The purpose of this study was to investigate Japanese female marriage immigrants' dietary life and health-related characteristics after immigration to Korea. A survey was conducted with Japanese women married to Korean men and having one child or more aged 7 to 18 years old. Data were collected from 243 women during the summer of 2014. A total of 204 questionnaires were analyzed, after excluding 39 questionnaires with a high percentage of incomplete responses (84% analysis rate). Over 85% of respondents were the members of the Unification Church, and over 92% of respondents had stayed in Korea for longer than 10 years. Based on the overall mean score for dietary adaptation level (3.68 out of 5 points), respondents were classified into two groups: low dietary adaptation group (mean score 3.12) and high dietary adaptation group (mean score 4.19). The collected data were compared between the two groups. The high dietary adaptation group reported higher percentages of decreasing consumption in processed food, confectionary, and bread than the low dietary adaptation group after immigration to Korea. A higher percentage of respondents in the high dietary adaptation group perceived their health status as good and reported changes that led to a healthier dietary life after immigration to Korea compared with those in the low dietary adaptation group. In conclusion, Japanese female marriage immigrants well adapted to Korean dietary life tended to eat healthier and perceive health status better compared with those who were not well adapted. The results of this study could be useful for prospecting dietary life and health-related characteristics of immigrant women in the long term after immigration to Korea.

The purpose of this study were (1) to thumbnail sketch of present general condition of foreigners and international marriage in Korea, (2) to study special trend of international marriage in rural Korea, particularly immigration connected with poverty, and (3) to focus on prospect of the problem of mixed-bloods, especially half blood children in rural Korea. Many of foreigners were treated discriminatingly, for example racial discrimination and wage discrimination. And discrimination to mixed-blood children will be happen in future. They are in a disadvantageous position because of economic status and appearances. Half blood children have korean nationality because one of his parent is korean. When they grow up and reach their the age of puberty and the age of working, they will resist to discrimination in working and marriage. I had examined precedent studies, and class theory in general, and to suggest it is time to looking for way of reduce social cost and way of coexistence.

The objectives of this study were to study multicultural society of rural areas in Korea. USA immigration law permits permanent settlement but Korea immigration law prohibits permanent settlement. USA adopted the territorial principle but Korea adopted the personal(nationality) principle. So a large number of people immigrated and settled in USA and mass(collective) immigrants is usual in USA. But foreign workers(temporary immigration) and international marriage women(individual immigrants) is usual in Korea. According to the positive law, foreign workers cannot settle down in Korea. So international marriage women immigrants are main cause of multicultural society in rural areas in Korea. This is the particularity of multicultural society in rural areas in Korea. So it is necessary to differentiate multicultural society policy according to areas and residents. Many peoples see multicultural society from a point of view of human rights and welfare. But it is also necessary to see multicultural society from a point of view of economic and policy.

Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate Chinese female marriage immigrants' dietary life after immigration to Korea, focusing on comparison between Han-Chinese (traditional Chinese) and Korean-Chinese (Chinese of Korean descent). Methods: An in-person survey was conducted with women married to Korean men, having one child or more aged 1-6 years old, and having resided in Korea for at least one year before the survey. The data were collected from the 309 respondents comprising 151 Han-Chinese and 158 Korean-Chinese in the summer of 2013. Results: Overall, there was no significant difference in dietary practice, dietary acculturation, dietary behavior, dietary habits, and food intake between the Han-Chinese and the Korean-Chinese respondents. Over 50% of the respondents ate Korean food every day. The overall level of dietary acculturation was about 3.5 out of 5 points. The average score of healthy dietary behavior was a little bit higher than 3 out of 5 points. Approximately 3/4 of the respondents showed increasing frequency of eating out. The respondents reporting increase food diversity were over 70%. Decreased frequency of skipping meal was about 60% of the respondents. Over 50% of the respondents showed increasing consumption of Kimchi, vegetables, fruit, and meat. Conclusions: Dietary life of Korean-Chinese female marriage immigrants was similar to that of Han-Chinese female marriage immigrants after immigration to Korea. The results from this study suggest that not only Han-Chinese but also Korean-Chinese should be targeted in various diet-related acculturation support programs as important multicultural populations in Korea.

이 연구의 목적은 결혼이주여성들의 새로운 직업인 통번역사의 창출 배경과 노동 경험을 분석하여, 통번역사 노동이 가진 에스닉 노동의 성격을 밝히는 것이다. 연구의 주요 결과인 통번역사의 에스닉화된 노동의 성격은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 결혼이주여성 통번역사의 창출 배경은 차별배제적 성별화된 한국 이주정책의 특성에서 찾을 수 있다. 외국인 노동자들에게는 정주가 부인되고 취업이 제한되는 반면, 결혼이주여성은 한국 가족에의 편입을 전제로 한 포섭과 지원의 대상이기 때문에 통번역사로 고용될 수 있는 것이다. 둘째, 통번역사라는 직업은 이주노동시장에서 비교적 좋은 일자리로 인식되지만, 실제 노동조건은 한국 노동시장 내에서 저임금과 불안정 고용을 특징으로 하는 에스닉 층화구조의 하층에 위치하고 있다. 셋째, 결혼이주여성 통번역사들은 이주노동자와 결혼이민자들에게 자신의 이주 경험과 언어 자원을 서비스로 제공하는 중립적 통역자이기도 하지만, 실제 노동과정에서 선주민의 차별과 불신을 경험하면서 그들의 대변인으로서의 역할과 자신 또한 이주여성이라는 정체성 사이에서 갈등을 겪는다. 결론에서는 직업으로서의 결혼이주여성 통번역사의 지속 가능성을 결혼이주여성의 임파워먼트와 노동시장 전망에 대한 쟁점을 중심으로 논의한다.

