| Descripción: | Taiwan and Japan share the related problems of an aging population and low fertility rate, both of which have contributed to labor shortages in their nations. Although the two countries have been importing workers from abroad to compensate for labor shortfalls, Japanese descendants from South American countries and mainland Chinese have become the dominant alternative labor force in Japan, while in Taiwan migrant laborers largely come from Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines. Do migration trends into Taiwan and Japan have anything in common given the two countries' differing cultures and sources of migrants? What role do Chinese migrants play in both cases? To answer these questions, this paper examines labor importation in Taiwan and Japan by discussing the immigration policies of the two governments and comparatively analyzing the impact foreign migrants have had on Taiwanese and Japanese society. |
