Activité économique et croissance des communautés japonaises en Grande Bretagne

Japanese economic activity and community growth in Great Britain. Louise Hurdley and Paul White. Japanese inward investment in Great Britain has been associated with the development of manufacturing activities within areas offering government assistance, whilst all forms of service activities have been concentrated in London. Japanese economic activity has been associated with the relocation of Japanese personnel, primarily for management and specialist functions. During the 1980s the number of Japanese residents in Britain grew at a faster rate than almost any group from the developed world. Although London houses the majority of these migrants, there are significant numbers in other locations throughout Britain, associated with manufacturing investments. The distribution of the Japanese in Britain is therefore highly distinctive in comparison to the distribution of other foreign or ethnic minority groups. In particular, there are now small Japanese communities in several towns where they constitute one of the biggest immigrant or ethnic minority groups, and they are particularly located in high status neighbourhoods. The evidence presented in this paper comes from unpublished data from the 1991 population census
