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

对30多名曾在日本留学的拉美学生进行了个人采访，他们在10多年前完成了学业，目前生活在国外。那些与日本公民结婚的人倾向于认为日本是他们生活和贡献的主要舞台，但其他许多人认为他们可以移居其他地方以获得更好的职业和生活。那些生活在北美和/或欧洲的人以不同的方式接触日本，他们可以经常去拉丁美洲旅行。他们中的一些人考虑到目前国家的社会状况，不考虑回国。许多以前的学生都在全球范围内移动和工作，在日本学习的影响以各种方式在世界各地传播。“人才流失”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.
