研究実績の概要 |
Is migration a plausible option for combating aging and shrinking populations in countries with a strong emphasis on ethnic homogeneity? My research aims to analyze and assess the role of migration in combating negative demographic changes in East Asia. It focuses on the perception of migrants among the general public and political actors by conducting both quantitative (statistical analysis based on survey experiments) and qualitative (content analysis based on archival research and interviews) methodologies in Japan. To achieve this goal, I mainly spent my year to 1) collect literature on public opinion and multiculturalism, 2) review the Diet proceedings to trace perceptions of political actors, and 3) design multiple survey experiments to unravel public perception of migrants.

理由
My initial tasks for the first year of this project were: collecting literature (revisiting theories on anti-migration sentiment and ethnic nationalism and reviewing migration literature of Japan and Korea); designing and conducting survey experiments; and pursuing statistical analyses based on the obtained survey data. While I fulfilled my first task, I am currently in the process of finalizing my experiment designs. I plan to run the survey in the summer of 2023. I have made some changes in my plan, because, while reviewing and studying the relevant literature, I realized that it would be more fruitful to field this survey in multiple countries, beyond Japan and South Korea. Hence, I needed to explore migration issues outside of East Asia, such as Canada, Germany, and the United States.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
Based on the in-depth cross-national literature review on my topic, I have designed multiple survey experiments. I plan to submit them to the institutional review board (IRB) in May 2023, run pilot surveys in June 2023, and run the actual surveys in August 2023. Although the entire process for survey would take longer than I expected, I believe that this would provide me more solid and comprehensive results and interpretations. From fall 2023, I plan to look more deeply into politicians and bureaucrats by observing how their opinions have been exchanged and reflected in actual policy outcomes. From January 2024, I aim to conduct many interviews with not only politicians and bureaucrats but also non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to gather information as much as possible.

次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
I initially planned to field surveys in Japan and South Korea during my first year of this research. However, because I realized that I needed to conduct this survey in additional countries (e.g., Canada, Germany, the United States), the timing for the survey has been delayed. The major reason is that I needed to ensure that the survey design works in non-East Asian contexts and to figure out the most consistent way to measure public perceptions in both Asian and Western settings. Now that I have carefully designed experiments, I plan to use my grants from this and last years for the survey.
