[摘要] :
當社會面臨少子高齡化以及全球化下頻繁人流的衝擊,適度地透過外籍勞動力填補國內原本不足的勞動力成為一種必然的選擇。然而,與台灣、香港、韓國等地不同,日本長久以來對於外國人非專業性勞動力抱持矛盾的對應心態。名目上堅持不開放的國家立場,但實際上則透過研修生、技能實習生等方式引進相對低廉的外國勞動力。由於不願正視藍領外國人勞工的存在必要性,因此衍生出更多社會問題、人權侵害問題。為了改善這些狀況,2010年起日本開始實施新的「技能實習」居留制度,企
圖藉此改善長久以來受到詬病的人權侵害等問題。本文之目的即在於以日本外勞政策中有關單純勞動工作者的引進制度為對象,透過戰後以來日本社會的變動以及全球化脈絡下的「外國人研修制度」政策的背景進行分析,嘗試論述日本外勞政策上的制度變遷,以及日本未來在外籍勞工管理政策上的問題點。

[英文摘要] :
Facing the move towards an aging society coupled with a declining birth rate, Japan
government has struggled with the shortage of labor force, especially in the field of
unskilled labor. Even though facing the labor shortage, unlike Taiwan, Hong and Korea,
Japan government has not opened the “front door” to the unskilled foreign workers.
However, Japan tried to introduce unskilled foreign labor by the “side door” which means
so-called “Training Program”. Under such a training program, a foreign worker can enter
Japan domestic labor market in the name of “a trainee”, but not a worker. In other words, a
foreign trainee working in the Japan labor market can not enjoy the basic human rights of
workers and equal treatment of workers. These foreign trainees suffered from worker
exploitation in Japan domestic society.
Since 2010, Japan government started to act in order to improve the labor conditions.
One of the actions is “Technical Intern Training Program.” Based on such new training
program, technical intern trainees enjoy basic labor rights including employment insurance
and workers’ accident compensation insurance from the beginning of their entry into Japan
domestic labor market although they are still under the name of “Trainees”. On the other
hand, supervising organizations are required by law to take the duties as accepting
organizations. The article is to highlight the background of “Training Program” and analyze
the development of such a program. In addition, the author also criticizes the illicit aspects
of the “Training Program” from a human-right and nation-state perspective.
