a Muslim minority?

Abstract:
This study compares the factors that are inferred to directly and indirectly influence the process of determining employees’ turnover intention in Japan. This study focuses on the differences made by firm type, that is, Japanese firms vs. foreign-owned or foreign-affiliated firms. Multiple-group structural equation modeling was attempted by applying factors such as perceived organizational support, the positiveness of a worker, firm-specific skills, organizational commitment, perception of career opportunities within the current firm and in other firms, and turnover intention. It was found that the inferred determinants of turnover intention differed by firm type; specifically, career prospects, either internal or external, do not directly affect turnover intention in Japanese firms. For workers in foreign firms, positivity is significantly higher than that of Japanese firms. Positivity plays a crucial role in both firms; moreover, our study provides supporting evidence of the existence of sub-markets in Japan and shows that the transition of workers from foreign-owned to Japanese firms might be rare.

Abstract:
This research is entitled, "The Effect of Demographic Transition on the Needs for Foreign Workers in Japan". The data from this study are from the distribution of questionnaires to students at Kobe Women's University-Japan and the results of interviews from a number of informants in Japan. From the distribution of the questionnaire, there were 70 data related to this research. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to answer the Japanese public's response to the need for foreign workers in Japan and the type of work that dominates foreign workers in Japan. This research will be studied from a socio-cultural point of view. The method used is an open questionnaire and a closed questionnaire with an advanced technique, namely interviews. The results of this study are that of the 70 informants, 60 people responded that Japan was being dominated by foreign workers and 10 more people said they did not agree with the statement. Regarding the dominant occupations carried out by foreign workers in Japan, among others, health workers for the elderly, manufacturing, shopkeepers who are open until late, and restaurants. The point is that it is a job field that is rarely liked by Japanese people and for foreign workers who do not use Japanese much while working. However, foreign workers who want to work in Japan should understand the culture and customs of Japanese society.

Abstract:
More and more foreign workers work in Japan year by year. However, there is a problem that a few foreign workers keep working in Japan. One of the reasons is the work attitudes of foreign workers is different from those of Japanese companies. Japanese companies want to fully understand their work attitudes so that they can develop foreign workers’ human resources appropriately. This study proposes a method for estimating the differences in the work attitudes from physiological characteristics during video watching. The method uses videos to collect psychological change points during the viewing. Pupil diameter is measured to estimate cognitive change while EDA is measured to estimate emotional change. Change points are detected from time series of the physiological characteristics to know the scene causing the changes. The work attitudes are also examined from questionnaires. An experiment reveals differences in cognitive change indicating that Japanese and Vietnamese have different views on work. It also showed that Japanese and Vietnamese have different attitudes towards work difficulties and responsibilities. Differences in emotional change indicated that Japanese and Vietnamese differ in the factors that cause emotional change. The findings can be used for human resource development to assign suitable work to foreign workers.

Abstract:
For many decades, Japan was the only advanced industrial country in the world that did not rely on unskilled foreign labor. For many observers, the Japanese case demonstrated that a country could fully industrialize and sustain high levels of economic growth without becoming dependent on large populations of immigrant workers. Instead of importing immigrants, Japan was able to meet its increasing demand for unskilled labor power by effectively mechanizing and rationalizing production and further utilizing untapped sources of labor (female and elderly workers). Because of the country's insistence on ethnic homogeneity and its refusal to accept unskilled foreign workers, Japan had been forced to optimize domestic labor productivity and supply, creating a highly efficient and competitive industrial system capable of economic expansion without immigration. This implicitly sustained a “myth of Japanese uniqueness”—the notion that Japan's economic system was unique because it was based on distinctive Japanese ethnocultural qualities.

