The era of one-month living and workation trends
What exactly does it mean to move to the countryside? Who goes, and why?
Abundant data on regional migration: What is the current reality in the region?
Can immigration fairness and sustainability be achieved?

This book analyzes the reality of immigration and presents alternatives based on extensive data.
Some might think that it is simply a matter of moving to a rural area, or that the term "migration" is only used when moving abroad. However, as you read the book, you will realize that it is not a simple migration, but rather a variety of forms of migration, and that there are enormous issues intertwined around such migration.

There was an interest in continued migration.
The recent interest in rural migration is not due to the coronavirus crisis and interest in rural life.
The interest has continued for over 30 years.

The government's immigration promotion policy has also expanded over the decades.
In particular, countermeasures against under-resourced workers, overcoming population decline, and utilizing human resources continue to be core values ​​of the policy.

Recently, various forms of migration are taking place. Start-up migration, Chapter 2-1 Educational migration, Chapter 2-2 Marriage migration, Chapter 2-3 Nursing migration, Chapter 2-5 Holy Land migration, Chapter 2-7 Downshift, Chapter 2-4 Lifestyle migration, Chapter 2-8 Migration without changing jobs, Chapter 2-10 And related population, Chapter 2-6

However, the reality is that migration polarization is occurring.
It is also difficult to say that the increase in migration was due to the coronavirus.
Remote work/work from home itself is impossible if companies do not step up.
The polarization of migration is also a characteristic that cannot be ignored.

The risk of rural and gentrification must also be taken into account.
Rural gentrification refers to gentrification that originally occurred in urban areas occurring in rural areas... The biggest problem with rural gentrification is the gap that exists between immigrants who benefit from it and local residents who do not.
Rather than simply pursuing a temporary increase in population and constructing new buildings, we need to reflect on the region's original stance from a long-term perspective and seriously consider ruralization and gentrification among them.

Above all, we need data that can accurately understand this reality.
Only about 2% of people want to move specifically. Chapter 1-2 The reason is that more than half of them (even if they are interested in moving to the countryside) cannot leave because of work. Chapter 1-3 Even if they do move, they tend to go only to urban areas. Chapter 1-5 Therefore, an accurate survey of residents and migrants is necessary.
--- From "Chapter 3-7"

We need to investigate not only the reasons for coming but also the reasons for leaving.
There is a lack of data on reality.
In particular, rather than focusing solely on the inflow of population, there should be a lot of data that consistently investigates the outflow of population and its causes.
The reasons why people do not or cannot move to the countryside, or who give up after moving to the countryside, vary depending on gender and socioeconomic reasons.

However, it is dangerous to provide immigration support in a handout format.
While bold immigration subsidies have been implemented since the 1990s, non-financial support must also be pursued extensively to avoid a situation where "if money is cut off, so is the connection." Chapters 1-9 Furthermore, care must be taken to avoid misunderstandings before hastily and competitively announcing policies.

In addition, the following policies should be supplemented: Expanding U-turn support, Chapter 1-10 Considering the villages that people want to return to, Chapter 1-10 Wide-area solidarity, Chapter 3-6 Phased two-stage migration, Chapter 3-6 Application of diverse definitions and concepts, Chapter 3-10 Leveraging the personal experience of migration policy officials, Chapter 3-8 Most migrants want an ordinary life, so Chapter 3-2 Encouragement rather than blindly increasing the population, Chapters 3-1, 3-11 Breaking away from the dichotomy of quantity and quality, Chapter 3-3 Do not be swayed by migration rankings, Chapter 3-5 Establish a policy that assumes a KPI that measures changes in values ​​rather than a population-centered KPI. Chapter 3-4
