AB - This study explores the debate, policy changes, and social perceptions towards immigration in Japan. Until now, there has been no conventional conception of immigration in Japan, whereby a permanent-resident immigrant acquires nationality after a certain period of residence. However, the Japanese government has expanded its foreign workforce through various fragmented systems to compensate for the country’s labor shortage. As a result, the number of ‘consequential immigrants’ – rather than immigrants on the basis of permanent residence – has increased. So far, the Japanese government has maintained that it does not have an immigration policy, and so Japan's system for the social integration of ‘consequential immigrants’ has been relatively deficient. Meanwhile, the social perception towards immigration in Japan is not negative. This perception is based on the societal understanding that the labor force is insufficient in size, and that there has yet to be a welfare crisis in Japan caused by immigration.
