First sentence: Long thought to be immune from the globalization of labor migration, Japan has over the past decade begun to experience quantum increases in the numbers of women and men who have not simply come to work and quickly returned home, but are also bringing families, forming new households with Japanese nationals, and residing in neighborhoods in cities and regions throughout the country.
