Japan as an Immigration Nation

In this treatise by veteran Japanese immigration specialist, Hidenori Sakanaka—the former director of the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau—proposes sweeping changes to Japan’s immigration policy to address the interrelated problems of a rapidly declining population and a decrease in working-age adults.

Hidenori Sakanaka established the Japan Immigration Policy Institute and is the author of almost two dozen books about immigration policy in Japan.
