Summary While Japan has a significant population of foreign workers, the national government has done little to provide citizenship rights or social services for them. In a number of cases, local municipalities and NGOs have stepped in to offer basic rights and social services to immigrants residing in their communities, leading to a type of local citizenship. If localities are emerging as important sites for the struggle for immigrant rights and social integration, there remain serious limitations to such efforts in a milieu in which the national government sharply restricts the rights of immigrants.
