이 연구는 국제결혼이주여성이 노동자에서 배우자, 어머니, 시민이라는 사회적 위치의 변화 과정에 따라 자신들의 정체성과 주체성도 달라지고 있음을 구미지역에 거주하는 8명의 이주여성을 대상으로 심층 인터뷰 방법으로 분석하였다. 본 연구는 이주여성들의 생애사적 체험을 토대로 개인적인 삶을 재구성하고 해석하는 과정을 중심으로 살펴보았다. 사례분석 결과, 이주여성들은 미혼여성노동자, 배우자, 어머니, 시민이라는 자신들이 처한 사회적 위치성에 따라 자신의 정체성이 유동되어짐을 보여주었다. 사회적 위치성은 이주라는 공간이동을 통하여 발생하는 새로운 영역과 사회적 관계를 동시에 보여준다. 본국의 과거성에서 출발하는 자신의 정체성은 정착국의 상황, 조건에 따라 변화하는 모습을 보이고 있었다. 결혼이주여성이 정책의 대상이나 매스컴의 대상으로 부각되면서 상대적으로 이주여성을 어려운 생활에 있는 피해자나 빈곤한 나라에서 온 무지한 자로 자신들을 상정하는 것에 결혼이주여성은 강한 거부감을 표시하였다. 이것은 주체적으로 선택한 국제결혼에 대한 이중적인 감정이 나타나고 있음을 보여준다. 그러나 정부정책으로 인한 결혼이민자가족지원센터라는 공간의 형성은 이들에게 집단적 여성주체로 설 수 있는 단초를 제공해 주었다. 그 결과 국제결혼이주여성을 결혼하기 위해 이주해 온 단일그룹으로서가 아닌 행위 주체로서의 이주여성들에 대한 다양하고 복잡한 상황들을 반영할 수 있는 연구들이 요구된다.

This thesis is based on an in-depth interview on participation experience of ten immigrants who reside in S Multi-cultural Family Support Center that is located in Gyeonggi-do in Korea Immigration & Integration Program(KIIP). The purpose of this research is to present through it's basic data for improvement in the operation of KIIP in the future by grasping participation process in KIIP that the immigrants have experienced, problems involved in their operation, and related requirements. Major results of the research are as follows: First, the motive for the immigrants' participation in KIIP was to acquire Korean nationality, learn Korean, and prepare for their future in Korea. Second, as a difficulty in participation in KIIP, access to educational institutions loomed large. Third, regarding improvements in the operation of KIIP, marriage immigrants needed to continue Korean language education, whereas other immigrants revealed a demand for opening evening classes or weekend classes. In the final analysis, it seems that for KIIP to provide an opportunity for the immigrants to have a vision for their life in the future, as well as for its realization in Korean society, policy-oriented institutional support that pays attention to their life situation and demands is badly needed.

The purpose of this study is to provide useful insights into community-level support services for family caregivers in Korea by comparing them with the services in the United States. Similar to most developed countries, life expectancy has led to rapid population aging in Korea over the last several decades. However, despite increased social needs of long-term care for the elderly, many elderly Koreans are still dependent on their family for the long-term care. Yet, existing support programs for family caregivers are very limited. As a result, family caregivers often suffer from a lack of financial resources and emotional support. In this study, we comprehensively review the extensive literature, including relevant studies and documents of community-level support services for family caregivers of the elderly at home in Korea and the United States. One of the most important differences is that compared to Korea, diverse services based on the law of NFCSP to support the family caregivers, such as counseling, organization of support group, and educating have been available in the United States since 2000. Additionally, the legal definition of family caregivers in the United State is broader than that in Korea, where family caregivers are limited to those who are related by blood or marriage. Therefore, more caregivers are eligible for support programs and benefit from the programs in the United States. The findings of the study suggest that policy makers in Korea should legislate for diverse and comprehensive services for family caregivers. Further, it is necessary to define legal terms for family caregivers more broadly to extend beneficiaries of the programs.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors associated with the self-rated health of married immigrant women in South Korea. Methods: Data, collected in August 2018, were derived from the 2018 National Multicultural Family Survey. Study subjects were 9,230 married immigrant women. Data were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: Of the study subjects, 23.2% rated their health as poor. Results showed that individual factors (age, ethnic affiliation, duration in South Korea, and depressive symptoms); social and community networks (relationship with spouse, parenting efficacy, Korean proficiency, perceived discrimination, social support, and social activities); and living and working conditions (life satisfaction and unmet heath needs) were associated with health. Married immigrant women in their 50s or older, living in Korea for more than 15 years, experiencing depressive symptoms, low life satisfaction, and having unmet health needs were especially at high risk of poor health. Conclusion: More detailed health policy that considers age, length of stay, and country of origin. To prevent the rapidly deteriorating health of married immigrant women after middle age, mental health support should be given priority, and systematic improvement is needed to increase accessibility healthcare services.

