Labour Migration from China to Japan

More about the book

Focusing on the educationally driven migration of Chinese students to Japan, the book provides an in-depth analysis of this significant yet often overlooked demographic. It highlights the journey of over 300,000 Chinese students who have come to Japan since the mid-1980s, many of whom transition into the labor market and remain long-term. By examining their labor market outcomes, the book sheds light on the broader implications of international migration and education in a globalized context, challenging perceptions of Japan as a non-immigrant society.
