在日本人口总量开始减少的背景下，地区差距问题在国内引起了极大的关注。近年来，外国居民的目的地选择是否有助于缩小这种差距？本研究的目的是利用2010年人口普查的微观数据，分析2005-2010年期间在日本境内流动的新移民和外国居民的目的地选择。将结果与1995-2000年期间的结果进行了比较。研究结果主要有三个方面：第一，本研究中三个理论观点（劳动力市场条件的影响、对同种族社区的吸引力和婚姻机会的空间分布）的实证有效性得到了与前一阶段相似程度的确认。其次，无论是对新移民还是对内部移民，服务业的拉动效应都远大于制造业。最后，虽然在内部迁移中存在明显的距离衰减趋势，但外国居民（特别是中国居民）已经表现出分散的趋势，包括郊区化。然而，如果2005-2010年观察到的外国居民的目的地选择作为一个整体持续到未来，它们最终将恶化而不是缓解差距。版权所有© 2015约翰威利父子有限公司
In relation to the beginning of Japan's total population decline, the problem of regional disparity has been attracting a great deal of attention in the country. Have the destination choices of foreign residents in recent years contributed to reducing such disparity? The purpose of this study is to analyse the destination choices of new immigrants and foreign residents moving within Japan in the period 2005–2010, using microdata from the 2010 Population Census. The results are compared with those obtained from the period 1995–2000. Three major findings are obtained: First, the empirical validities of three theoretical perspectives (effect of labour market conditions, attraction to co‐ethnic communities, and spatial distribution of marital opportunities) are confirmed to a similar extent in this study as in the previous period. Second, the pull effect of the service industry is much larger than that of the manufacturing industry, for both new immigration and internal migration. Finally, although there is an obvious distance–decay tendency in internal migration, foreign residents (particularly Chinese residents) have shown the tendency of dispersal, including suburbanization. However, if the destination choices of foreign residents observed in 2005–2010 as a whole continue into the future, they would eventually worsen rather than alleviate the disparity.
