Abstract

This article focuses on the first group of Filipino certified care worker (kaigo fukushishi) candidates who joined Japan's caregiving workforce under the Japan–Philippines economic partnership agreement (EPA) in 2009. The arrival of this group marked the start of the arrival of Filipinos specifically to work and study for 3 years in a designated care facility in order to take Japan's unique national board exam in 2013. Based on the follow-up research on 49 of the first group of 190 Filipino candidates, this study examines the lives of those passing the board exam who decided to remain and continue to work in Japan. Being able to transfer to various care facilities for better employment conditions, their quality of life in Japan has improved, while the issues regarding their residential status and reuniting with their family have yet to be resolved.

持证护工能成为长期移民吗?:《日菲经济伙伴关系协定》下49名菲律宾人的案例研究
本文关注的是2009年根据日本-菲律宾经济伙伴关系协定(EPA)加入日本护理队伍的第一批菲律宾持证护理工作者(kaigo fukushishi)候选人。这群人的到来标志着菲律宾人专门来到一个指定的护理机构工作和学习3年,以便参加2013年日本独特的国家委员会考试。基于对第一批190名菲律宾考生中的49人的后续研究,本研究考察了通过董事会考试并决定留在日本继续工作的人的生活。由于能够转移到各种护理机构以获得更好的就业条件,他们在日本的生活质量得到了改善,而有关他们的居住身份和与家人团聚的问题尚未得到解决。
