本章追溯了当地政府关于外国居民政策的发展。随着种族多样性的增加，他们的人数也在增加；从20世纪80年代开始的急剧增长导致2000年底有大约170万登记的外国人，占该国人口的1.3%(图1；但这一官方数字并不能反映日本社会真正的种族多样性，因为它既不包括逾期居留的无证外国人（截至2001年1月1日，估计总数为23万），也不包括那些在另一个国家扎根但通过入籍或父母一方是日本国民而获得日本公民身份的人。
This chapter traces the development of local government policy with regard to foreign residents. As their ethnic diversity has increased, so have their numbers; the sharp rise that commenced in the 1980s resulted at the end of 2000 in there being approximately 1.7 million registered foreigners, representing 1.3 percent of the country’s population (figure 1; Japan Immigration Association 2001) But this official figure does not reflect the true ethnic diversity of Japanese society, for it includes neither the undocumented foreigners—estimated to total 230,000 as of January 1, 2001—who have overstayed their visas, nor those who have their roots in another country but have acquired Japanese citizenship either through naturalization or because one parent is a Japanese national.
