![]() ![]() ![]() It is my hope that both Japanese and non-Japanese will gain insight into these issues from the ideas shared by the interview subjects appearing in this book. ![]() Therefore, this book is for readers who are interested in Japan ─ whether they are Japanese who are searching for measures to address the aforementioned problems or whether they are non-Japanese who are wondering how the Japanese will manage the challenge of integrating foreigners in a society where it can be notoriously dif ficult to belong (even, in many cases, for the Japanese themselves). Moreover, as progressively larger numbers of non-Japanese settle in Japan, these new residents are grappling socially, economically, and existentially to find their places here. Preface My intention in this book is to address a pressing question: As the Japanese population dwindles and the number of foreign workers allowed in the country increases to compensate for the existing labor shortage, how can we improve the acceptance of foreign people into Japanese society? The Japanese are quite concerned about the future of their countr y because the labor shor tage stemming from shifting population dynamics is already being felt and projected to worsen in coming decades. ![]()
