농어촌지역의 인구감소로 인한 인력난 해소를 위하여 국가적으로 농·어가당 외국인 고영허용 인원을 확대하고 농가의 경우 계절 근로제도 대상 적용 작물 제한을 없애는 등 인력확보를 위해 노력하고 있다. 외국인 근로자와 국제결혼 증가로 인하여 국내 체류 외국인 수는 지속적으로 증가추세를 보이고 있으며, 코로나 19 이전 2019년 12월 말에 체류 외국인이 252만 명으로 대한민국 전체 인구의 4.9%에 해당하며, 통상 학계에서는 외국인 비율이 5%를 넘으면 다문화사회로 분류한다. 지속적인 외국인 근로자 및 다문화 가구의 증가에 따라 지역사회에서 갈등이 발생하고 있으며, 다문화사회로 분류된 상황에서 외국인 근로자 및 다문화 가구를 지역사회의 일원으로 인식하고 갈등을 적극적으로 해결할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 남해군 미조권역의 사례를 바탕으로 외국인 근로자 및 다문화 가구와 원주민과의 갈등관리를 위한 시설물 및 프로그램 계획, 현안갈등과 잠재적갈등 관리 방안을 제안하여 어촌지역 다문화사회의 발전을 도모할 수 있는 실질적인 연구 수행의 의의가 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the recently rising number of foreign drug offenders in Korea and suggest improvement measures for the Korean drug policy. Method: This paper analyzed the preceding research, statistical data, etc., on related fields and referred to overseas cases to suggest improvement measures. Result: The foreign population living in Korea increased in 2000s, and the foreign drug offender cases are increasing accordingly. The survey on foreign drug offenses showed that the case of foreign drug offender is higher than the case of Korean drug offenders by 1.2 to 3.3 times. In 2021, the foreign drug offender cases increased by 6.5 times compared to 2012. Especially, the number of psychoactive drug-related drug offenses increased dramatically. The drug smuggling also remarkably increased starting from 2016 as some people earned a lot of money from smuggling the drugs Conclusion: To cope with the foreign drug offenders effectively, this paper suggested intensive monitoring of the foreign drug offenders and weighting on the drug offenders depending on their home country to intensify the entry standards on foreigners who are likely to smuggle drugs.

본 연구는 국내외 이주와 교육 분야에 관련 전문가 부재 현상에 대한 바른 방향을 제시해보고자 한다. 1998년 IMF로 많은 해외이주자와 유학생이 증가했지만 2010년 현재는 해외이주자와 유학생이 오히려 한국으로 역 이주와 유학이 증가하고 있다. 또한 한국 내에서도 국제결혼과 외국인 노동자의 증가로 단일민족이 아닌 다문화사회로의 준비를 해야 한다. 학교들 측면에서도 한국 내에 대안학교들의 학력인정과 국제학교와 외국 유명대학 연계 한국 내에 정착은 2007년 이래 외국인 100만 시대에 접한 우리 대학들이 다문화가족 자녀와 외국인 학생 유치에 방법을 찾아야 한다고 판단한다.

This paper investigates empirically the impact of foreign investors on a firm's dividend and investment decision making in Korean stock market. Empirical results using the sample firms in non-financial firms listed in Korean stock market whose settlement month are December, we find that foreign investors who declared participation in management didn't exert significant impact on dividend increase. In the case of investment, foreign investors exerts significant impact on R&D investments. Using Hausman-Taylor Instrumental Variable method, we controlled endogeneity problem related with foreign ownership and dividend and investment policy. The contribution of this paper is that the purpose of foreign investors whether or not participate in management is the most critical point and the impacts of foreign investors on dividends and investment are different whether they participate in management or not.

Understanding the interrelationship between regional population dynamics and cultivated land is crucial for promoting regional economic vitality and enhancing food security. While prior research often addressed population migration and changes in crop area separately, this study employs a Panel Vector Auto Regression Model to examine the dynamic interaction between regional population shifts, changes in crop area, and the influx of foreign workers in agriculture. The results reveal a reciprocal relationship between population influx and crop area, indicating a negative impact on each other. Moreover, the analysis demonstrates that an expansion in crop area, particularly in field cultivation, significantly correlates with an increase in foreign workers. These findings underscore the mutual influence of labor shortages and diminished land availability in agriculture, with the influx of foreign workers potentially offering a positive impact on addressing structural challenges in rural areas.

