인구소멸 고위험 지방자치단체의 이주민 관련 조례의 문제점과 개선방향 - 외국인주민 비중이 높은 4개 기초 지방자치단체를 중심으로 -

In the era of population decline, the central government has changed its policy from the use of short-term circular foreign workers to securing a population using migrants who will live for a long time and to securing a working population. Until now, primary local governments have promoted support measures for migrants centered on recruiting and managing seasonal workers and supporting married migrants. With the regional specialized visa project as an opportunity, it is necessary to overcome the crisis of regional extinction and seek a path for shared growth through partnership and communication with excellent talents such as foreign students and overseas Koreans. Prior research conducted various studies on population decline, migrant settlement and support, migrant’s human rights, and migrant ordinances, but there was a lack of interest in research on primary local governments' ordinances from the perspective of immigration policy capabilities and projects to overcome the population crisis in the era of population decline. This study analyzed the top four primary local governments with a high proportion of foreign residents among 51 primary local governments designated as high-risk local governments in terms of mutual cultural understanding and shared growth of community members. As a result of the analysis, the four primary local governments lack the ability to establish immigration policies and view migrants as targets for social integration, lack of support for migrants considering social integration, such as lack of initial settlement support and support for marriage migrants, and problems such as formalization of migrant participation governance and lack of migrant support personnel. In order to overcome the regional extinction crisis by securing resident foreigners and approach the path of sustainable growth, this study proposed ways to improve the Migrant Support Ordinance by re-establishing the purpose of the Migrant-related Ordinance from the perspective of social integration, strengthening the immigration policy capabilities of basic local governments, expanding the targets and timing of support such as migrant support from before or from the beginning of migration, and benchmarking cross-cultural cities.
