Introduction
Japan faces the serious aging in the world and its aging speed is overwhelming. Now, how Japan will correspond with its aging is watched by other countries with interest. The Japanese government attempts to solve its aging by increasing the total birth rate, but it doesn't seem to be successful yet. Even if it shows the result, it would talk about 20-30 years after. Therefore there is another expected solution to increase the number of adult by increasing the number of immigrant to correspond with its aging in Japan. Our Proposer "Global Policy Initiative" gave us very difficult theme "How to accept immigrants and foreign workers better in local communities". This theme seems to be a "touchy" issue for Japanese. So the success of our project depends on how we can tackle so called "Taboo" among Japanese. By considering the theme of our project, we first decided to aim to solve the problem and anxiety both from foreigner and Japanese because we believe it's going to lead Japan become a country to accept immigrants better in the future.
Summary of the report's contents
This report is based on our ALPS activities (research, questionnaires and interviews, etc.) from June until the end of November 2011. At the end we proposed the solution ideas, "SSN (Social Security Number)", "Green Card by point system", "MFCC (Multi Functioned Community Center)" by using the system approach process (Value graph, QFD, Pugh selection, etc.) to analyze stakeholders' needs, to define issues, to select solutions, and validate systems. Our solutions may not solve the entire problem of Japanese immigrant system, but we consider them as a first step to make Japan become better country to accept more immigrants. Consequently, we expect more people will recognize the current immigrant issue Japan has by knowing what we are approaching.