지난 10여년간 한국 사회는 급격한 속도로 세계화라는 변화를 경험하고 있다. 이 변화 중의 하나가 '외국인 노동자의 급증'이라는 현상이다. 지난 90년대 초부터 등장하기 시작한 외국인 노동자들은, 그 수가 급속도로 증가하면서, 외국인 노동자들의 집단거주지 까지 생기기 시작하였다. 하지만, 외국인 노동자의 유입과 관련된 사회적 변화들은 한국 사회의 세계화를 언급할 때, 흔히 '잊혀지는'(forgotten) 부분이다. (중략)

This study supplements the limitation as much as possible that existing literatures have, and, on the target of new registered businesses to KOSDAQ, this study presents answers to the worries raised earlier by recovering problems on causal relationship direction between foreigner investment and dividend level and by analyzing them with dividend level as an independent variable. First, with the whole samples used, dividend income rate didn't show significant relationship with foreigners' investments. It is similar to study result of the existing literature. A panel analysis, on the target of sample businesses that paid dividends before foreigners' investments originated, showed that foreigners' investments didn't have a significant effect on dividend rate. It means that foreigner investors don't have an effect on dividend level. But, a panel analysis of samples shows that foreigner investments have a significant thesis relationship with dividend level variable, that is dividend return rate, except the businesses which paid dividend before foreigners' investments originated. It means that in case foreign investors' preference is controlled, in the businesses which pay dividends, foreign investors have a significant effect on dividend level to native KOSDAQ. Especially, this study result is very significant, for it shows that dividend return rate, insignificant in existing studies, was significant when foreigners' preferences to the businesses which pay dividends was controlled. It means that the more foreigners' shares increase, the more relative importance of dividend out of all profits increases, compared with all of the amounts at the time, and that foreign investors stick to short-term profit and induce big dividend.

This study shows that one of the reasons behind the recent increase in international students at private universities in the Seoul metropolitan area is the financial conditions of universities that have deteriorated under the governmental regulation on college enrollment and tuition for domestic students. We provide a theoretical framework showing the possibility that universities try to avoid the regulation by admitting international students who are not subject to the regulation. Our empirical analysis of four-year private universities during 2008-2019 reveals that private universities in Seoul tend to increase the share of international students when the financial situation deteriorates.

As foreign investors' share holdings in Korean firms have dramatically increased since 1998 following the financial deregulation on the limit of foreign stock investment, the concern over the negative impacts the foreign investors would bring on the firms' financial policy has been growing too. Foreign investors were perceived to require the firms of excessive payments of cash dividends sometimes with threat of hostile takeover trials detering the firm from investing its cash flow in the physical facilities and RandD eroding their potential growth capabilities. We examine the impact of foreign investment on the firms' dividend policy using 234 listed firms' panel data over the sample periods of 1998 to 2005 employing various panel regression methodology. Foreign shareholders are found not to be related or even negatively related to the payout ratio(dividend/net income), but positively and statistically significantly related to the ratio of cash dividends to book of asset, negatively to the dividend yields. Considering the payout ratio is the most appropriate measure for the dividend payment, we can not support the arguments that the foreign investors' holdings have induced the excessive dividend level in Korean firms.

1980년대 산란 농가의 케이지는 대부분 A형이 주를 이루었으며, 1990년대에는 정부의 시설자금 지원이 본격화되면서 자동화$\cdot$대형화의 조류를 타고 외국산 직립식 케이지가 국내에 보급되기 시작하였다. 초기 직립식 케이지 설치로 평당 사육수수 증가가 가능했지만 자동화에 대한 지식 부족으로 질병과 생산성이 떨어지는 역효과도 있었다. 10년 이상 직립식 케이지에 적응하다 보니 노하우가 축적되어 대형 농장 위주로 직립식 케이지 설치가 증가하였고, 관리면에서도 안정을 보여주고 있다. 그러나 IMF이후 외국산 케이지를 설치하는 농가도 줄어들었고, 설상가상으로 정부의 시설자금 지원도 중단된 상태여서 외국산 케이지 보급이 소강상태를 보이다 최근에 와서 다시 설치가 증가하고 있다. 이와 관련하여 국내에 보급된 케이지 관리실태와 A/S현황을 알아보았다.
