Abstract

While the number of immigrants working in Japan has increased in recent years, their living environment remains insufficient. The Japanese government accordingly created a holistic policy of multicultural symbiosis to accept immigrant workers in 2018. As immigrant workers experience difficulties in accessing Japanese financial services, financial literacy education and skills training are necessary, as are household management skills for immigrant workers who make remittances to their home countries. This article aims to clarify the financial education that immigrant workers need before coming to Japan. The author conducted a seminar comprising lecture and workshop sessions for 12 Indonesian workers, using an original textbook, and aimed to impart financial knowledge and skills to the attendees.
