Towards the Social Enhancement of "Overseas-Bound" Youth: Japanese Youth Searching for Work and Self in Globalized World

Kato代表研究员进行了5次田野调查（澳大利亚4次，加拿大1次），Kukimoto共同研究员进行了2次在线统计调查。Kato定性地分析了居住在海外的年轻日本临时居民对工作、生活和海外移民的看法，Kukimoto定量地比较了两组居住在日本的年轻日本人的看法，一组有海外经历，另一组没有海外经历。Kato还从性别研究的角度对工作和/或海外相关杂志进行了媒体分析。研究人员分享了他们的研究成果并交换了意见，准备合著一本书（目前正在进行中）。

The representative researcher Kato conducted five-time fieldwork (4 times in Australia, once in Canada), while her co-researcher Kukimoto twice conducted on-line statistic surveys. Kato analyzed qualitatively the views on work, life, and overseas migration of young Japanese temporary residents living overseas, while Kukimoto quantitatively compared those views of two groups of young Japanese living in Japan, one with overseas experience and the other without such experience. Kato also conducted media analysis of work- and/or overseas-related magazines from gender studies perspectives. The researchers shared their research results and exchanged opinions, preparing to co-author a book (now in progress).
