This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newcomers and Global Migration in Contemporary South Korea: Across National Boundaries examines the intersections of race, class, gender and inequalities in global migration in contemporary South Korea. The contributors explore South Korean migration policies and study diverse migrants living and working in South Korea as low-wage undocumented workers, refugees, Korean returnees, migrant women married to Korean men, and white professionals. The chapters in this collection make visible the differentiation and divergence of migration experiences due to race, class, gender, and place of origin, which are all also mediated by local inequalities in South Korea.

Download or read book Social Implications of Korean Reunification written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-31 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing literature on the topic of a potential Korean reunification focuses primarily on three major areas of concern: the impact to regional and international security, fiscal costs analysis, and anticipation of various reunification scenarios. Assuming a unification under Seoul's guidance, this study will seek to bridge a gap that exists in the field by examining the likely social implications of reunification on the Korean peninsula. It will argue that despite the similarities in culture, language, historical legacies, and ethnic roots, two particular sets of social issues-population migration and social discrimination-will prove to be more divisive and socially costly than those similar issues experienced in the aftermath of the German reunification. This study will conclude that seven decades of separation has created two vastly contradictory and incompatible Korean societies that will make the social integration of the two Koreas as sensitive, challenging, and complex as the more often debated security and economic repercussions. As such, the potential social implications should be discussed on an equal footing with security and economic consequences of the Korean reunification.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.This study consists of six chapters. Chapter II explains the strongest rationale for the Korean reunification: shared ethnic identity. It reviews the ethnic historicity that unites North and South Koreans in a single ethnic identity, defines preconditions for being Korean, and highlights the evolution of intra-South Korean national identity, which is undergoing significant changes, particularly among the younger generations. In doing so, Chapter II seeks to debunk the prevalent "blood-bound notion" of ethnic unity that is often "expected to function as a unifying force across a divided system." Chapter III examines the North-South migration and population movement that is expected in a unified Korea. This migration flow is further sub-analyzed with regard to shifts in motivations for defection, growth of the labor crowing effect, and exacerbation of infrastructure limitations and socio-spatial inequality. Chapter III outlines the myriad of social complications that will arise when North Koreans crowd South Korea's already competitive labor market; compete for basic and critical government services, limited housing, and schools; and demand more from an already over-stretched South Korean infrastructure. Chapter IV explores social discrimination and the probable emergence of a class system, analyzed in the context of the split of pan-Korean nationalism into two factions of South Korean "Us" and North Korean "Them." It examines the reasons behind the growing social distance between North and South Koreans, and notes differences between northern and southern cultural and societal values. Chapter IV also addresses the potential social discrimination challenges that the North Korean defectors will face when assimilating into a vastly different southern society, and argues that social integration will come with an underlying layer of discrimination and classification of North Koreans as "second class citizens who form a new minority group in the South Korean society."
Download or read book Rural Migration In Developing Nations written by Calvin Goldscheider and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the relationship between migration and rural social structure? How does the selective movement out of rural areas affect the economic and social conditions of migrants, their families, and their places of origin? Addressing these and other questions, the contributors to this book consider rural migration patterns in the context of social change and economic development in three less developed nations: Korea, Sri Lanka, and Mali. Through comparative analysis the authors reveal both the diversity and the cross-national similarities of rural migration, offering theoretical bases for its interpretation and pointing to policy implications for developing areas.
Download or read book Koreans Between Korea and New Zealand written by Bon Giu Koo and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this research is to document the migration processes of Korean international migrants and to explore the meanings of this movement for the participants and the sending and receiving countries, drawing on the theoretical framework of transnationalism. This research is a multi-sited ethnography conducted in several cities in Korea and New Zealand. The main research method is life history interviews along with participant observation. The research found that a new social field between the two countries has been created since New Zealand allowed mass immigration from Korea, and some Korean middle class have used this transnational social field to amass symbolic capitals for their status escalation and reproduction in Korea. As Korea had undergone rapid neo-liberal reform, after the economic crisis in 1997, this social field has been used by Koreans to access membership of another nation state which has a well-equipped welfare system and to gain entry to the education system in an English speaking country. In terms of settlement, these immigrants concentrate on achieving a transnational livelihood, building their community as part of the transnational social field where they can be embedded simultaneously in Korea while living in New Zealand. They adopt transnational and cosmopolitan identities to maximise their opportunities in this social field. Korean international migration to New Zealand is one example of global population movement where people use transnationalism as a passage created by globalisation to cope with crises caused by globalisation itself. Here transnationalism is a deterritorialisation strategy against nation states' monopolistic hegemony in defining their nationals' social mobility channels.

Download or read book Labor Markets Gender and Social Stratification in East Asia written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the Asian economic crisis of the 1990s, this is the first book to examine the structure and transformation of the labor markets and social stratification of contemporary East Asia, namely Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China, focusing in particular on gender inequality. It deals with social mobility and gender differences in unemployment, temporary employment and self-employment. Additionally, gender segregation, social identity and suicide rates are also addressed. Taken together, the issues raised in this volume reinforce the advantage of a comparative approach to East Asian Studies. The findings, supported by strong statistical analysis, clearly call into question a longstanding view that East Asian gender regimes and class structure are homogeneous. Indeed, this is demonstrably not the case, as Labor Markets, Gender and Social Stratification in East Asia shows, revealing as it does considerable diversities in labor markets, gender regimes, and social mobility within East Asian societies due to historical and institutional differences. Contributors include: Chang Chin-Fen, Kim Young-Mi, Oda Akiko, Phang Hanam, Sakaguchi Yusuke, Shibata Haruka, Takamatsu Rie, Takenoshita Hirohisa, Tarohmaru Hiroshi, Xie Guihua, and Yamato Reiko.