본 연구는 결혼이민자 가족의 국내취업활동을 허용하는 방안을 마련하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 연구방법으로는 문헌고찰과 현장조사를 중심으로 결혼이민자를 둘러싼 사회 경제적 실태를 조사 분석하여 관련법 개정방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결론은 다음과 같다. 즉, 결혼이민자가 한국인과 결혼한 가장 큰 이유는 경제적 이유지만 대부분의 결혼이민자 가정이 경제적으로 여유가 없어 취업문제, 송금문제 등으로 다문화가정이 정착되지 못하고 불안정한 상태에 놓여 있다. 현행 고용허가제는 연고가 없는 외국인근로자(E-9)를 국내 근로자로 활용하고 있으나 연고가 있는 결혼이민자 가족에게 국내취업활동을 허용한다면 불안정한 다문화가정이 경제적으로 안정되고 결혼이민자들을 균형적이고 호혜적인 사회적 관계로 형성시키는데 도움이 될 수 있다. 이를 제도화하기 위해 "외국인 근로자고용등에 관한 법률"로 결혼이민자의 친정가족의 고용을 허가하는 방안과 "출입국관리법령" 상에 별도의 체류자격(가칭 H-3)을 부여하는 방안이 있다. 도입에 따른 총괄조정은 국무총리실에서, 관장은 고용노동부 혹은 여성가족부가 상호간에 기능적으로 분담토록 하는 것이 바람직하다.

이 논문에서는 세계화를 통하여 한국에서 급속하게 증가하는 여성결혼이민에 따른 다문화가족이 직면하고 있는 위장.계약결혼, 그리고 잦은 이혼, 특히 농촌 여성결혼이민자들이 겪고 있는 문화차이에 따른 부부갈등, 부부간의 폭력과 학대 등 인종, 계층, 지역을 떠나 인류의 보편적 가치에 반하는 현실적인 인권문제를 어떻게 효과적으로 보장하고, 그들이 우리사회의 일원으로 쉽게 적응할 수 있도록 법제도적인 관점에서 살펴보았다. 이 논문은 결혼이민자의 가정을 위기의 상태로 계속 방치할 경우 막대한 사회적 비용과 함께 향후 사회통합에 심각한 장애로 대두될 것임은 명확 관화한 일이기에, 다문화사회라고 하는 현실에 대처하는 각국의 입법례에 관하여 연구 검토하고, 민주 인권 평화의 도시를 표방하면서 유엔인권도시를 역점사업으로 추진하고 있는 광주광역시에서의 결혼이주여성 실태조사를 통해 기존의 통계자료와 비교해 보면서 한국의 <다문화가족지원법>의 문제점과 <결혼 중개업의 관리에 관한 법률> 및 <국적법>에 대한 개선방안을 제시하고 있다.

Purpose: To provide an in-depth analysis of the physical changes in and marital experiences of immigrant women in Korea, considering the differences in their cultural backgrounds. Methods: A qualitative research methodology with a phenomenology perspective was used. Data were collected through interviews from four focus groups and through in-depth interviews from five individuals. Data analysis was carried out using Colaizzi's phenomenological analysis method. Results: Twenty-four participants from nine different nations were interviewed. Three phenomenological theme clusters were identified and six sub-themes were derived. These comprise: "emergence of physical changes", "experienced symptom with negative result", and "coping with my body". The derived themes comprise: "struggling for my body to survive", "changed body after pregnancy and delivery", "diagnosed as normal but", "neglected my health", "using familiar care", and "unfamiliar health service system". Conclusion: Immigrant women by marriage in Korea are new subjects of nursing care. Their physical changes and experiences in coping with marriage at an early stage of immigration as described by themselves provide valuable information for nursing professionals. Cultural differences, problems specific to women, and our social conditions regarding minorities and our patriarchal tradition that discriminates against women affect their health problems. We strongly recommend that nurses should actively determine and engage in the health problems of immigrant women.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe levels of multiple stress factors and depression, and to examine the effects of the stress factors on depression among female marriage immigrants in Korea. Methods: Participants were 322 female marriage immigrants currently residing in Korea, who migrated from China, Vietnam, the Philippines, and other Asian countries. Stress of female marriage immigrants was measured on the SMFMI (Stress Measure of Female Marriage Immigrants in Korea), consisting of 21 items in four factors (cultural, household economic, emotional, and parenting and discrimination stress). CES-D was used to assess depression among marriage immigrants. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA with Scheffe's post hoc tests, and multiple regressions were performed for data analyses. Results: The average score for stress was 1.34 (SD=.98, theoretical range: 0-4) and the average score for depression was 17.07 (SD=10.09) in these female marriage immigrants. Adjusting for household income, employment status, duration since immigration, and Korean language proficiency, household economic stress (p<.001) was identified as the strongest predictor in explaining depression of female marriage immigrants (Adjusted $R^2=.331$). Conclusion: Health care professionals should prioritize intervention strategies to alleviate household economic stress for mental health promotion in female marriage immigrants in Korea.
