Long-term Impacts of Study in Japan: Cases of Latin American Students

约30名在日本的拉美留学生接受了个人采访，他们在10多年前完成学业，生活在其他国家。那些与日本公民结婚的人倾向于认为日本是他们人生的主要阶段和贡献，但其他许多人认为他们可以为了更好的职业和生活搬到其他地方。那些生活在北美和/或欧洲的人通过不同的方式与日本联系，他们可以经常去拉丁美洲旅行。他们中的一些人目前还没有考虑回国，因为该国的社会条件。许多以前的学生在全球范围内流动和工作，赴日留学的影响正以各种方式在世界各地流传。“人才外流”现在可以理解为全球人才循环。

Personal interviews were made with about 30 Latin American former students in Japan, who finished their study more than 10 years ago and who live in a country other than their home country.Those who married with a Japanese citizen tend to think Japan is their main stage of life and contribution, but many of the others think they can move to other places for a better career and life. Those living in north America and/or Europe get in touch with Japan in different ways and they can travel to Latin America frequently. Some of them do not think of returning home for the social conditions of the country at the moment.Many of the former students are moving and working globally and the impacts of the study in Japan are circulating in various ways at various places in the world. The "brain drain" can be understood now as global brain circulation.
