Census

The 1930 census of the Empire of Japan contained contingency tables of place of birth and the current residence. Table 3.9 compares the percentage living in the prefecture or region of birth. Because the denominator is the place of birth, a lower percentage suggests a higher out-migration rate. The percentage is highest for the Taiwanese; more than 95% were living in the place of birth. While the number of overseas Taiwanese was negligible, some adjustments for the overseas population would be required for Korea and Japan. According to the same census, 419,009 Koreans and only 4611 Taiwanese lived in Japan. It is also assumed that slightly more than 600,000 Koreans lived in Manchuria (Kim 1965; Park 2009). If we add one million overseas Koreans to the denominator, the percentage would drop from 92.8% in Table 3.9 to 88.4%. According to Wakatsuki (1995), there were 1775,896 overseas Japanese in 1930. If this amount were added to the denominator, the percentage living in the place of birth would be 81.3% rather than 83.6% in the table.Table 3.9Percentage living in the place of birth: 1930