Abstract:
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to ascertain the major characteristics of contemporary migrant workers in Japan. In order to illustrate their actual situations in relation to the socio-economic conditions and government policies, data have been gathered from relevant government sources and several surveys conducted by Japanese researchers.Design/methodology/approach The paper discusses social background, socio-economic factors and the public response to migrant workers in Japan. The focus is placed upon Japanese policy context and recent trend which demonstrates an increase in foreign workers. The main method is statistical analyses of the government macro data. In addition, some data from the relevant research outcomes are systematised.FindingsThe inflow of migrant workers has consistently augmented, and this has fostered the public debate. Some observers indicate that government deceitfully accepts migrant workers through the “backdoor” and the “side doors”. There has been some criticism, relating to the fact that increasing numbers of foreign employees include many workers with no formal qualifications, such as technical internships and international students who take on part-time jobs.Originality/valueThis article provides some factors for certain migration patterns, featuring contemporary Japan's migration issues. In conclusion, some uniqueness of contemporary migrant workers in Japanese community has been depicted, and the implications of these findings can contribute to prospective research, Japan's policy and practice in this field.

Abstract:
This research contributes to an understanding of Japanese Foreign Investment (JFDI) in Poland, by using a Variety of Capitalism approach and drawing on literature from employment relations. It examines firstly, the extent to which Japanese production and managerial institutions and practices can be transplanted to different economic and cultural environments; and secondly, the character of workers' response towards these practices, in the context of JFDI in Poland. It draws on primary data drawn from interviews conducted with the managers and workers in five firms in a Japanese electronics manufacturing cluster in Toruń, Northern Poland, as well as the policy makers, researchers and journalists on a regional level. First, the transfer of Japanese management 'style' is considered in terms of recruitment, training practices, issues of monitoring and discipline and quality assurance policies. This study reveals that the transfer of Japanese typical practices is of minor importance to Japanese corporations based in Poland, and the character of these practices in the Polish workplace is peripheral. However, the subordination of labour is brought by the precarisation of employment, rather than the implementation of Japanese quality policies. Second, the focus of the research is on the response of workers and finds that they did not remain passive actors in this process and resisted the adapted form of Japanisation in Poland. Although the role of formal trade unions was limited, the data pointed to other forms of resistance, both conventional and novel, from sabotage, absenteeism, humour to insubordination and the use of blogging sites. In the context of the researched labour process, the empirical findings point to markers of collectivism in all forms of worker resistance and hence identified that the collective worker not only has not disappeared from both the labour process debate and the workplace itself, but, even if not evidently, is present through the resistance to management practices and control.

Abstract:
Culture shock and reverse culture shock are profoundly personal experiences affecting individuals in a multitude of diverse ways. They happen inside each person who encounters unfamiliar events and unexpected situations. For people who work abroad (sojourners), cultural adjustment is a significant time in their lives. Following the examination of cultural adjustment, a review of literature is explored, highlighting sojourners' acculturation and coping strategies. A case study of the JET (Japanese Exchange Teaching) Programme is presented through an analysis of public documents and interviews with JET staff and former sojourners. Findings report that JET sojourners experience adjustment difficulties with reverse culture shock and that there exists an unavailability of resources providing support. Limitations of the study are highlighted; areas of weakness were found in the lack of literature addressing the needs and experiences of sojourners, particularly JETs. Recommendations and suggestions for future research in the field of social work are made.

