| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project aims to consider how the postwar female Japanese immigrants utilize their ethnic networks for their mutual support. On the basis of 1) interviews with Japanese immigrants who voluntary immigrated to SF Bay area after the Second World War and engaged in various Japanese networks created in the local area, and 2) secondary data analysis of The New Immigrant Survey, the investigator found the following results.
Japanese immigrants living in the area constructed some NPOs early in 1970s to help Japanese seniors living in the area. They also created temporal supporting groups for Japanese mothers or pregnant Japanese women most of whom are marrying across national boundaries. Just like previous studies mentioned immigrants utilize their ethnic networks for their social-economic success, this study clarified the ethnic networks also work as substitute family systems which can cover the shortage of their Japanese relatives in the US and support the well-beings of their lives.
