Purpose: In Korea, the number of migrant workers is increasing. However, migrant workers have low job satisfaction due to poor working environment, and insufficient social support. This study aimed to investigate the role of social support for job satisfaction of migrant workers. Method: We have analyzed the survey data of 397 migrant workers collected from free clinic for migrant workers located in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheong-do. Result: When the migrant workers received monetary and emotional supports from supervisors and colleagues, their job satisfaction turned out to be significantly high. The factors that influence job satisfaction of migrant workers are as follows: involvement in manufacturing industry, over 9 hours of daily sleep, monetary and emotional support from supervisors. Their job satisfaction strongly influenced by these factors. Conclusion: Social support will increase job satisfaction of migrant workers and it will subsequently decrease job turnover rate and increase productivity as well as quality of life.

Objective : The objective of this study was to examine the mental health status and its correlates of the marriage-migrant women in Seoul, Korea. Methods : One hundred and seventy marriage-migrant women and one hundred and sixteen married Korean women were recruited from community to complete Symptom Check List-90-Revision (SCL-90-R). Marriage-migrant women were also asked for their socio-demographic factors, acculturative stress, family-relationship stress, and social support. The scores on the SCL-90-R were compared between marriage-migrant women and married Korean women, and the correlates of marriage-migrant women's mental health were investigated. Results : Compared to married Korean women, marriage-migrant women showed lower levels of mental health problems including somatization, obsession-compulsion, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, paranoid ideation, and psychoticism. Longer length of residence in Korea, lower family income, social support, higher acculturation stress, and family relationship stress were all associated with mental health problems of marriage-migrant women Results : Our results suggest that mental health of marriage-migrant women is not necessarily bad, and several factors may affect their mental health. However, further studies are required in a larger representative sample to confirm the study findings.

With the restriction of foreigners' entry into Korea due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the fishery industry faced significant challenges in supplying migrant workers. In response to this, there is growing interest in methods that could facilitate the stable employment of migrant workers. This paper investigates whether the current system used for the employment of migrant workers in the fishery industry, which is highly dependent on them, adequately performs its function of providing a stable and skilled workforce amid the intensified labor shortage resulting from decreasing numbers of households with employment in the fishery and the aging Korean fishermen. To this end, past studies and government documents pertaining to the current system were analyzed, and a survey targeting the owners of offshore fishing boats that employ migrant workers was conducted. A total of 147 owners of fishing boats responded to the survey, and the data of 499 migrant workers employed by them were used for the analysis. The analysis indicated that the migrant fishermen had difficulty in acquiring minimum scores for the change of visa status according to the criteria for the Skilled Worker Points System. Furthermore, distinct differences were found between the characteristics and working conditions of migrant workers employed through the Employment Permit System (EPS) and the Foreign Seamen System. Based on this result, this paper suggests the reorganization of the skilled migrant worker system in the fishery industry and the expansion of the regional specialized visa pilot project.

Purpose: The purposes of the study were to identify level of health literacy and factors influencing health literacy of migrant workers. Methods: Data were collected using a cross sectional correlational design. Participants were 128 migrant workers in Korea. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ANOVA, Scheff$\acute{e}$ test, and hierarchical multiple regression with the SPSS 18.0 program. Results: The health literacy level of migrant worker was low and they had difficulty in understanding patient education materials and medical forms. Factors influencing health literacy were residential areas (city or rural), education level, length of stay in Korea, and ability to understand spoken Korean. Regression model accounted for 14.2% of the variance in health literacy. Conclusion: Lower levels of health literacy make it difficult for migrant works to visit medical facilities and perform health behaviors appropriately. Therefore, diverse strategies should be developed by nurses to enhance the health literacy level of migrant workers.

Analysing companion species from unrelated taxa concentrated so far mainly on identifying biosurrogacy in terms of conservation biology. No study has investigated companion bird and plant species to predict breeding and migrant habitats of a bird genus. In this study we recorded and analysed companion bird and plant species of the breeding bird Cyprus Wheatear Oenanthe cypriaca and four migranting Oenanthe species on Cyprus. We found characteristic companion species in Cyprus Wheatear's, Wheatear migrant's and in control habitats where no Wheatears were present. We show that plant and bird companion species can be used as discriminating factors to predict breeding and migrant habitats of the genus Oenanthe on Cyprus. Furthermore, habitat preferences of Cyprus Wheatear's companion species indicate bushy and vegetation rich habitats avoiding woodland on the one hand and managed farmland on the other hand. In comparison, migrant Wheatear and control habitats were characterised by companion species pointing to a high openness. These results support former habitat descriptions of Cyprus Wheatear and migrant Wheatears. In more general, this study shows that companion species from unrelated taxa can be used to predict breeding and migrant habitats of a bird genus.

