이 연구의 주된 목적은 한국에 거주하는 국제결혼 부부의 사회인구학적 상이성이 결혼안정성에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것이다. 이 연구는 "2009년 전국 다문화가족 실태조사" 자료를 활용하여 국제결혼이 연령과 교육수준이 동질적인 선택혼(positive assortative matching)의 형태로 이루어지는가의 여부를 확인하고자 시도하였다. 그리고 외국인 아내의 출신국가별로 부부의 연령상이성과 교육상이성 지수를 계산하고, 이 지수들과 평균 결혼지속기간과의 관계를 분석하였다. 이 연구는 또한 미시수준에서 부부의 연령 및 교육수준 격차가 결혼만족도, 결혼지속기간과 이혼확률의 편차를 설명하는데 얼마나 도움이 되는가를 검증하였다. 이 연구의 분석결과, 국제결혼 부부의 연령과 교육수준 격차가 내국인 부부들의 경우보다 현저하게 크게 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 외국인 아내를 구하는 한국 남자들이 배우자와의 사회인구학적 격차에 대해 보다 개방적이고 융통적일 것이라고 가정한 국제결혼개방성 가설(the transnational openness hypothesis)이 지지되었다. 부부의 사회인구학적 격차가 커질수록 결혼의 해체가능성이 높아지고 결혼지속기간이 짧아질 것이라는 기존 연구의 가설은 한국에 거주하는 국제결혼 부부들에는 적용되지 않는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

1990년대 이후 초국적 이주에 의한 국제결혼 부부가 증가하고 있다. 따라서 그동안 이에 대한 많은 연구가 있었으나 접근방법 등의 한계로 결혼이주여성의 이주배경 및 국제결혼 부부의 적응에 대한 충분한 분석이 이루어지지 않고 있다. 이러한 문제의식에 따라 본 연구는 대구, 경북지역 국제결혼 부부 대상의 설문조사 및 심층면접 자료를 바탕으로 이들의 이주배경과 적응에 대하여 분석하였다. 국제이주배경에 관한 설문조사 분석결과 국제결혼 부부의 세계적 사항에 대한 인지도는 매우 높게 나타났으나, 이러한 거시적 배경은 부부 적응에 그다지 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 그들 부부의 삶과 적응에 직접적으로 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되는 상대방에 대한 사전 인지정도는 부부 모두 매우 낮은 것으로 분석되었다.

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.

The purpose of this study is to understand the living culture of transnational married women and to analyze the out door play of children in their hometown. The data was collected through observation from 27th June to 7th July 2008 in Jian, Jilin Province China. The children's play and lifestyles were observed, and data pertaining to the culture of the people were collected by a teacher and staff. We also visited the residents for housing information. The results are given below. 1. They dressed in Korean clothes on festive days and the boys put on a hood. They had eating habits which included cooking for themselves or buying semi-manufactured goods but did not use, instant food. The housing habits involved a combination of cooking and heating by Korean floor heating system(Ondol). They utilized outdoor space to grow vegetables. Those with a fulltime job(teacher) preferred to live in an apartment but an apartment was too expensive. Public utility charges and traffic expenses were cheap. 2. The main festive days are the lunar New Year's Day and Chuseok. The children returned home and enjoyed the festive day with their parents. The language used are Korean language and Chinese. Some Korean words and phrases in Jian Joseonjok have different meanings as compared to how they are used in Korea. A capping ceremony did not to celebrate becoming an adult from an adolescent. Couples performed a wedding ceremony at a wedding hall attended by their parents and invited relatives from both families. The relatives gave the couple a wedding gift. They did not go on a wedding trip as it was not affordable but instead spent their wedding night at a hotel in this culture. When someone dies, they bury the body after cremation. They perform a memorial service for three years on the birthday of the departed. They have a banquet on the 60th birthdays with their relatives and neighbours and are typically presented with a carp for longevity. 3. They understand capitalism and therefore send their children to school to improve their social position. The Korean and Chinese languages are required subjects in school. The students choose a second language(English or Russian). They prefer English class but at the time of this study an English class was not offered at the school in Jian Joseonjok. Therefore the children entered a Chinese school. 4. The children play outdoor games such as Y$\acute{a}$o J$\grave{i}\bar{a}$(要家), X$\grave{i}$ang g$\grave{i}$(象棋), T$\grave{i}\grave{a}$o p$\acute{i}$ j$\grave{i}$n(r)(跳皮節), D$\grave{o}$uch ing g$\grave{u}$n 凍冷根, B$\bar{e}$i B$\bar{e}$i 背背, and soccer.
