...Western immigrants in japan Name: Institution: Professor: Course: Date: Title The title of this research proposal is; investigation into the current trend of Japanese immigration. Introduction The wave of globalization has been associated with an increase in cross-border relocations for goods, capital and human resources. The movement of people however in the post-world war attracted the attention of most of the industrialized nations of the west. Terrorist attacks of September 2011 initiated the review of immigration laws. Studies show that most of the industrialized states which tend to receive the highest number of immigrants are currently in the process of revising their demographic structures. They are characterized by an aging and shrinking population with consequences being evident in their work force. UNPD report of 2000 regarding replacement migration in the industrialized nations shows vividly the replacement is important to maintain the level of employed to that of the unemployed (Coleman, 2000). Japan being amongst fastest industrialized nations of the world is reported to experience high number of immigrants from the western countries. If demographic factors such as fertility and retirement age are not revised, the country will need a high labor immigration to maintain its workforce. Its political leaders are however reluctant in embracing measures to open doors for such immigrants. The country still continues to bar the entry of foreigners...

...Immigration and Canada’s Aging Demographic With more people living longer and having fewer children, can the arrival of immigrants help to stabilize the balance between generations? Immigrants play an important role in supporting programs that maintain an aging work force but immigration may not be able to relieve Canada of the challenges of an aging population. One in seven Canadians is a senior citizen, 13.7% of the Canadian population was over 65 in 2006, with the fastest growing group being seniors aged 85 years or old (Soc. p. 278). The proportion of seniors will double by 2031, totalling around 25% of the population (Soc. p. 278) In September 2005, Statistics Canada released a study on the population of Canada. This report gave a detailed picture of past, present and future population trends. Understanding population trends is important to the running of social and economic systems and plays an important role in determining government policy. The report contains a warning that Ottawa and other levels of government in Canada need to make some dramatic policy changes to meet the demographic challenges of the future. The Statistics Canada Report shows that Canada’s fertility rate is 1.5 children per female. With Canada’s aging population of “baby boomers” it means that in twenty years death may outpace births. This means as Canadians we are not even “replacing” ourselves. As a result, the growth rate in our population will change from increases to an actual decrease...

...Trends Paper Because the world is constantly changing, the field of human services has to change with it. In order to see the impact of how and what services will be delivered now and in the future, both economic and political events and how they are related to human service trends will be observed as well as demographic trends that will influence the future needs in the delivery of human services. Economic Events “As human services changes, there may be both negative and positive reactions. It is possible that services will become more streamlined yet less available, and the cost containment will save money but become an overriding factor in limiting treatment and other services.” (Woodside & McClam, 2011, p. 91). Job loss and unemployment, can affect a client’s ability to provide basic care for themselves or their family. The client’s self-esteem, self-confidence and overall mental health can be affected causing a “domino effect” of other problems and difficulties causing the client to slip permanently into poverty, even as economic conditions improve, and seek out social services to relieve some of their financial hardship. Food assistance programs, low rental housing and job training are a few of the services that can be provided by the human service professional to ease some these financial burdens. As baby boomers age, the number of seniors will increase causing economic changes in the population. Poor physical and mental health, housing, employment and environmental...

...in the past year have been looking at the growing changes in the student population with the ever changing diversity which presents many challenges along with opportunities for not only the students, but also the faculty, staff, parents and community as a whole. A1. Local Demographics Students in the Bellingham High School Community represent a varied background. Approximately 1% are from migrant families. This specific population is ever changing in size as migrant families move frequently. The student population also consists of approximately 10% of students that are serviced through an IEP plan. This population will continue to expand as families are identified and students receive testing and supports as granted under The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Finally, an emerging population that is gaining recognition not only with in the school community, but is also expanding in recognition across the United States, is the LGBTQ community. It is a community that is at the forefront of social movement and civil rights activities. Currently in Bellingham High School, approximately 13% of the student population openly identifies within the LGBTQ parameters. A1a.