Abstract:
The Pentecostal Movement was brought to Japan by the group of missionaries led by Martin L. Ryan in 1907. Although their own ministry in Japan was short-lived, they shared the Pentecostal message to William and Mary Taylor, who worked as Pentecostal missionaries in Japan from 1913. Estella Bemauer also worked as a Pentecostal missionary in Japan from 1910. Moreover, the Taylors and Beranuer worked with Makoto Niki and Ichitaro Takigawa, who had become Japanese Pentecostal ministers. However, all of these missionaries and ministers as well as many others have been forgotten and omitted from the official history of the Japan Assemblies of God (JAG), which emphasizes the work of the Carl F. Juergensen family and the Japanese minister who worked closely with them, Kiyoma Yumiyama. An accurate history needs to include all workers and to give an account of their various ministries. In the beginning, the Pentecostal missionaries worked independently and had a loose fellowship, but the forming of the Japan District of the American AG in 1920 resulted in a Japanese Trinitarian Pentecostal denomination, the Japan Pentecostal Church, which is the early forerunner of the Japan Assemblies of God. The Japan Pentecostal Church evolved and became the Japan Bible Church in 1929. Before it needed to dissolve because of new government regulations around the time of World War IT, the Japan Bible Church experienced a series of transformations: the split of the Takinogawa Mission as the Takinogwa Holy 1 r Spirit Church in 1938, the removal of missionaries from Japan in 1940, and the split of the Spirit of Jesus Church in 1941. I Before the war, missionaries and Japanese ministers worked together and formed a "mission," which became the place where they continued to do ministry. The relationship of missionaries and ministers differed with each mission. But ... gradually Japanese ministers gained a higher status, and with the break of WWII, the missionaries had to depart from Japan, leaving the Japanese ministers in charge. After the war, the JAG started as a Japanese led organization under the strong authority and leadership of its superintendent Kiyoma Yumiyama, while nevertheless resting upon the unique cooperation and a certain balance of power between the missionaries and Japanese ministers. The JAG had a lack of funds and was financially dependent on the missionaries, who often took the initiative to start local churches, for which there was a great need. But with the growth of the Japanese economy and development of the JAG, the missionaries gradually came to have a more subordinate role in the JAG. With the retirement of Yumiyama as superintendent in 1973, followed by the transfer of both the ownership of the property of JAG headquarters as well as the authority for Central Bible College from American AG to the JAG in 1975, the post war era of the JAG's history had come to an end. The JAG had become a more autonomous and independent denomination.

Abstract:
By removing restrictions on entry and residence for foreign-born people of Japanese descent, the amendment of the Japanese Immigration Act in 1990 facilitated economically-motivated migration from South America, particularly from Brazil, which is home to the largest overseas ethnic-Japanese (Nikkei) population. This study is designed to explore interactions of the following two salient consequences of this ethnic-priority immigration policy. Despite the principle that "non-skilled foreign workers are not admitted for employment purposes" being retained under the country's immigration policy, the ethnic-priority feature of the amended Immigration Act has been utilised as a "side door" through which an increasing number of Japanese Brazilian migrants have been absorbed into the low-skilled end of the Japanese labour market. While their intensive concentration in unstable labouring jobs is raising concerns over their labour market incorporation and economic advancement, a considerable proportion of these Japanese Brazilian migrants are now prolonging their stay, or settling, especially with the growth of the "second generation" immigrant population. To achieve the aim to explore aspects of employment and settlement and their interactions, this study employs a comprehensive framework linking economic causes to social and demographic consequences of migration of Japanese Brazilians to Japan. In addition to a range of secondary data analysis, this study presents both quantitative and qualitative analysis of primary data drawn from an original survey specifically designed for the purpose of this study. The results of the demand-side analysis that contains examination of the factors associated with utilisation of foreign workers in the manufacturing sector - by far the largest employer of Japanese Brazilian migrant workers- depicts the vulnerable status of their employment which is firmly embedded in the restructuring process that has generated the burgeoning demand for a low-skilled and flexible workforce. In contrast to their intensive concentration in unstable labouring jobs in the peripheral segment of the Japanese labour market, Japanese Brazilian migrants are from diverse background in terms of education and occupational status in Brazil. The contrast between the homogeneity in employment status in Japan and the heterogeneity in socioeconomic and human capital background in Brazil is reflected in differentiated levels of satisfaction with labour market outcomes in Japan. The results of analysis of earnings determinants indicate that Japanese Brazilian workers are not rewarded on the basis of their individual human capital. Rather, it is social capital that determinants labour market incorporation and wage outcomes for this economically disadvantaged and institutionally vulnerable immigrant group. Japanese Brazilian migrants' insensitivity to engagement in these unstable and low-skilled jobs - that provide little opportunity for skill attainment and occupational mobility - can be explained by their initial economically-focused "temporary" migration strategy, with which they are committed to the main purpose of migration such as hard work, saving, and remittances. Their initial migration strategy is to work hard, save much as they can, and remit savings to Brazil. The intention to be a "temporary'' migrant worker, however, is not a fixed propensity but a variable one that changes over the course of a migration career generating a set of irreversible changes. Although various factors contribute to this process such as the development of social connectedness and the reinforcement of economic attachment in the destination, the most salient aspect associated with the prolongation of stay- or the transition from a "sojourner" with a "target-earning" migration strategy to a "settler"- is family reunification and new family formation in Japan. This new phase in the settlement process raises concerns over children's education and future opportunities, and thereby complicates the migrants' struggle with the gap between the evolution of family circumstances and the continuity of engagement in unstable and vulnerable jobs. This further confuses the development of the family's future settlement strategy with ambiguity and uncertainty that characterises the concept of "settlement" among Japanese Brazilian migrants in Japan.

