[Research News] Opening borders for workers: Abe’s profound influence on Japan’s immigration regime
New study by Mr. Maximilien Xavier Rehm, a PhD candidate at the Graduate School of Global Studies, Doshisha University, explores how the late Prime Minister’s reforms set the stage for a potential transformation of Japan's immigration landscape.
Japan’s immigration policies underwent numerous changes during late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s second term from 2012 to 2020. Yet, the government denies having a formal immigration policy. A study by Rehm suggests that despite the government’s denial, Abe’s reforms laid the groundwork for bringing a fundamental change in Japan’s immigration regime. However, this change is yet to occur, highlighting the far-reaching implications for policymakers and foreigners in Japan.
