The government has shifted policy to actively accept foreign workers to make up for the labor shortage. However, with an inconsistent and ad hoc policy, can we really accept foreigners into Japanese society as people who can live alongside us? We consider immigration policy based on the activities of APFS, which has supported foreign residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"Immigrant selection," "immigration management," and "exclusion" are becoming increasingly strict, especially in developed countries. This program reports on the latest immigration policies and the treatment of irregular residents in eight countries, including Japan, and questions the meaning of the "voice" of those seeking legalization and the significance of the activities of the civic group APFS, which is working to obtain special residence permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What options should Japan adopt as it faces a serious decline in the birthrate and an aging population?

Should we accept a large number of immigrants to maintain economic growth, or should we accept limited numbers of immigrants in order to achieve a certain level of stability? This book provides a multifaceted approach to indicators and perspectives for each reader to consider the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
