This article compares the public perceptions of various types of migrants in Japan and examines whether Japanese view them equally. Using an original survey, which presented six types of migrants that Japanese people most commonly face in their daily lives, I show several interesting results. First, respondents express the most negative views toward labor migrants. Second, respondents who have migrant friends tend to have more positive feelings for all types of migrants. In contrast, simple coexistence with migrants fails to enhance public sentiment toward labor migrants, particularly those whose stay is temporary. Overall, my statistical results suggest that Japanese people are not pessimistic about every kind of migrant, and their openness increases as migrants acculturate into Japanese society and interact with Japanese people. These findings provide evidence to influence policy discussions on whether Japan should recruit labor migrants in its current form in order to fight its aging population.

为什么按类型划分移民?:日本移民的接触和看法

本文比较了日本公众对各类移民的看法,并检验了日本人是否平等地看待他们。通过一项原始调查,该调查展示了日本人在日常生活中最常面对的六类移民,我展示了几个有趣的结果。首先,受访者对劳动力流动的看法最为负面。其次,有移民朋友的受访者往往对各类移民有更积极的感受。相比之下,与农民工的简单共处并不能增强公众对劳务移民的情绪,特别是那些临时逗留的人。总体而言,我的统计结果表明,日本人并不对每一种移民都持悲观态度,随着移民融入日本社会并与日本人互动,他们的开放度也会增加。
