Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research focuses on the process of the improvement of social status in traditionally lowly regarded jobs such as the tanners and caregivers, how such low status could be improved by the influx of migrants in those sectors. In the Western and Asian societies, lowly regarded tanners position improved by the migrant population such as the Jews and Hakkas. When they succeed in working with the modern state, their traditional occupation no longer involved social stigma. On the other hand, Japanese tanners could not do so in spite of their contribution in the modern skinning and tannig technology. As for the low status of the care givers in Asia, Asian migrants' status as care givers improve in their host countries when their skills are recognized by the state, i.e. the national care giving insurance system. The improvement of social status therefore depends on the creation of the system of public recognition which is backed up by the state.
