Abstract:
The current status of migrant integration in Korea seems to be far from ideal. The human rights violations against migrants remain common in the workplace and everyday life. The public’s perception and attitudes toward migrants have changed from paternalism to apathy, and is deteriorating to the level of hatred toward certain groups. Korean adults’ multicultural acceptance increased from 2010 to 2015, but has continued to decline since then. The level of social integration of migrant workers and married immigrant women, which are representative groups of migrants in Korea, is not high in both material and psychological aspects. Migrant workers have a high employment rate, but they work long hours in low-skilled, low-wage work, are exposed to non-payment or delayed payment of wages and physical and verbal violence, and their labor rights are greatly restricted. They cannot bring their families, and their opportunities to acquire permanent residency and nationality are greatly limited, so they are not subject to social integration. Marriage migrant women tend to have low employment rates, employment stability, and income due to their low age and education level, ability to understand Korean language and culture, the large age and cultural gap with their husbands, and the burden of childbirth and childcare. They are also dependent on their husbands because they need their consent when applying for permanent residency and nationality. The language and culture of their home country are not respected and they are under strong pressure to assimilate into Korean culture.

Abstract:
A small city-state with a highly developed economy strategically situated in Southeast Asia, Singapore is a major hub for migration/mobility in the Asia-Pacific region and has one of highest non-resident-to-resident population ratios in the world. While migration research has long noted that Singapore has a bifurcated foreign labour-immigration regime favouring the highly-educated/skilled migrants, more recent research seems to suggest that even the well-educated, professional, middle-class migrants are not exempted from insecurity and precarity under Singapore’s tightening immigration regime since the late 2000s and early 2010s. This talk draws on several strands of migrant-focused research that emerged within the past decade in Singapore, specifically offering insights from published and ongoing research (including several of the author’s own projects) about the settlement and integration experiences of migrant professionals (from Chinese and Indian backgrounds), immigrant-background teachers in mainstreams schools, and immigrant parents whose children go to government schools. It is argued that a common theme characterizing the experience of these diverse “migrant middle” groups in Singapore is a sense of insecurity resulting from increasing difficulties of obtaining a permanent foothold (permanent residency/citizenship) in the country. The paper also sheds light on how feelings of uncertainty, anxiety and precarity manifest in realms such as work and children’s education for these “insecure” migrant middle in Singapore.

Abstract:
The 2018 revision to Japanese immigration control law introduced new residential statuses, “Specified Skilled Worker” Types 1 and 2, and was widely reported as a significant policy change. The scheme certainly seemed novel in that it would apparently open the “front door” for foreign labor, with a prospect for long-term settlement. However, was it really a major departure from the previous Japanese policy toward labor migration? What implications does this new opening have for the acceptance of ethnic diversity in Japan? To tackle these questions, I revisit the late 1980s to early 1990s when the question of accepting foreign workers was a subject of heated debate in Japan. There were two major events: the revision to the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act, which went into effect in 1990, and the launching of the Technical Intern Training Program in 1993. My contention is that the 2018 legal change was similar to, and an outgrowth of, the pattern observed three decades earlier. Between 1990 and 1993, “side doors” were enlarged as alternatives to the “front door.” Likewise, in the 2018 law, skill categories were redefined to incorporate a broader set of occupations into what was acceptable as “skilled workers.” I will also discuss potential negative impact of the drive to increase migrant workers on efforts to develop an ethnically inclusive society.

Abstract:
The development of technology has enabled recent immigrants to be more connected with their home country after international migration. While numerous studies examine various aspects of immigrants’ transnational ties with their home countries, including political activities (e.g., voting in home country elections), economic contributions (e.g., sending remittances), social connections (e.g., maintaining contact with family and friends), cultural engagement (e.g., consuming cultural content exported from the home country), and medical practices (e.g., seeking medical treatment in the home country), the predominant focus has been on transnational ties among immigrants in Western countries. “The East Asian context remains underexplored in transnationalism literature, and I aim to address this gap by examining the frequency of social transnational ties, which is closely related to other fields of transnational ties, and its impact on the health of various immigrant groups in South Korea, a country transitioning into an immigrant-receiving nation. My studies indicate that the maintenance of social transnational ties with the home country varies among immigrant groups and generations. For example, foreign workers tend to maintain stronger ties with their home country than female marriage migrants. Furthermore, the ties are weaker among multicultural adolescents, the second-generation immigrants. The impact of social transnational ties also differs between immigrant generations. On the one hand, social transnational ties play a role as a buffer for foreign workers and female marriage migrants in regard to their physical and mental health. However, unlike the positive impact of transnational ties among first-generation immigrants, the negative impact of transnational ties was observed among second-generation immigrants; multicultural adolescents who maintain transnational ties are more likely to engage in delinquent behaviors and social withdrawal. These findings suggest the need for collaboration between the home countries of migrants and the government of the destination country to facilitate the establishment of positive transnational ties, transforming them into sources of support rather than stress, especially for second-generation immigrants Furthermore, future studies could apply qualitative methods to elucidate how transnational connections with the home country affect the health and behaviors of immigrants from diverse backgrounds, considering the characteristics and cultures of their home countries.

