In order to overcome this, Japan carried out immigration policies for its citizen and efforts to carry out economic expansion to Brazil as a consequence of new industrialized country.

The method used in this research was descriptive qualitative. The results showed that although Japan turned into a new industrialized country, it was not accompanied by increasing of welfare, Japan was faced with the problem of urban and rural poverty. In addition, Japan was also faced with population growth, so that the level of competition in finding jobs was high, which results in increased unemployment. Facing this kind of situation, the private sector with the support of the government had implemented immigration policies for its citizens to Brazil. Through immigration, the Japanese private sector and government carried out economic expansion in order to fulfill raw materials, as well as the distribution of industrial products, through the establishment of colonies, purchase of land for settlements and plantations, economic missions, banking businesses and the establishment of various industries.

Abstrak
Pada era Meiji hingga awal Showa, Jepang dihadapkan pada masalah kemiskinan, pertambahan penduduk dan masalah industrialisasi. Guna mengatasi hal ini Jepang melakukan kebijakan imigrasi bagi penduduknya dan usaha untuk melakukan ekspansi ekonomi ke Brasil sebagai konsekwensi negara industri baru. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis latar belakang terjadinya imigrasi penduduk Jepang ke Brasil, serta berbagai kebijakan yang dilakukan sebagai wujud dari upaya ekspansi ekonomi di Brasil. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitaif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa walaupun Jepang berubah menjadi negara industri baru, tetapi tidak disertai dengan peningkatan kesejahteraan, Jepang dihadapkan kepada masalah kemiskinan perkotaan, dan pedesaan. Selain itu Jepang juga dihadapkan kepada pertambahan penduduk, sehingga tingkat kompetisi dalam mencari pekerjaanmenjadi tinggi, yang berakibat meningkatnya pengangguran. Menghadapi hal seperti ini, pihak swasta dengan dukungan pemerintah melakukan kebijakan imigrasi bagi penduduknya ke Brasil. Melalui imigrasi, pihak swasta dan pemerintah Jepang melakukan ekspansi ekonomi guna pemenuhan bahan baku, serta pendistribusian hasil industri, melalui pendirian koloni, pembelian lahan untuk pemukiman dan perkebunan, misi ekonomi, usaha perbankan dan pendirian berbagai industri.