...National Healthcare and Immigration Roberto Macedo ITT Tech Mr. Berndt EN1320 Composition I Healthcare and Immigration What is healthcare? Healthcare is a service that is supposed to be provided to a country’s citizens that the U.S., for some reason, cannot get right (shocker!). Meanwhile, Canada has no problem handing medical care to its citizens for free, that’s right free. Why can’t the U.S. be as caring as Canada? On a side note I hope they take Bieber back. The people (the ones that aren’t fanatically crazy for him because of raging teenage hormones) of the U.S. do not want his presence here and no longer will we the people suffer from headaches due to his annoyance. No longer will important political or non-political events that are being streamed by news media (by which news stations consider “breaking news”) be interrupted. At this very moment my family and I have no medical insurance, thus resulting in $3000 of medical bills that I am not paying simply put “because I don’t feel like paying 3 grand for a f**king checkup that tells me my spouse has depression problems once every so often, it’s a given.” What I do know for sure is my son is eligible for Nevada Checkup; however, seeing that the online healthcare system that was supposed to make applying for medical insurance so easy for all of its U.S. citizens just happened to be in a few nice words “a piece of s**t!” My son (who is turning one this 24th of February) still has no insurance. I have been...

...A demographic is a statistical characterization of a population. Demographic trends are patterns in demographics that change over time these patterns include, but are not limited to immigration and emigration, age, gender, socio-economic status, employment, religion, and general health. The article entitles “The Next 25 Years - American Demographics" discusses in particular three of these trends as they related to changes in the American population. The trends discussed in this article are increases in immigration, ethnic diversification, and the aging of the population specifically those born after World War 2. The article discusses how changes in population will drive consumer marketing in various areas such as housing and real estate. This trend is especially true as it applies to immigrants from other countries looking to establish new roots. Ethnic diversification comes as a result of increases in both new and native populations of minorities. The article relates that these increases, which are predicted for the Latin- American and Asian- American sectors especially, will result in the word minority becoming no longer applicable and in culturally based marketing by businesses becoming more prevalent. In addition, as the large percent of the population born after World War 2 in what was termed the Baby Boom ages America faces the reality of a large older population all collecting social security and having a large effect on economic trends. This increase in the older population...

They include terrorism, cultures, aging, and economic hardships. Terrorism became a big part of in our country on September 11. We will never forget where we were that day and what we were doing when we heard the terrible news. The act of terrorism has happened more them once. The bombing of the world trade centers, the crash into the Pentagon, and the aborted flight into a field in Pennsylvania. However, there have been other terrorist attacks out of the U.S. Terrorism is defined as “unlawful use of forces or violence against people or property to intimidate the government or civilian population. The goals of terrorist are to create fear among the public, convince the public that their government is powerless against terrorism and receive publicity for their acts. Terrorist attacks can be international or domestic. Terrorist attacks have changed the way Americans think, see, and do. After 9/11 many Americans would not leave their house and definitely would not board an airplane. They were afraid that more attacks would happen. The airports increased security drastically, more security and police were placed in certain areas, increased research on biological weapons and a color coded five level threat system was made. Terrorist attacks created long...

...Argosy University B6027: Perspective in Change Leadership Module 1 Assignment 3 June, 14, 2013 Demographic Changes The ethnic composition of the United States has rapidly changed as a result of the 1965 changes in immigration policy. It will continue to be rapidly changed by the continuation of that policy, and, if immigration is increased, as currently proposed, the U.S. population will be even more rapidly altered (Martin, 2006). Estimates indicate that, by 2050, the number of people 65 or older will have grown by 135% since the start of the millennium, rising from 12.7% to 20.3% of the total population. As quality of life and health care improve in the United States, we are also living longer. Over the last thirty years, the number of people 90 years old or above has tripled, according to the US Census (Little, 2013). According to U.S. Census Bureau projections, the United States will face dramatic demographic changes over the next one hundred years. Indeed, the country will be entering largely uncharted territory. In the twenty-first century, the population is expected to grow more slowly than ever before over an extended period. The population will also age rapidly, with the share of the population over 65 climbing to a succession of new record highs. Finally, the United States will once again become a nation of immigrants (Martin, 2006). The Mexican immigrant and heritage segment of the population shows the greatest increase (by 345%). This increase is fueled...

