几十年来，日本是世界上唯一一个不依赖非熟练外国劳动力的发达工业国家。对许多观察家来说，日本的情况表明，一个国家可以充分实现工业化，并保持高水平的经济增长，而不必依赖大量的移民工人。日本没有引进移民，而是通过有效地机械化和合理化生产，并进一步利用未开发的劳动力资源（女性和老年工人），满足了对非熟练劳动力日益增长的需求。由于日本坚持种族同质性，拒绝接受非熟练外国工人，日本被迫优化国内劳动生产率和供应，创造了一个高效和有竞争力的工业体系，能够在没有移民的情况下实现经济扩张。这隐含着一种“日本独特性神话”--日本经济体系之所以独特，是因为它建立在独特的日本民族文化品质之上。
For many decades, Japan was the only advanced industrial country in the world that did not rely on unskilled foreign labor. For many observers, the Japanese case demonstrated that a country could fully industrialize and sustain high levels of economic growth without becoming dependent on large populations of immigrant workers. Instead of importing immigrants, Japan was able to meet its increasing demand for unskilled labor power by effectively mechanizing and rationalizing production and further utilizing untapped sources of labor (female and elderly workers). Because of the country's insistence on ethnic homogeneity and its refusal to accept unskilled foreign workers, Japan had been forced to optimize domestic labor productivity and supply, creating a highly efficient and competitive industrial system capable of economic expansion without immigration. This implicitly sustained a “myth of Japanese uniqueness”—the notion that Japan's economic system was unique because it was based on distinctive Japanese ethnocultural qualities.
