The purpose of this study was to examine the general characteristics and the variety of family life experiences related to the life satisfaction of multicultural families with school-aged children. Data were drawn from the first wave of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey conducted in 2010 and developed by the National Youth Policy Institute. Further, the sample for this study consisted of 95 multicultural families who met the requirements. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, the t -test, analysis of variance, and multiple regression using SPSS ver. 18.0. The main results showed that family life experiences that were made up of 5 domains, specifically time, leisure, household economy, health, and child education had a broad range of levels. In addition, family life experiences differed according to the general characteristics of multicultural families with school-aged children, such as mother's employment status, number of children, father's employment status and education level, and family composition. Lastly, their life satisfaction was significantly predicted by the father's employment status and health, children's age, children's education, and leisure in the order of significance. These findings suggested the need to expand the social intervention range for multicultural families with school-aged children, particularly in terms of family leisure and children's school life adaptation.

Maternal interaction behavior, language input and children's language of 34 multicultural families were compared with those of ordinary families. MLU's of multicultural mothers and their children were shorter than those of ordinary Korean mothers and children. Positive maternal interaction behaviors of multicultural mothers were significantly lower than those of ordinary mothers. Correlational analyses revealed that there were positive correlations among maternal interaction behaviors, mother's MLU and children' MLU in multicultural families. However, there were no such correlations in ordinary families. Findings suggest language education and support for multicultural mothers be an effective policy for their children's language development.

This study identifies the present status of multicultural broadcasting programs as multicultural phenomenon is spreading throughout Korean society and it discusses how a local broadcasting has to reflect locality and multicultural characteristic. A notion on the local of multimedia and multichannel time is expanding as a concept of emotional and psychological territory over geographical space. Therefore the locality should reflect attachment and interests of its members as well as disseminating multicultural reality. A locality for broadcasting should accept differences, reflect a cultural diversity, and satisfy its dynamics. The purpose of this study is to inquire whether a local broadcasting is performing its function as a local press and a place forpublic opinions by examining how they reflect reality of local, where an inflow of Immigrants and their cultures are altering the place as a multicultural society, and what Programs they propose. This study also presents media education for immigrants, revitalization of community, multicultural education about local citizens, and practical use of multicultural contents and small output radio as a source of supply for local broadcasting program in order to harmonize production of multlcultural media contents In local society.

Background: This study investigated the health behaviors of North Korean, multicultural, and Korean family adolescents in Korea. Methods: The study subjects were from the Korea youth risk behavior web-based survey (2011-2013) dataset. We identified 1,954 multicultural family adolescents and twice as many Korean family adolescents. Frequency analysis was used to assess nativity and nationality of the parents, and the chi-square test was used to compare the general characteristics and health behavior of the multicultural and Korean families. Conditional multiple logistic regression was used to compare health behavior between multicultural and Korean families. Results: Of the 5,862 multicultural and Korean family adolescents, current smoking in North Korean family adolescents was higher than Korean family adolescents (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.32; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.60-3.35) after adjusting for sex, school year, perceived school record, family structure, father's education, mother's education, perceived economic status, place of residence, and survey year. A high drinking rate was significantly greater in North Korean family adolescents compared to Korean family adolescents (aOR, 2.94; 95% CI, 1.89-4.57). Odds ratios for sufficient physical activity of vigorous intensity (aOR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.31-2.54) were significantly higher in North Korean family adolescents than in Korean family adolescents. Fast food intake (aOR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.34-2.86) was significantly higher in North Korean family adolescents compared to Korean family adolescents. Conclusion: There were differences in health behavior between North Korean, multicultural, and Korean family adolescents. Further studies are needed to investigate the factors associated with these differences.

Background: Multicultural families are constantly on the rise as marriage migrants and foreign workers increase. Multicultural families appear to record poor health levels compared to native families. As health is a social issue, children of surviving generations of multicultural families are also a growing interest. This study was conducted to confirm the effect of multicultural families and parents' educational level on the scaling experience of children. Methods: For this study, the 2016~2018 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey data were used. In order to make the two groups of adolescents belonging to multicultural and native families similar, a total of 5,362 people were included in the survey, consisting of 2,681 individuals each from multicultural and native families using the propensity score matching method. Logistic analysis was performed to identify factors influencing the scaling experience of adolescent children. Results: The results confirm that, even after controlling for factors such as parents' educational level, household income, and children's oral health behavior, parents' nationality appeared to have a statistically significant effect on their children's scaling experience. In addition, it was confirmed that the experience of oral health education had a significant effect. Conclusion: Cultural heterogeneity and the lack of adequate language ability of immigrants affects health behavior and medical accessibility. Therefore, children from multicultural families are more likely to be exposed to unhealthy environments compared to the children of native Korean families. Based on an understanding of the socioeconomic multicultural background of individuals, education and public policy should be prepared to improve the awareness for the need for preventive oral health and provide unhindered accessibility to dental services.

