이주여성의 경제활동의지 결정요인분석 : 이주여성의 정책인지수준과 지역사회다문화태도 인식을 중심으로

The aim of this study is to explain what factors affect decision-making of married immigrants on the basis of multiculturalism. There is limited research for sustainable local development policy to achieve through immigrants’ the establishment of a business. Therefore, this research focuses on multiculturalism, multicultural policy and the decision factors of the establishment of a business on the basis of previous studies. This study defines the decision factors of the establishment of a business not only with demographical characteristics such as job experience, age, education, but also local social factors and policy perception factors that result from immigrants. The result of the study shows that there is difference between immigrants and the others in terms of the decision factors of the establishment of a business. However, demographical factors such as experience of an establishment of a business, job experience, age have no significant effect on decision of the establishment of a business. Rather, the lesser the perception of cultural discrimination, the more the intention of the establishment of a business. Additionally, immigrants, who think they understand about Asia cultural-oriented city policy, are more passionate about the establishment of a business than non-immigrants. In conclusion, this study shows that local governments need to understand about a variety of cultures and open up local society to recognize the importance of constructive public relations and immigrants’ trust about policy in order to reduce social cost, which European countries are struggling with.
