Description

The purpose of this paper is to investigate salient features of migrant workers in Japan and to analyze their economic impact on the host country. In the analysis, the clear distinction is made between “permanent migrants” and temporary “guest workers.” Using a general equilibrium framework, we found the following three points:<BR>(i) In Japan, most of migrant workers are characterized as temporary guest workers rather than permanent migrants;<BR>(ii) Admission of guest workers has negative economic impact on host country, unless the scale of admission is very large;<BR>(iii) Admission of permanent migrants is better than that of guest workers for host country.
