When a man flies overseas: corporate nationalism, gendered happiness and young Japanese male migrants in Canada and Australia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
For more than 10 years, the number of Japanese women who live or emigrate overseas has been surpassing that of Japanese men. On the other hand, corporate workers who have been relocated overseas for shorter periods by their companies are predominantly Japanese men. What this means is that Japanese men are more bound to their homeland and, in this sense, more domestic than Japanese women. Especially since 2010, the state-driven development of “Global Human Resources” (GHR) has been intensifying the familiar associations between men, corporations, and going overseas, which re-impose the nationalistic, corporate-centric masculine norm on young men’s minds. This does not mean, however, that all men in Japan fit the corporate worker model, or that they are all content with Japanese society. Based on interview data of Japanese temporary residents in their 20s, 30s, and 40s in Canada and Australia, with special focus on the narratives of men, this paper elucidates how the meaning of going/being overseas for personal happiness is both gendered and classed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
