Abstract

The definition of digital poverty of multicultural families has not been changed since it was used at the first digital divide survey in 2012. The objective of this study is to reexamine and redefine digital poverty targets of digital divide survey for multicultural families. The results suggest to reexamine multicultural families rather than limiting to Immigrant women for digital poverty. The results were as follows. First, the current survey has been limited to the migrant women for information gap survey of married migrants. But, It is expected to increase immigrant men in the future. It should include migrant men in the marginalized target in terms of preparation for a multicultural society. Second, the current survey has been limited to the migrant women for information gap survey. But, It is expected to increase children of multicultural families. This information gap is likely to be linked to differences in education or future economic disparities for children of multicultural families. It should include children of multicultural families in the marginalized target in digital divide survey.

현재 정보소외계층 대상으로서 다문화가정에 대한 정의는 2012년 정부가 다문화가정에 대한 정보격차조사를 시작했던 당시의 기준을 그대로 사용하고 있다. 본 연구의 목표는 정보소외계층으로서 다문화가정에 대해 검토하고 재 정의 하고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 현재는 결혼이주민 중 정보소외대상으로 정보격차조사 대상을 결혼이주여성에 한정하고 있으나, 향후 결혼 혹은 이주노동자 등의 신분으로 결혼이주남성 역시 증가할 것으로 예상되며, 실제 증가하고 있는 추세에 있다. 다문화사회를 대비한다는 측면에서 볼 때 정보소외대상에 결혼이주남성까지 포함해야 한다. 둘째, 현재 다문화가정에서 정보소외대상으로서 다루어지고 있는 대상은 결혼이주여성에 한정하고 있으나, 결혼이주를 통해 형성된 가정의 아동 역시 정보격차문제를 겪고 있다. 다문화가정 아동의 정보격차가 문제시되는 것은 이러한 정보격차가 교육격차나 향후 경제격차로까지 연계될 가능성이 높기 때문이다. 따라서 향후 정부의 정보격차지수 및 실태조사의 대상범위에 다문화가정의 아동을 포함시켜야 한다.
