My research topic is the welfare of minorities, especially foreign nationals and Japanese with foreign roots living in Japan, especially children and the elderly. I have been researching the care and welfare needs of Chinese returnees living in Hiroshima Prefecture. I am also studying the acquisition of academic skills by international students at higher educational institutions. |
