I'm working on a research proposal, dealing with labor migration in the health and care sector. Interested in the situation in Japan, because it should be hit hard by the effects of demographic change. Any recommendations on literature?

You probably know this source already, but I would recommend looking through Catherine Ceniza Choy's book, Empire of Care.
There is some interesting work about trafficking that focus on sex labor migration from Latin America to Japan.
Piper, N. (1999). Labor migration trafficking and international marriage: female cross-border movements into Japan. Asian Journal of Womens Studies, 5(2), 13.

I also attended this session at the recent AAAs titled "PRODUCING ANTHROPOLOGY IN/OF THE "NEW GLOBE": TRANSNATIONAL HUMAN AND CULTURAL MOBILITY IN JAPAN AND BEYOND". Probably some of the participants would be interesting for you.
