| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The subjective well-being (SWB) of Filipino nurses who moved to the UK in the workplace and in their lives was examined and compared with the case of Filipinos who came to Japan under the EPA scheme.
Filipinos who spoke English as an official language in the early stages of their stay also struggled to learn British English and to master online-oriented nursing practice. Salary and working hours increase SWB, but racism lowers SWB. In the UK, the W&L balance of family life, career prospects with progression up to head nurse, anti-discrimination laws against racial discrimination and a reporting system for offences were factors that facilitated permanent residency. In Japan, career prospects pathways, relaxation of spouse visa restrictions and legislation on discrimination are also required.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
国際移動の研究は、経済学の枠組みからの研究が多く、移動者の主体性を重視しコンテクストを入れて解釈していく質的研究は少ない。また主観的ウェルビーイングは、ポジティブ心理学で広く適用されているが、国際移動にその視点を取り入れたものは少ない。本研究は、国際移動を主観的ウェルビーイングでみたときの影響因を抽出し、先行研究の欠陥を埋めることができた。
外国人労働者受け入れを進める上で、差別禁止などの法制度の整備、外国人移動者とその家族を受け入れるサポート制度の必要など実践的な示唆を得ることができた。国際移動を、移動前、移動後、将来的展望に至る自己の再編プロセスとして捉える重要性の示唆を得た
