한국사회에서 이주여성의 삶과 사회문화적 적응관련 정책

In korean society, the number of immigrant has increased by overseas employment and international marriage since late 1980. That is the reason why our society is changing the emigrant’s nation into the immigrant’s. Woman-immigrants recently have a majority of immigrants in Korea according to the increase of woman-worker and international marriage. There are nowadays in our society discriminating treatment against immigrants and encroachment upon their human rights. Especially woman- immigrant suffers more serious and more various damage than man-immigrants. They are encroached upon human rights such as sexual violence and family violence separately from man- immigrants, so that they are in three troubles as woman, foreigner, and worker in our patriarchy sexist society. In spite of that they cannot cope with the situation due to lack of knowledge about language, culture, customs, and law. There are, moreover, in Korea few programs of the social-cultural adaptation for immigrants. It is sure in future that the decrease of labor power and limitation of marriage opportunity will be solved by immigration. Immigrant’s problem will appear as an outstanding problem in 2020, so their social integration problem will be our important task. The study from the viewpoint examines the woman-immigrants’ actual conditions. It also surveys the type of immigrant-related policy, immigrants’ actual life-state, their social-cultural adaptation, and various policies for them. Then it seeks woman-immigrants’ social-cultural adaptation-related policy for our multi-cultural society. Because woman-immigrants unlike man-immigrants are in multi- discriminating structure as woman, foreigner, worker in conformity with their situation, the study suggests that the policy for social-cultural adaptation shows the policy for woman-immigrants as a target group policy with a general policy.
