Outline of Final Research Achievements

A survey of university and junior college students in the Marshall Islands and Kiribati was conducted on their intentions to move abroad and the reasons for doing so. In both countries, better education was cited most often as the main reason, followed by work, health and family. The percentage of students who wanted to migrate because of climate change was small, especially in the Marshall Islands.
A survey of immigrants from the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau in the United States found that many of them were poorly prepared in their home countries prior to emigration and were only placed in low-skilled occupations due to a lack of English language skills and education.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

国土がサンゴによって作られる環礁だけからなる国は、気候変動による海面上昇の結果、国が水没してしまうことが予想される。そうした国のひとつであるマーシャル諸島からは米国に多数の住民が移住している。マーシャル諸島に住む大学生は、より良い教育、医療、家族との同居が移転の理由であり、気候変動を理由としている人は3%にとどまっていた。一方、米国在住のマーシャル人は母国に帰らない理由として多くが海面上昇などの環境悪化を理由としている。
