From: u:japan lectures : Department of East Asian Studies : University of Vienna <ujapanlectures.ostasien@univie.ac.at>
Date: 2023/10/27

Dear SSJ-Forum list member,
the Department of East Asian Studies - Japanese Studies at University of Vienna would like to draw your attention to the upcoming hybrid u:japan lecture:

Hirohisa Takenoshita:
"Immigrant Integration in Japan: Barriers and Challenges"

Date and time: Thursday, November 2, 2023, 17:00~18:30 (CET, UTC/GMT +1h)
The Zoom Meeting will be open from 16:45 (CET).
Max. 50 participants (on site) + max. 300 participants (online)

In this hybrid lecture Hirohisa Takenoshita (Keio University, Tokyo) discusses immigrant integration in Japan and focuses on economic and psychological integration. We also explore social and cultural integrations as predictors for economic and psychological integrations. Hence, we investigate integration from different angles and what hinders the integration of immigrants in Japan. We discuss the characteristics of the contexts under which immigrants are received in Japan. This discussion includes immigration control policies, labor market structures, and ethnic communities. 
To examine immigrant integration in Japan, we use the statistical data derived from the nationally representative survey targeting immigrants in 2018. To consider economic integration, we focus on the role of education and labor market segmentation in shaping logged hourly wages. For the study of psychological integration, we observe mental health and intentions to settle or return.

This will be a hybrid event, both live at the Campus of the University of Vienna and online via Zoom. Live participation is available for 50 people.
