Objectives: This study explores the characteristics of family migration for North Korean defectors and classifies family migration by examining who initiated the migration and who followed. Method: We analyzed the family migration using detailed stories from fifty-five North Korean defectors who were interviewed between 2005 and 2011. Results: We found that 43 out of 55 cases were family migration and the remaining 12 cases were single person migration. We also found several characteristics typical of migration. First, family migration followed the process of step migration, which indicated a serial migration in numbers. Second, migration relied heavily on informal social networks. Finally, the process of earlier migration by North Koreans was incidental and unexpected; however, unexpectedness has diminished in recent migration. Looking at who initiated the migration, the most common type was 'mother-initiated' cases (14 cases) followed by 'child-initiated' cases (10 cases). The third most common type was 'mother-child accompanied' cases (7 cases). The migration process was various; however the most common type was when a married woman initiated the family migration process. This is most likely because married women have the responsibility to support families in the informal economy of North Korea. According to the range of family migrated, the most common type was 'nuclear-family only' cases (22 cases) followed by 'maternal extended family migration' cases (12 cases). Conclusions: The findings of this study provide information on the family dynamics of North Korean defectors.

Migration studies that assume that decision making is done on an individual basis is overlooking the importance of the family factor. Considering that must people belong to families, it is more appropriate to view migration decision from the perspective of the family. This study analyzes the household migration decision whereby the alternatives are to stay, 10 undertake family migration or to undertake single migration of a member. In developing a conceptual model of household migration decision, it is assumed that the household's objective is to maximize household income which is a function of individual members' earnings. The benefits and costs of household migration and individual migration are identified and the household chooses the migration strategy that maximizes expected household income. When household members have conflicting earning prospects in the potential destination, the household considers single migration of the member with the best earning potentials. However, lone migration by a household member involves cost of family separation which is both monetary and psychic, and this study shows that lone migration is undertaken only when its net gains to the family are greater than the separation cost of the family. The major benefit of choosing single migration is the retention of home base in the place of origin which can serve as an insurance against the uncertainty of obtaining a job in the destination, the benefit that is unavailable in family migration. The conceptual analysis shows how a household's migration decision would depend on its members' economic roles and prospects in the destination. Besides the economic variables, social and life cycle variables of the family translate into separation costs and benefits of migration. This study indicates that one - earner family in low economic status but with good earning prospects and high separation costs is more likely to choose family migration over single migration.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how marriage migration females understand and adjust to the culture of family life in Korea. The study was the conducted by extensively interviewing one member from each of a total of 16 women's multicultural families at a daycare center area in Seoul between June 16, 2010 and July 28, 2010. The results can be summarized as follows: All interviewees were marriage migration females, in the range 20 to 50 years of age, and with middle educational backgrounds. They all had middle-level incomes. Through the content analysis of the informants' responses, three major factors were found to influence the understanding and adjustment of to the culture of family living: personal factors, familial support, and sociocultural support systems. Among the personal factors, the intimacy of the married couples was trouble major factor. An issue that tended to arise was that Korean husbands' traditional culture in terms of their way of thinking was often different from that of the wife's culture. However, husbands supported their wives' outside activities and friendships in order to help them adjust to the culture of family living. The husbands made an effort to understand their wives' original culture and national food, often visiting restaurants that served their wives' national cuisine. In terms of familial support, the most important factors affecting marriage migration females were orienting the education of children to the mother's native language, cooking their national foods, and visiting the mother's nation with the children. Marriage migration females had the following requires: The teacher in the daycare center needed to be interested in children from multicultural families and encourage self-pride in the marriage migration females' children. In terms of sociocultural support systems, marriage migration females are conscious of the indisposition and lack of consideration in Korean life. However, the Korean government and local provinces are concentrating attention on education for marriage migration females in terms of language, because learning the language can help these women to become accustomed to the rituals of Korean life. Marriage migration females make an effort to understand and adjust to Korean family living culture that involves the food culture for ceremonial occasions, folk plays, and places of historic interest. A matter of importance is Korean people's effort to understand and adjust to multicultural family with their distinctive cultures. Welfare policy related to multicultural families involves adopting supportive laws and actions.

While economic incentives have led to migration, the failure to adapt to a new city and to ease the financial burden to support families have raised migrants' intention to return to their hometowns. Using the 2016 China Migrants Dynamic Survey, this study investigates determinants of migrants' intention to return. Migration at a young age, which is associated with lower barriers to the new culture, and intraprovince migration requiring less effort to adapt to the new city, were associated with lower intention to return. Also, migrants with less burden to support a family tend to have a higher intention to return to rural hometowns. Specifically, migrants with children over 18 years old and fewer family members are likely to return to their hometowns. To revitalize rural economy and reduce the rural-urban disparity, a policy to support migrants with high intention to return will be needed.

