Because this particular group of immigrants plays an important role in the economy of Oarai and supports in the recruitment of their families, Japanese national and local governments take a somewhat lenient approach to them. On the other hand, the Indonesian government, at both the national and local levels, does not concern itself with the legal status of the migrant workers it sends to Japan. Thus, some local Indonesian NGOs have recently initiated activities to support Minahasan migrant workers., 論文, Article}, pages = {79--104}, title = {The Dynamics of Indonesian Migrant Workers under National and Local Policies: The Oarai Case ( The Community of Indonesian Migrant Workers in Oarai Town, Ibaraki)}, volume = {17}, year = {2005} }
