日本正处于向一个更加开放的多元文化社会过渡的时期。人口萎缩和老龄化推动了该国移民法的变化，导致官方首次接受非熟练外国工人。但是，由于对外国人的增加所带来的社会影响的讨论很少，因此，日本可能会像其他传统的移民国家一样，出现社会包容和社会凝聚力问题。为了发挥研究者的作用，指出需要关注的政策和实践领域，本文对2010年至2020年这10年期间，以持有实习技术生（实习生）居留身份的在日外国人劳动者为研究对象进行了专题回顾。该审查指出了迄今为止在文献中发现的趋势，并确定了需要进一步调查的领域。特别是，审查侧重于对技术实习生的社会包容性进行的研究，以及在审查的论文中是否存在实习生的声音。调查结果表明，对农业和护理行业的研究存在偏见;目前对农村地区的研究超过了对城市地区的研究;通过收集原始数据纳入受训人员声音的论文数量相对较少。最后，本文提出了进一步研究这一主题的建议。
Japan is experiencing a period of transition to a more openly multicultural society. The shrinking and aging population has driven changes in the country’s immigration laws, leading to official acceptance of unskilled foreign workers for the first time. However, with little public debate on the social implications of increases in foreign residents, it seems that social inclusion and social cohesion issues may arise in Japan as they have in other traditional immigration nations. With a view to the role of researchers to indicate areas of policy and practice requiring attention, this paper provides a thematic review of research conducted in the ten-year period from 2010 to 2020 on the subject of the foreign workers in Japan holding the residential status of Technical Intern Trainee (gino jisshusei ). The review indicates trends found in the literature to date, and identifies areas requiring further investigation. In particular, the review focused on research conducted on the social inclusion of the technical intern trainees, and the presence of the trainees’ voice in the papers reviewed. Findings indicated that there is a bias toward research on the agriculture and care industries ; that research concerning rural areas currently outweighs research on urban areas ; and that there was a relatively small number of papers that incorporated the voice of the trainees through collection of primary data. The paper concludes with recommendations for further research on this topic.