한국 사회는 국제결혼과 외국인 근로자 유입으로 다문화 가정이 급속히 증가하고 있으며, 이에 따라 다문화 가정 출신 자녀들의 군 입대도 늘어나고 있다. 2030년에는 연간 1만 명 이상의 다문화 가정 출신 장병이 입대할 것으로 전망된다. 이는 저출산으로 인한 병력 자원 감소 문제를 완화하고 군의 문화적 다양성을 제고하는 기회가 될 수 있다. 그러나 군 내 다문화 인식 부족과 차별 요소는 다문화 장병들이 건강한 군 생활을 영위하는 데 어려움을 초래할 수 있다. 본 연구는 대한민국 군의 다문화 현상을 분석하고, 다문화 장병의 안정적 복무와 건전한 병영문화 조성을 위한 발전 방안을 모색하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 다문화주의와 군대 내 다양성에 대한 이론적 배경을 살펴보고, 해외 다문화 군대 운영 사례를 분석한다. 또한, 다문화 장병 관리 방안으로 리더십 및 조직문화 혁신, 다문화 교육 및 인식개선 프로그램, 맞춤형 지원체계 구축을 제안하며, 대한민국 군의 다문화 정책 실효성을 높이기 위한 제도적 개선 방향을 제시한다. 다문화 장병의 성공적인 군 생활을 지원하는 것은 군의 전투력 향상과 한국 사회의 다문화 수용성 제고에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the health risk behaviors, mental health and subjective health status of adolescents in multicultural families and monocultural (Korean) families. This study was conducted to prepare basic data for education and policy proposals related to health promotion of adolescents in multicultural families. Methods: The study was a secondary analysis using the raw data of the 15th Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (2019). A complex sample multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to understand the influence of growing up in a multicultural family on health risk behaviors, mental health and subjective health status by comparing the variables to those of monocultural adolescents. Results: Adolescents from multicultural families had a 3.3 times higher rate of drug use experience, 1.89 times higher rate of sexual experience, and 1.24 times higher rate of not wearing seat belts. In addition, the rate of not washing hands and the rate of suicide attempts were 1.34-1.50 times and 1.62 times higher, respectively, compared to adolescents from monocultural families. Conclusion: This study showed that it is necessary to develop appropriate health promotion programs to solve the problems of drug use, sexual intercourse, not wearing seat belts, not washing hands, and attempting suicides, which are more prevalent among adolescents from multicultural families than from monocultural families. It will serve a basic policy for the long-term development and growth of Korea at this critical time when multicultural adolescents are increasing.

다문화 가정의 증가는 전세계적으로 일어나고 있는 현상이다. 이에 정부와 자방자치단체에서도 다문화 관련 정책을 시행 및 지원을 하고 있다. 그러나 다문화 구성원에게 필요한 서비스라기 보다는 정책적인 사항으로 진행이 되고 있어 정작 수요자인 다문화 구성원들이 정부나 지방자치단체가 지원하고 있는 정책에 대해 얼마나 필요성을 느끼고 하고 있으며, 필요한 서비스가 무엇인지 등에 대한 욕구를 전혀 파악하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 또한 다문화와 관련된 연구들은 많이 진행되고 있으나 아직까지 다문화 비즈니스 모델에 관한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내의 다문화 정책 및 사례를 전문가 인터뷰와 다문화 구성원 인터뷰를 통해 다문화 구성원에게 필요한 비즈니스 모델을 설계하고 이를 비교 분석하여 최종적인 비즈니스 모델(교육기관 다문화구성원 간 자녀학습 관리 온라인 서비스 사업, 다문화 자녀 대상 학습 콘텐츠 제공 사업, 다문화 구성원 간 온라인 소통서비스 사업, 다문화 콘텐츠 공유/교류 서비스 지원 사업, 다문화 구성원 직업역량 개발 콘텐츠 제공 사업)과 전략 방안을 제시하였다.