Abstract:
Murakami’s early writings are littered with names of various foods and dishes. Often appearing in the context of descriptions of dates with girlfriends or lovers, they in turn become associated with sexual interactions. However, they are not the sorts of dishes one expects to see in a conventional Japanese household. They are almost invariably foreign dishes or mere accompaniments for drinks. Whilst the famines of wartime and postwar Japan did much to disrupt traditional household diets, Murakami’s predilection for foreign cuisine distances his writings even further from Japanese territory. This tendency is particularly evident in his early works.As has been well documented, following his eight-year sojourn abroad, the Great Hanshin Earthquake of January 1995, and the sarin gas attacks by the Aum Shinrikyo on the 20th of March that same year, Murakami’s perspective shifted from one of ‘detachment’ to one of ‘commitment’. However, an examination of food-related passages—and the sexual interactions that often follow—reveals a different picture. Despite Murakami’s shift to ‘commitment’, these scenes consistently depict a self-contained protagonist who makes no effort to allow women entry into his inner life. The protagonist is either unwilling or unable to comprehend the woman-as-other, a stance that I argue persists until the 2010’s. Accordingly, this paper will examine juxtapositions of food and sex from Murakami’s earliest works to Onna no inai otokotatchi (Men Without Women, 2014) and Kishidanchōgoroshi (Killing Commendatore, 2017).

Abstract:
Abstract A chronological glance at Homunenkan (Justice Annual), the Japanese Ministry of Justice’s annual report of its activities, reveals that during the period of high economic growth from the 1950s, the main thrust of the Immigration Bureau’s operations was directed at illegal entry from the Korean Peninsula. From 1951 to 1969 the total number of illegal entrants prosecuted was 31,562, or an annual average of 1,661, of whom North and South Koreans accounted for 29,740, or 94.2 per cent. This was at a time when 300,000 foreigners were entering Japan annually (1965 figure).

Abstract:
This chapter draws together themes of previous chapters as it explores how maritime unionists navigated the massive changes in shipping, in an increasingly corporatised and globalised capitalist world. The chapter takes the instance of a strike against the contract employment of Japanese seafarers on the Australian coast to illustrate how issues of racism and militancy in defence of Australian jobs was manifested in the 1960s as the White Australia policy was ending. Militancy was also evinced in defence of a national shipping line to give jobs to Australian seafarers. The focus then shifts to the attacks on dockworkers. In 1990 the ITF adopted a Port Workers Charter in response to exploitative changes being implemented against European dockworkers. In Australia militancy over the right to unionise in the face of government attempts to break their power irrevocably, led to a major dispute in 1998, ‘the battle that changed Australia.’ The chapter illustrates continuities in the history of Australia’s maritime unions and how the trajectory of their internationalism came to a head at the end of the twentieth century when the ITF and its affiliates helped them survive another targeted attack.