Korea is facing a significant problem with historically low fertility rates, which is becoming a major social issue affecting the economy, labor force, and national security. This study analyzes the factors contributing to the regional gap in fertility rates and derives policy implications. The government and local authorities are implementing a range of policies to address the issue of low fertility. To establish an effective strategy, it is essential to identify the primary factors that contribute to regional disparities. This study identifies these factors and explores policy implications through machine learning and explainable artificial intelligence. The study also examines the influence of media and public opinion on childbirth in Korea by incorporating news and online community sentiment, as well as sentiment fear indices, as independent variables. To establish the relationship between regional fertility rates and factors, the study employs four machine learning models: multiple linear regression, XGBoost, Random Forest, and Support Vector Regression. Support Vector Regression, XGBoost, and Random Forest significantly outperform linear regression, highlighting the importance of machine learning models in explaining non-linear relationships with numerous variables. A factor analysis using SHAP is then conducted. The unemployment rate, Regional Gross Domestic Product per Capita, Women's Participation in Economic Activities, Number of Crimes Committed, Average Age of First Marriage, and Private Education Expenses significantly impact regional fertility rates. However, the degree of impact of the factors affecting fertility may vary by region, suggesting the need for policies tailored to the characteristics of each region, not just an overall ranking of factors.

This study is to explain the nature of transnational activities being involved in by Filipina intermarriage migrants in Korea by examining the institutional backgrounds of market, society and the state. The increasing number of Filipina intermarriage with Korean coincides with the advance of liberal market economy, which governs internal and bilateral interactions between and among the three institutions in both countries. While existing various reasons for engaging in intermarriage, a significant number of Filipina wives in Korea ventured into it with uncertain expectations that they might earn better lives and could support their families. Such hopes usually turn out in vain when they meet the real lives in Korea. It is mainly because their spouses in Korea would rather be those who left behind in the marriage market due to their lack of competitiveness. Filipina wives are also suffering from social isolation caused by language and other barriers such as family relations or rural life they might settle in. Their transnational activities usually tend to be their effort to breakthrough their unexpected condition of difficult lives in Korea. They usually make use of transnational sort of community activities to cultivate chances to engage in bread earning activity. Migrant's transnational activity has a great impact on sociocultural changes in the country of origin and of arrival. Transnational activity provides migrants with economic opportunities, and uplifts self-esteem as well. Intermarriage couples, especially with Southeast Asian wives, and their offsprings show a tendency of downward assimilation to Korean society. Korean state policy toward them should not simply apply undiscriminated assimilation theory, but take into account their possible strength of transnational identity with which they could find a means to integrate themselves successfully into the mainstream Korean society.

합계출산율이 2005년 1.08이라는 최저치에서 2006년 1.13으로 증가하면서, 이 증가가 각종 정책의 결과이기 때문에 출산력 증가가 지속될 것이라는 주장과 일시적일 것이라는 주장 간 논란이 있다. 이 연구는 인구동태신고 자료를 활용하여 최근의 출산력 변화를 집중적으로 살펴봄으로써 정책 시사점을 찾고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 출산순위별 템포조정합계출산율, 모의 연령 및 출산순위별 출산율, 연령별 유배우 출산율, 연령별 유배우 이혼율 등을 분석하였다. 전년대비 2006년 합계출산율과 출생아수가 증가한 것은 여성의 초혼과 첫째아 출산의 연기가 주춤해지면서 주로 30대 초반의 첫째아 출산 증가에 기인한다. 2006년과 2007년에는 20대 후반 여성인구의 증가(제3차 베이비붐 효과) 및 초혼의 급증으로 2007년과 2008년에는 출생아수가 증가할 것이다. 다만, 20대의 미혼율은 증가하구 유배우 출산율은 감소 추세이어서 장기적 관점의 출생아수 및 출산율 증가는 미지수이다. 또한, 첫째아와 둘째아의 출산율은 급속도로 저하되는데 반해, 셋째아 이상은 변화가 없으며, 둘째아 출산이 출산연령조정의 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 셋째아 이상을 출산하도록 장려하는 것보다는 첫째아, 둘째아를 낳을 수 있는 사회적 환경 조성이 더 필요하고 현실적임을 시사한다. 아울러, 사회적 양육대책 마련, 고령출산에 따른 모자보건문제, 다문화가정지원책 필요성 등을 언급하고 있다.
