Furthermore, one of the previous model assuming a Target Saver for temporal immigrant who especially decide to move to host country for saving money to achieve their own aim.
Therefore, this study examined relationships between their return choice and economic condition in Brazil (home) and Japan (host), then, also examined whether this assumption could be applied to Brazilian case in Japan. And, for study, it was used original micro data which was surveyed in with 406 ex-dekasseguis in Parana, south state of Brazil, in 2009. From this result, many had decided to return to Brazil when its economy was recovered from 2004 to 2008, and at the first period until 1998, it certainly showed a tendency to return to Brazil because of achieving the purpose, including a saving in Japan, but after that, its trend was weakened.