The paper explores the return migration choice of graduates, which takes place during the transition from higher education to the labor market. Graduate students, after a short time in temporary migration to cities for studying, have to make a decision of returning back home or staying in migration in urban areas for working. Drawing on the mechanism identified in the literature on internal migration, this empirical research tests the effects of two factors: place attractiveness and social supports factors on graduates' decision to return migration to hometown. A binary logit regression analysis was conducted with data from 502 surveyed graduates in Hanoi, Vietnam. The analysis of the motives reported by graduates indicates that return migration decisions cannot be reduced to a single dimension. Perceived attractiveness of a region such as quality of living environment, job opportunities, and social context of individuals positively impact on student' decision to return migration after graduation. The research results imply that, in a collectivistic country like Vietnam, students' choice of future career is strongly influenced by their social context, and choosing a place to work is not simply a matter of earning a higher salary or enjoying better working conditions, but is also related to family issues.

This study was examined the level of satisfaction in rural settlement and analyzed its differences according to various demographic variables and characteristics of urban-rural migration. The analysis was conducted by considering returning farmers residing in rural areas. A statistical analysis was conducted using t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Duncan's multiple-range test with a total of 210 responses. First, satisfaction with the convenience of living facilities varied significantly according to the occupation before urban-rural migration, responses of family members and friends to urban-rural migration, and the initial capital for urban-rural migration. Second, satisfaction with the natural environment varied significantly according to age and reasons for urban-rural migration. Third, satisfaction with the transportation environment varied significantly according to gender, the period of residence after urban-rural migration, and the employment type of the returning farmer. Fourth, satisfaction with neighborliness varied significantly according to parents' occupation, agricultural experience before urban-rural migration, experience in agriculture-related social life before urban-rural migration, reasons for urban-rural migration, the type of urban-rural migration, and the employment type of the returning farmer. Fifth, satisfaction with the agricultural environment varied significantly according to responses of family members and friends to urban-rural migration, the period of residence after urban-rural migration, and reasons for urban-rural migration. Sixth, satisfaction with the housing environment varied significantly according to the residential area, the agricultural experience before urban-rural migration, and the period of residence after urban-rural migration.

다문화 사회로의 진입을 목전에 두고 있는 한국사회에서, 이주배경 청소년들의 총체적 이주경험은 그간 실천적 학문적으로 충분히 논의되지 못해 왔다. 국외 실증연구들의 결과와 이론적 논의에 의하면 이주와 연관되어 출생지에서 경험하는 유수기간 및 유수기간 내 동거인의 차이와 이주 이후의 거주기간, 가족과 또래의 지지 등 정주지 사회에서의 경험은 이주경험이라는 큰 틀에서 설명될 수 있는 것이며, 이는 이주배경 청소년들의 정신건강에 적지 않은 영향을 미치는 요인이다. 이에 본 연구는 탐색적 시론적인 연구로서, 이주배경 청소년들의 이주이전 경험과 이주이후 경험 그리고 우울, 불안, 자살생각 등의 부정적 정신건강문제 간의 관계를 살펴보았다. 연구결과, 이주이전의 유수기간과 유수기간 내 주 양육자 이외 친척, 형제, 친구와의 동거여부는 이주이후 또래와 가족의 지지 및 한국문화적응 수준과 마찬가지로 현재의 부정적 정신건강문제들과 연관성을 나타냈다. 본 연구는 이와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 정책적 실천적 함의 등을 논의하였다.

이 논문은 젊은 맞벌이 부부들 상호간에 교육정도와 소득수준의 차이가 가족의 지리적 이동에 미치는 영향을 지위불일치(status inconsistency)라는 개념을 통해서 살펴보았다. 미국의 패널데이타인 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 79를 이용하여 부부간의 지위불일치가 이동 성향과 이동 방향에 미치는 영향을 로지스틱 모형으로 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 우선, 아내의 교육정도가 남편의 교육정도보다 높은 부부일수록 아내의 교육정도가 낮은 부부에 비해 이동할 확률이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 남편과 아내의 지위불일치는 도시와 농촌간의 이동방향에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그러나, 지위불일치가 가족의 이동에 미치는 영향에 있어서는 성에 따른 차이가 나타났다. 여성의 경우, 배우자의 지위가 높을 경우 이것이 이동성향에 있어 유의미한 차이를 나타냈지만, 남성의 경우는 배우자의 지위가 상대적으로 높다할지라도 이동확률에 별다른 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은, 자녀 유무와 연령이 통제될때, 가족의 지리적 이동확률과 방향은 아내와 남편간의 인적자본정도와 시장에서의 수익능력 차에 의해서 결정된다는 인적자본론이나 가족자원론과는 달리 전통적인 성역할 차이로 설명했던 성역할이론과 더 일치한다고 볼 수 있다.
