Formation et différenciation du marché des travailleurs étrangers au Japon

The rapid development of the labour market for immigrant workers even though it still officially represents only 1 % of the economically active population, constitutes an important socio - phenomenon for a country that remains committed to the principle of ethnic homogeneity. Rather than reporting on a possible increase in racism phenomenon (which already exists in the case of the Burakumin and Koreans), the author seeks to analyse the stratification of that new labour market on the basis of which he establishes a typology of the Asian countries for which Japan seems, in terms of employment opportunities, like a promised land. Is this the price to be paid for the internationalisation now much touted in Japan ? The government has hitherto sought to exert strict control over what certainly seems to it to be a threat to the uniqueness of a society that, historically and geographically, has been protected
