The purpose of this study is to clarify the actual situation and future issues of migration policy in 12 municipalities where residents were forced to evacuate from their hometowns due to the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. Based on the results of a questionnaire survey conducted on the 12 municipalities and a case study conducted on Kawauchi Village, it has become clear that there are many issues to be resolved in order to promote migration, including housing and employment, although the 12 municipalities have been promoting migration policies targeting the younger generation. This study pointed out that it is necessary to improve systems such as the Fukushima Revitalization Acceleration Subsidy and Migration Promotion Projects to solve problems concerning housing and employment, and to improve the organizational structure that operates these systems.
