Abstract

This paper analyzes the impact of accepting foreign workers, not just from the perspective of an increase in imperfect substitute labor supply, but also including the indirect aspect of an increased educational burden due to the expansion of residency rights. The results lead to the conclusion that the conditions for improving the welfare of native residents, due to the increase in the supply of labor that cannot be perfectly substituted, may not only be met through this increase but also may be relaxed owing to labor movement between industries, which is facilitated by the increased educational burden resulting from the easing of residency rights. This indicates that the improvement in the utility of native residents could potentially be achieved under more relaxed conditions.
