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

对在日本留学10年以上的拉美裔留学生约30人进行了个人访谈，结果发现，与日本人结婚的人认为日本是他们人生的主要舞台和贡献地，但也有很多人认为，为了更好的事业和生活，他们可以移居到其他地方。居住在北美和/或欧洲的人以不同的方式与日本联系，他们可以经常前往拉丁美洲。他们中的一些人因为当时的社会状况而不想回国。许多以前的学生都在全球流动和工作，在日本学习的影响以各种方式在世界各地传播。“人才外流”现在可以理解为全球人才流动。

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.