Abstract:
One year before the COVID-19 pandemic, the Japanese government revised its immigration law to attract new foreign workers and deal with labor shortages in key sectors. In April 2019, the revision went into effect, and since then, Japan has been accepting foreign workers under two types of “specified skills” visas 􂢩􁇊􁢰􃜭 tokutei ginō. This article is devoted to the question how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the adoption of the new immigration law and what impact this law may have on Japanese society after the end of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract:
The article explores the problem of an acute shortage of labor resources in modern Japan as well as ways to solve it by changing the migration policy. Nowadays, many industries already cannot survive without the migrant workers from abroad. The situation is becoming a stalemate, as the country is already dependent on foreign workers, but still avoids the general idea how to create the mechanism for their legal mass arrival. Also, the government claimed a new plan to develop inbound tourism, which also increases the burden on the domestic labor market. The socio-cultural adaptation of migrants to life in Japanese society is one more problem to be solved.

Abstract:
"Although Japan has not traditionally been considered a multicultural nation or possesses anything resembling an open immigration policy, it is rapidly becoming more and more diverse. Events like modifications to the nation’s immigration regulations in April 2019 and the recent proposed scrapping of the 5-year term limits on accepted “temporary” foreign workers (Category 1 Specified Skilled Workers) have ostensibly led to a quiet opening to unskilled foreign workers for the first time in the nation’s modern history. While Japan’s hand may have been reluctantly forced by serious labour force shortages in many sectors of the economy, it is undoubtedly the beginning of the creation of an even more ‘multicultural Japan’; providing further impetus to the pressing challenge of creating a society where diverse peoples can live together in harmony. Yet, despite these changes and the obvious implications they have for the future, very little consideration has been given to allowing for - and accommodating - greater diversity into the nation’s schools. There is a great risk that without preparation now, the already emerging signs of distress in the education sector (language problems, truancy, drop-out rates, bullying, etc.) will only escalate. In other words, in order for Japan to prepare to accept even a modest increase in the number of newcomers, teachers and education officials need to undertake greater training to enable them to understand and assist in the successful integration of future migrant children. Based on interviews, literature and a review of the recent educational situation in the light of these changes, this paper aims to ascertain whether greater inclusivity training is required, and if so, what it should entail. To allow for greater support of non-Japanese students into Japan’s education system, it concludes with a tentative proposal for what future educational training courses should consider, how they could be incorporated into teacher training curricula and the overall potential benefits for society in general."

This document is about foreign workers in Japan, the evolution of immigration policy in this country, working conditions and social security. In order to sustain the Japanese economy and its society, the United Nations, OECD, and the Japan Business Federation (Nippon Keidanren) have suggested that Japan should allow several tens of thousands of foreign workers to enter Japan annually.

Abstract:
The world has been increasingly interconnected both economically and politically ever since the end of the World War II. In addition to the increase in the movement of goods (international trade) and the movement of money (foreign investment), we have observed increased amount of movement of labor (international migration) in various parts of the world. For example, European countries, notably Germany and France, have accepted a large number of migrant workers from neighboring countries for many years. In the United States, huge number of migrant workers, both legal and illegal, have been flowing from various countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. While Japan had been a fairly closed country to foreigners for many years, the influx of migrant workers emerged in the mid-1980s when an economic boom brought about serious labor shortage created an economic boom. Initially, most of these foreign workers are illegal migrant workers from neighboring Asian countries. However, since the revision of the Japanese immigration law in 1990, there has been a dramatic influx of the Latin American of Japanese origin (Nikkei) because these people are now allowed to do whatever activities in Japan, including an unskilled work that is prohibited to foreigners in principle. The number of these Latin American migrants is estimated to be around 150,000 to 200,000. This paper analyzes the recent experiences in the economic and social impact of international migration from Latin America and Asia in Japan.
