Ｓtatistics Bureau Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Yamaguchi Prefecture
As of October 1, 2010, the Japanese government will be conducting a Population Census.
The Population Census is a statistical survey which is conducted according to the law and covers everyone living in Japan, regardless of nationality. You are legally required to respond.
Your responses will not be used in any way for immigration control, police investigations or other such purposes.
Starting at the end of September, Population Census Workers will visit all households to distribute Census forms.
The data collected from the Population Census will be used as a baseline for city planning and other measures which benefit foreign residents as well as Japanese citizens.
In order to better understand how Japan (Yamaguchi) is seen from the perspective of a non-native and to help spread information about various countries to the people of Yamaguchi, the Yamaguchi Prefectural Chapter of the United Nations Association of Japan is hosting the 21st Annual Japanese Speech Contest for Foreigners. In addition, this speech contest will help in the development of those who wish to work to spread internationalization and international cooperation, to create a sense of mutual understanding between the people of the prefecture and residents from abroad and to serve as a ground for international exchange.
Contestants will draw on their observations and thoughts from the workplace, classroom or daily life as residents within the prefecture to answer the question of how their own country differs from Japan (Yamaguchi) in regards to culture, values and practices. Using this material, they will share their opinions and experiences within a speech written in Japanese.
We look forward to your applications!
