Outline of Final Research Achievements

Given the population decline in Japan, this study compared the trajectories of immigrants' integration into the host society by nationality and by residence status. This study explored the way in which the context of reception for immigrants affected a likelihood of becoming unemployed during the period of financial crisis in the late 2000s. In this study, I used the data derived from the surveys for immigrants in Shizuoka Prefecture, conducted in 2007 and in 2009 to examine the economic situations among unskilled immigrants in Japan. What I found in this study is that a likelihood of unemployment in a given group of immigrants depended on the composition of trainees and technical interns in this group. After controling for this status of trainees and interns, we see that Latin American immigrants of Japanese descent were still likely to become unemployed than other immigrants because of their precarios nature of employment contract.
