| Research Abstract |
Japanese entered 2009 with a harsh employment environment. Foreign workers of Japanese ancestry are the only foreign workers who can legally be employed in Japan as unskilled labor. They are dispatched to factories by service contractors. These foreign workers work and live in an unstable labor environment, and will continue to do so until the distant future.
Production activities are contracting as a result of the global recession and the surplus workforce is being discharged as unemployed workers. Nevertheless, new immigrants continue to arrive because foreigner of Japanese ancestry are replacing other foreigners of Japanese ancestry. Most of the job advertisements appearing in Brazil after 2009 were for work in boxed lunch factories, delicatessen factories, and workplaces with low wages. Such low wage workplaces often recruit workers overseas.
