Foreign Workers or Future Citizens in East Asia?
Thu, September 5, 2:00 to 3:30pm, Marriott Philadelphia Downtown, 305Session Submission Type: Created Panel
Session Description
East Asia faces demographic crisis and immigration is one of the suggested remedies to stave off worker shortages and collapse of pension systems. How do will the governments and societies of these countries that proport and embrace homogenous nationalism accommodate or integrate new immigrants and their descendants who may or may not depart from the somatic norm? This panel addresses whether they are permanent “foreign” workers, immigrants, or future citizens.
