Return Migration of Japanese Managers and Their Health

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study has analyzed the determinants of health conditions of Japanese managers having returned from their overseas assignment, applying logit models to data from the 2001 NIPSSR survey. The analysis shows that the health condition immediately after return is likely to be bad among those in their late 40s and those in home company of 10,000-19,999 employees. However, those whose job immediately after return was sales are also more likely to have bad health immediately after return when we control for health during mission. This variable also has a similar effect on change in health conditions.
