      This study focuses on the new generation of Chinese migrants who came to Japan in the 2010s.

Their processes of decision-making for migration, their current situation in Japan, and their plans for career have received relatively little attention in the literature on Chinese migrants. They deserve attention as a relatively new group of migrants since some of them are not considering Japan as their ideal destinations. ; In this study, I aim to shed light upon the life of young Chinese female migrants in Japan.
