In this sense, the debate on migration is crucial not only to keep the benefits attained by the Japanese during the period of high economic growth in the end of 20th century, but also to thrive in the years to come. Most migration policies related to the balance of age cohorts invites younger people to immigrate; however, in Japan, there was a public initiative in the end of the 1980’s, which promoted the emigration of elderly, the Silver Columbia project. This paper presents a review of Silver Columbia and its aftermath using articles from academic journals and media discussing arguments against and for its implementation. The experience was both a controversial measure to support a nationwide population policy and failed because of the lack of application of basic marketing principles in the public sector. The case study brings valuable insight for the worldwi...

The aim was the description of conflicts caused by differences between employees’ perception about Japanese national and cultural identity, gender roles and age. The fieldwork was conducted on a Japanese car manufacturer with worldwide presence and almost 60 years of production experience in Brazil. One of the greatest priorities of modern humanity is labor and the environment of large companies is a laboratory where social issues are reflected very intensively. When people are confined together in small spaces for long periods of time, hidden discriminations are revealed. Clarification of where each person stands on complex issues is socially demanded. Actors of different ages, social classes, nationalities and genders influence these scenarios and are influenced by them. The individuals create ties with antagonistic social groups at the same time they try to manipulate the perception of the oppositions to work on their favor. This article provides insight on possible sources of conflict in multicultural workplaces through the open presentation of employees’ thoughts on a variety of contexts.

Seeking for a demographic approach, this article provides an opportunity to discuss the integration of demographic methods and sources to the mainstream areas dealing with the theme, such as anthropology and language studies. The article will focus on the first half of the twentieth century as this period showed the most intense flow of Japanese immigrants to Brazil. The methodological approach relies mainly on the analysis of secondary data, available in the Japanese censuses and in the census The Japanese Immigrant in Brazil (1964). Central elements of the analysis are the comparison of age profile, distribution by sex and region of origin of these immigrants with the Japanese population by province in the same period. Thus, it aspires to identify specificities in the composition of these populations, resident and immigrant, and how immigration flows may have influenced aspects of the Japanese demographic dynamics, especially in their places of origin. Young groups, aged 20 to 40 years, characterize the flows; also, male migrants outnumbered their counterparts, although overall the male and female proportion were very close. This scenario shows variations according to the different periods of arrival in Brazil. It is essential to understand the differences between these populations, to understand the impacts that the immigration flows caused to the Japanese population, especially in a period of great social, economic, cultural and demographic transformations, as occurred in the first half of the 20th century both in Brazil and in Japan.

O projeto tem como objetivo principal desenvolver uma metodologia inovadora de avaliação da implementação de programas e de seus impactos nos beneficiários e nas comunidades em que eles estão inseridos. Desta forma, o projeto foi planejado como um estudo de longo prazo para acompanhar a implementação do ProFIS desde o seu início, assim como os seus resultados e impactos ao longo do tempo.

Simularemos o funcionamento de um filtro simples a fim de eliminar ruidos da rede elétrica captados por sensores biomédicos. No curso teremos uma breve introdução teórica do tema falando sobre transformada de Fourier, harmônicos na rede elétrica e limitações do uso de Excel. A metodologia ensinada no curso pode ser aplicada no contexto de diversas engenharias. Como exemplos, em situações nas quais há periodicidade relacionada a séries temporais, como análise de demanda por determinados produtos ao longo do ano, de consumo residencial de energia elétrica, de previsão de temperatura, de dados epidemiológicos (SARS-COV-2) e de preços de ações na bolsa.

Today, a miraculous rise in the number of children would only lead to an increase in the share of the dependent population and the expected economic benefits of a younger workforce perceived only in 15 or 20 years from now. On the other end of the population pyramid, the same aging that represents a higher life expectancy, leads to increasing mortality rates and a larger burden to the pension system. In this sense, the debate on migration is crucial not only to keep the benefits attained by the Japanese during the period of high economic growth in the end of 20th century, but also to thrive in the years to come. Most migration policies related to the balance of age cohorts invites younger people to immigrate. However, in Japan, there was a public initiative in the end of the 1980's, which promoted the emigration of elderly, the Silver Columbia project. Later the government abandoned the idea, but a private for-profit foundation called LongStay Foundation, inspired by Silver Columbia, created a program of elderly tourism. This paper presents a review of Silver Columbia and its aftermath using articles from academic journals and media discussing arguments against and for its implementation. The experience was both a controversial measure to support a nationwide population policy and failed because of the lack of application of basic marketing principles in the public sector. As a case study, the experience can bring valuable insight for the worldwide elderly migration, their active participation in host societies and tourism.
