Abstract

Japan welcomes highly educated migrants, but do these migrants stay on in Japan? Drawing on a web survey of 600 immigrant employees working in Japan, this paper evaluates different factors influencing migrants’ stay and leave intentions. The results indicate that economic and employment-related reasons have limited impact on migrants’ stay intentions. Nationalities also predict migrants’ varied willingness to stay in Japan, indicating the blurring boundary between economic and cultural logics of migration. Among all factors, marrying locals provides the strongest incentive to stay, demonstrating again that affective and social ties exercise the most power in anchoring the migrants.

高技能亚洲移民留在日本的逻辑

日本欢迎受过高等教育的移民，但这些移民会留在日本吗?本文通过对600名在日本工作的移民员工的网络调查，评估了影响移民逗留和离开意愿的不同因素。结果表明，经济和就业相关原因对流动人口停留意愿的影响有限。国籍也预示着移民留在日本的不同意愿，这表明移民的经济和文化逻辑之间的界限越来越模糊。在所有因素中，与当地人结婚提供了最强烈的留下来的动机，再次表明情感和社会关系在固定移民方面发挥了最大的作用。
