最近，从事低技能兼职工作的国际学生人数有所增加，这就提出了一个问题：他们毕业后是否被纳入东道国的劳动力市场，如果是，又是如何被纳入的？本文通过考察在日本的南亚和东南亚学生的情况来解决这个问题。使用定量和定性的数据，本文表明，劳动力市场的纳入发生在大多数SSA学生，并采取两种不同的形式。首先，利用日本学生服务机构的数据库对毕业后的学生就业途径（2014-2017年）进行了分析，结果显示，主要的就业形式是作为低技能的兼职人员（再）就业。这些学生大多数就读于职业学校，毕业后转到另一所学校，这实际上意味着他们作为兼职学生的身份的延伸。第二，虽然也有作为全职工人加入公司的情况，但对这些工人的采访表明，他们被雇用为服务于移民人口和/或补充本地出生工人短缺的劳动力。基于这些结果，本文认为，SSA学生在日本被纳入东道国劳动力市场的补充，日本的新的人口现实创造了劳动力需求。
A recent increase in the number of international students employed in low-skilled part-time work raises the question; are they incorporated into host labor markets after they graduate, and if so, how? This article addresses this issue by examining the case of South and Southeast Asian students in Japan. Using both quantitative and qualitative data, this article shows that labor market incorporation occurs for most SSA students and takes two different forms. First, an analysis utilizing the Japan Student Services Organization datasets on student pathways after graduation (2014–2017) revealed that the primary form is their (re)incorporation as low-skilled part-time workers. Mostly enrolled in vocational schools, these students go on to another school upon graduation, which in effect means an extension of their status as student part-timers. Second, while incorporation as full-time workers also occurs, interviews with these workers suggested that they are employed as a workforce that serves the migrant population and/or supplements shortages of native-born workers. Based on these results, this article argues that SSA students in Japan are incorporated into the host labor market as complements to the labor needs that Japan’s new demographic reality has created.
