In the second half of the 1980s Japan has emerged as one of the new
major destination countries for migrants from Asia. The migrant
labour pool was then joined by Japanese descendants from South
American countries in the 1990s. Japan's policy of keeping the
labour market closed to foreign unskilled workers has remained
unchanged despite the 1990 immigration policy reform, which met the
growing need for unskilled labour not by opening the 'front-door'
to unskilled workers but by letting them in through
intentionally-provided 'side-doors'. This book throws light on
various aspects of migration flows to Japan and the present status
of migrant workers as conditioned by Japan's immigration control
system. The analysis aims to explore how the massive arrival of
migrants affected Japan's immigration policy and how the policy
segmented the foreign labour market in Japan.