This study aims to examine the educational needs of migrant farm workers and farmers in Korea. For developing survey instruments, content analysis of migrant workers & employer training programs, in-depth interviews with farmers and expert reviews had been conducted. Therefore, eight parts and twenty nine educational contents for migrant workers, five parts and twenty educational contents for farmers have been constructed. For data analysis, Borich analysis and The Locus for Focus Model were hired to analyze the educational needs assessment. Results showed that migrant workers' educational priorities were 'basic korean for farming, working attitude in farming, safety guidelines and first aid skills for rural life, safe use of pesticides and protective equipment, driving skills, safe use of agricultural machinery, operation & maintenance of agricultural machinery, pest control by crop', and for the farmers' were 'communication with migrant workers, trouble controls with employment, farming guidance, industrial accident cases and countermeasures, preventing disease and promoting mental health of migrant workers'.

본 연구는 서구의 이주자 정책의 변화를 동화주의, 다문화주의, 사회통합 정책을 중심으로 살펴보면서, 정책 변화에 내재한 주류사회의 인식과 담론을 비판적으로 접근하고자 하며, 이를 토대로 우리나라 이주자 정책에 대한 시사점을 도출하고자 한다. 1970년대에 접어들면서 동화주의 정책은 문화적 다양성을 간과한다는 점에서 비판을 받게 되었고, 다문화주의 정책이 도입되면서 이주자의 권리와 문화적 차이가 강조되었다. 그러나, 다문화주의 정책은 이주자-주류사회 간 사회적 고립과 분리를 야기한다는 주장이 제기되었다. 이러한 문제에 직면하여 2000년대에 접어들어 사회통합 정책이 대두되었고, 사회통합 정책은 이주자로 하여금 주류사회의 가치와 문화 수용, 사회경제적 활동의 참여를 강조한다. 하지만, 사회통합 정책은 이주자를 통제의 대상으로 인식함과 동시에, 차별의 대상으로 인식하는 문제점을 드러내고 있다. 서구의 이주자 정책에서의 경험은 향후 우리나라의 이주자 정책에서 이주자의 사회적 포함, 다문화주의와 사회통합의 문제점 분석, 주류사회의 문화변용의 필요성에 대한 시사점을 제공할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 대학생들을 중심으로 다문화 TV 프로그램인 '러브인 아시아'에 나타난 결혼이주여성의 직업적 전문성에 따라 결혼이주여성에 대한 수용자의 인식이 어떠한 차이를 보이는지 조사하고자 하였다. 통제집단사후설계 방식을 이용하여 분석한 결과 '이주여성이 전문기술을 갖고 있다', '이주여성은 의사소통 능력이 뛰어나다', '이주여성은 독립심이 강하다'는 항목들에 대해 전문직 이주여성 TV프로그램을 시청한 응답자와 비전문직 이주여성 TV프로그램을 시청한 응답자 간에 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. TV프로그램에서 드러난 직업적 전문성 유무가 결혼이주여성에 대한 수용자의 인식에 영향을 줄 수 있으므로 전문가그룹의 자문시스템 구축 및 결혼이주여성의 다양성 보장과 같은 제도 마련이 필요하다.

한국 사회의 다문화, 다인종 사회로의 이행 과정에서 중요한 사회 변동의 축으로 자리잡은 여성결혼이민자들에 대한 지역사회 수용성의 제 단면을 질적 연구를 통해 알아보았다. 여성결혼이민자들이 거주하고 있는 도시(안산)와 농촌(영암) 지역의 내국인 주민 23명을 대상으로 심층면접을 실시하여, 여성결혼이민자에 대한 인식과 접촉 경험, 그리고 여성결혼이민자에 대한 개방성 및 다문화 사회로의 변화에 관한 인식을 조명하였다. 심층면접 결과, 조사된 지역주민들은 여성결혼이민자에 대해서 전반적으로 긍정적 인식과 개방적 태도를 지니고 있지만 이러한 긍정적 인식의 실체는 한국사회에 깊게 뿌리박힌 가부장제와 성역할 고정관념에 기반하고 있음을 시사하는 결과를 얻었다. 또한 여성결혼이민자들의 한국 문화 적응에 대한 지역주민들의 인식 역시 한국문화에 대한 일방적 동화를 전제로 공생관계를 인정하는 수준에 머물러 있는 것으로 나타났다. 전반적으로 본 연구의 결과는 현 단계로서는 여성결혼이민자들의 유입 및 그들과의 상호작용 경험이 문화적 다양성을 인정하고 양방향의 문화통합을 추구하는 형태의 문화적 다원화 과정으로 연결되지 못하고 있음을 시사한다. 본 연구 결과의 시사점 및 의의, 그리고 장래연구의 방향을 논의하였다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of marital conflict, parenting stress on married migrant women's parenting attitudes. Participants in this study were 109 married migrant moms of young children. The major results of this study were as follows: First, married migrant women's parenting stress and marital conflicts negatively related to warmth-encouragement, limit setting, but were positively related to rejection-noninteraction in parenting behavior. Second, married migrant women's warmth-encouragement in parenting behavior was affected by personal conflicts and couple relationship conflicts. Third, competence stress, attachment stress, spouse stress, isolation stress, and health stress also affected warmth-encourage parenting behavior. On the other hand, attachment stress, spouse stress and isolation stress had significant effects on limit setting in parenting behaviors. For rejection-noninteraction in parenting behaviors, depression and spouse stress affected significantly.
