코로나19와 이주사회를 위한 입법

While the world is suffering from the unprecedented COVID-19 disaster, migrants, who are socially disadvantaged in many societies, face with more risks and difficulties. In particular, various empirical data show that migrants are very difficult in the aspects of medical care, occupation, and education, which have a significant impact on the quality of human life. From this perspective, this study pays attention to the impact of unequal disasters on migrants not only in Korean society but also internationally, and examines several indicators that show the phenomena. In many countries, migrants have been exposed to relatively high levels of COVID-19 infection, showing vulnerability in terms of international migration and employment. In addition, in many countries, it appears that children of migrants are experiencing unequal educational opportunities in the non-face-to-face education process as their Internet access is relatively low. On the other hand, Korea’s legislative system is centered only on the people who has nationality, so consideration for migrants in disaster situations is relatively insufficient. After COVID-19, there have been some policy responses in the face of trial and error and specific problems, but there are still blind spots in the policy. In this paper, we discussed legislation and policies related to foreigners for just recovery in light of the situation of foreigners in the current COVID-19 disaster situation.
