Informalization and Temporary Labor Migration
This article asks how Japan's Technical Intern Training Program (TITP) has promoted a transfiguration of employer into predator who utilizes fraudulent economic strategies to exploit trainees under the abusive conditions. Situating Japan's case within the global dynamics of temporary labor migration as well as drawing on the critical discussions about the 'informal economy', I argue that the formation and expansion of the unequal capital-labor po…
The Neoliberal Governance of Global Labor Mobility
One feature of the “age of migration” in which we live has been an increasing movement of labor from the Global South to the North, mainly in “low-skill” and low-wage jobs.

It does so through the notio…

Similar to Japan’s previous free trade treaties with Singapore, Mexico and Malaysia, the Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA) mainly concerns tariff reduction to facilitate bilateral exchanges of go…
Migration Workers as Political Subjects
Within the currently intensified labour flows from developing societies to highly industrialized areas, the Philippines has been the largest supplier of government-sponsored contract workers. Overseas contract employment was institutionalized by the Philippine government in 1972 to tackle the problems of unemployment and foreign debt. The remittances from migrant workers have become a major source of foreign currency for the national economy, whi…
