The New Wave of Nomadic Workers

The New Wave of Nomadic Workers

Though the term nomad worker often brings to mind images of those traveling with the seasons from one manual-labor based job to another, a new form of white collar nomadic workers is steadily growing on a global scale. We can divide these nomads into two types:

  1. Nomadic workers cross geopolitical borders and boundaries as members of corporations or as individuals in order to work.
  2. Corporations and individuals whose workplace is not centrally located, allowing them to work anywhere in the world.

With these two kinds of workers increasing year by year, how do we as members of society deal with these changes? What can we do to survive in such a rapidly changing world?

Author Oishi, a leader and researcher at the “Nomad Research Center,” documents the careers, businesses, work and lifestyles of those living in Southeast Asia. This illuminating volume on the ins and outs of nomadic working styles is filled with hints on how to adapt to this new working style, how to raise children well-equipped to become nomads themselves and more.

The Next Move, Unbounded

The Next Move, Unbounded

In 2020, where do you imagine yourself living and working? The time of global mobility has come. 

The age of globalism is much criticized for what it has done to the local market and employment; but it has also brought us great benefits—global mobility. In the 21st century, being a global citizen is not just an abstract ideal. There are a lot of people who have already moved onto this stage, and now it’s your turn.  Don’t let where you’re born be the sole determinant of your future. 

The Next Life, Unbounded is a collection of interviews with people who moved away from Tokyo or Japan altogether. Being away from one of the “centers” of the world, Tokyo, each interviewee pursues an ideal life of his or her own. This book is a realistic account on pros and cons of such lifestyle, and opens up the possibility for the next, unbounded move for you!