2023 VSJF Annual Conference 3rd-5th Nov. in Berlin (JDZB)
With great pleasure, we would like to announce the annual VSJF (German Association for Social Science Research on Japan) Conference 2023 from November 3-5 at JDZB (Japanese-German Center Berlin) in Berlin. This year’s conference theme is “Labor and (im)mobility in Japan and East and Southeast Asia: Transnational, regional and rural-urban perspectives”.
Lifetime full-time employment and the male breadwinner model have been recognized as key characteristics of the Japanese employment system. Nevertheless, demographic change, urbanization, and deregulation in employment have led to adjustments in the employment system, including the integration of women, the elderly, and international and internal migrants. At the same time, gendered forms of regular and irregular employment continue to persist in the Japanese labor market. This phenomenon is not unique to Japan, but can also be observed in other Asian economies, such as South Korea and Taiwan, which are exposed to similar economic, demographic and social changes. Furthermore, travel restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic and economic and social uncertainties have led to career, geographical, and social (im)mobility within and beyond borders.
This conference examines the complex interlinkages of (im)mobility and labor with demographic change, rural decline, the emergence of global cities and (offshore) economic zones, and the subsequent socio-cultural change in East and Southeast Asia. It provides a platform for discussing emerging trends and unexpected developments captured by empirical research on labor and (im)mobility within East and Southeast Asian economies. The conference seeks to disentangle local/municipal, national, and transnational processes of labor and (im)mobility in Japan and the wider region.
For a detailed conference program, please refer to the VSJF website: https://vsjf.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/2023_vsjf-final-short-program.pdf
Conference registration with information on the conference fees is expected to open from the end of September. As we encourage the participation of university students, we will provide a full conference fee waiver for up to 10 students.

Session: Gender in Skilled Migration: Beyond Western Perspectives
Research on international skilled migration has proliferated but the underlying belief of the “skilled” worker as a white-male individual has largely stuck. The lack of attention to female skilled migrants was partly due to the definition of skills as technology/educational certificate-centered professions predominantly occupied by men. Another reason was the trailing wives’ barriers to or withdrawal from the labour market given caregiving responsibilities. Skilled migration is also often associated with corporate expatriation, a phenomenon often known for Western firms that tapped into new markets and where the assigned expatriates were predominantly (white Western) men. In this joint session, we seek contributions of papers reflecting on international skilled labour migration and gender around the globe, specifically in non-Western contexts. We invite empirical and conceptual contributions that focus on the following questions: How has scholarship on gender in skilled migration beyond the West advanced – or challenged – the theoretical perspectives that originated in Western research? How does the intersectionality of gender, class, race, and skills play out in international migration? What can postcolonial approaches contribute to the field? How have family migration dynamics and power balances between breadwinner and trailing spouse changed amidst increased global migration and a diversification of emigration and immigration countries? The panel is particularly interested in papers on developed or rapidly developing countries or global cities as destinations, by which it seeks to discuss new approaches to gender in skilled migration from a non-Western/non-Eurocentric perspective.

An hour-long film documents the life of two Indian women migrants who moved to Japan more than a decade ago as trailing spouses. They were excited to be with their husbands and had no prior knowledge of the country. Looking into the lives of their relatives settled in the US, UK and Canada, they had similar expectations for their life in Japan. But the reality was different. Through their narratives we look into their past, present and future expectations, and their ‘position’ as Indian women, wives, mothers and workers in a foreign country, as well as the challenges they faced in ‘Finding their Niche’.

“Innovative Research Designs and Methods in Asian Migration Research: Embarking on Fieldwork in the 2020s”
Research designs, fieldwork techniques, and analytical tools for social science research have diversified in recent years. The pandemic was just one, albeit a crucial, turning point in considerations over research designs and methodologies. The spread of social media and digitalization however is a more long-term process that has urged researchers to reassess traditional research designs and add novel methodologies to their portfolio. Young scholars new to the research world and conducting a larger research project in the early 2020s face starkly different challenges and opportunities to those that senior researchers confronted. For example, the usability and reliability of new (digital) methods in an increasingly competitive academic world, where time in the field, availability of financial resources and even geographical mobility itself can no longer be taken for granted on the journey towards the PhD degree.
Research in migration, mobility and ethnic diversity in Asia adds further complexity to the picture of designing a research project and selecting suitable methods: We study those who are vulnerable, sometimes illegal, those who are discriminated/marginalized and have no voice in their current place of residence but also those who work-around-the-clock, who are hypermobile or whose visibility in their place of residence demands certain ethical and methodological considerations.
This workshop aims to bring together these challenges and offers a platform to jointly discuss new opportunities and constraints that arise in a rapidly digitalizing, pandemic struck world. We invite contributions from early PhD students, and late MA students who can demonstrate their plan of pursuing a PhD, who examine methodological issues related to migration, mobility and ethnic diversity in Asia. Questions and topics addressed can include but are not limited to
- Considerations of how to deal with (repeatedly) interrupted field work and thus fragmentary/insufficient data
- How to plan and conduct an on/off-research project within a limited budget and other issues, like time management and family responsibility
- Use of mixed-methods research designs and multi-sited research in migration/mobility and ethnic diversity studies
- Use of digital tools for participant recruitment, data collection, tracking spatial movements, or as an opportunity to develop novel research questions
- Discussion on ethical and methodological issues in fieldwork (in Asia)
The workshop would include student presentations and roundtable discussions. In addition, the organizers of this workshop (interdisciplinary migration scholars and trained in various methods themselves), will share hands-on research practices, discuss the pros and cons of traditional (publishing in journals) and creative (blogs, YouTube videos, etc.) ways to disseminate research outcomes and stimulate innovative ideas for building a young scholar’s career.
Application
The workshop will be conducted on 18–19 July 2022 at Goethe University Frankfurt. We welcome submissions from across migration, mobility and ethnic diversity research on Asia which are methodologically oriented in the social sciences. Please submit your short bio (100–150 words) and abstract (250–300 words), which discusses your (potential) research design or preliminary findings of your research. Once your abstract is accepted, please submit a short paper (1500–3000 words) describing your methodological concerns or fieldwork challenges.