...was the establishment of America’s safety net. The promise of the act was to ensure that America’s retirees would have some protection from poverty. Since the Social Security Act of 1935 was passed, the social safety net has been expanded to cover additional groups and classes of people. The most important additional programs established being MediCare and MedicAid. After years of running a surplus, Social Security has reached an inflection point. At the current rate of drawdown, the trust fund will run dry, and Social Security will begin to operate as a pay-as-you-go program, potentially only paying 75% of promised benefit levels. This paper will discuss the history of Social Security, demographic and technological trends that affect Social Security, the future implications of these trends for Social Security, and possible solutions. A Brief History of Social Security Social Security as we know it today evolved from the Social Security Act of 1935. Under the terms of the original law, Social Security benefits only applied to the employee. Today, Social Security pays benefits to the employee, the spouse, and the disabled and contains the provision for what is known as Medicaid and Medicare. When compared to today’s law, the scope of the original version of the Social Security Act was much narrower. For example, agricultural workers, domestic workers and government employees were excluded under the original act. Since 1935, Congress has expanded the number employees eligible...

...Future of Policing Melissa D. Turner CJS 210 Jason Garner Future of Policing This paper will center on the current trend that affects policing in the twenty-first century. I will also focus on any anticipated critical issues that could affect policing in the future and changes that are needed to effectively address those critical issues. American policing has revolutionized enormously since the 1800’s. Policing for America began with the colonist bringing the rural community police methods that observed the scattered parishes, and while under this type of configuration one man from that specific county was responsible for serving a term of one-year as constable. During that time policing worked well but as towns became more colonized and the blossom of prosperity resulted into illegal wrongdoings. Even though, American policing was configured as a quasi-military with the task to prevent crime and being conspicuous while on patrol was an pure imitation of London’s contemporary policing, the organization of government control over the police force was different from London’s patrol the United States were self-govern and with this policing became more time-consuming, dangerous, and less attractive (Walker, S., & Katz, C. M. 2011). The three eras American policing comprised of political, professional, and conflicting pressures and those eras ranged from the 1830 are to 1900’s. The old conventional eras of policing consisted of police patrolling without any proper...

...Nancy Foner compares two distinct waves of immigration to New York, from 1880 to 1920 and from 1965 to present, to illustrate how immigrants have impacted the city across time. In her comparative studies of New York immigration patterns, she highlights certain trends that immigrants have shaped throughout these two eras. For centuries, immigrants have dynamically enriched the city’s multicultural landscape and developed its commercial and industrial infrastructures. Yet, although mobility has increased for recent female arrivals of color, they still face a domestic confinement that their predecessors endured between 1880 and 1920, and immigrant marginalization continues on the basis of gender. Although immigrant women of color continue to face gender subordination as they gain econo-physical mobility, Foner argues that many immigrants have thrived while driving New York’s economic and cultural growth. Recently-arrived professionals revitalize its economy and geographically-diverse newcomers continue to embellish its cultural traditions by forming network-based ethnic enclaves, progressively making the city a more welcoming and prosperous immigrant destination....

...Part 4. Temporary Workers While not officially included in the economic immigrant category, temporary workers present a significant flow of migrants which contribute to the Canadian economy. Many temporary workers also transition into permanent residents through various programs and are therefore relevant to the understanding or economic immigration policy and trends. Temporary workers can enter Canada through either the International Mobility Program (IMP) of the Temporary Foreign Workers Program (TFWP), both wide-ranging federally managed programs covering all skill levelled occupations. The IMP aims to further Canada’s economic interests, fulfil its trade agreements and allows workers to either change employer but stay in a certain industry...

...in imperial County abstract Education in Imperial County, from the elementary to the high school level, always ranks among the lowest in the state. This constant underperformance might be due to the high level of minority enrollment throughout the county. This paper uses census and other government data along with school accountability report cards to show that border proximity negatively impacts the performance of a school. While economic and immigration factors are probably not the only reason for this, this paper uses state testing reports and population demographics to compare the schools side by side and account for the difference in school achievement. 1. Introduction The economy of Imperial County ranks among the lowest in the state. This, in turn, reflects heavily on the level of academic achievement in the three main high schools. In addition to this, the county is also home to a large immigrant population, attributed to the proximity with Mexico and large farming sector. However, it is interesting to note the difference in school performance and how they relate with how far away they are from the international border. Taking a number of factors into account, we should observe a lower level of achievement in the school closest to the border. This paper attempts to examine the relationship between school performance and immigration. Specifically, does the higher level of minority students affect academic performance as a whole? This paper will examine...
