이 연구는 한국 유입 전 이주노동자들의 한국에 관한 정보인지도가 한국생활만족과 정보발신태도에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 문헌조사와 함께 부산 경남에 거주하고 있는 이주노동자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사 결과 한국에 관한 정보는 인력송출회사와 매체정보에 주로 의존하고 있었다. 유입전에 습득한 정보인지 중에서 '사회 경제정보인지' 요인이 높을수록 한국생활만족도는 높게 나타났으며, 한국생활만족에서는 '작업장환경만족' 요인이 높을수록 정보발신태도가 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 이주노동자들에게 필요한 양질의 정보제공과 정보경로의 다양화 등 정보정책 수립 방안을 제시하였다.

Southeast Asia accounts for nearly a tenth of total worldwide cross-border movements of migrant workers. Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, and Philippines make up the sending countries while Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand are the major destinations. Migrant worker movements are predominantly in production process and low- to medium-skilled sectors. It is not unusual for irregular or undocumented movements to take place. In not a few instances, migrants work under harsh and exploitative conditions. In recent years, however, ASEAN has taken steps to manage labor migration at the regional level. The paper argues that ASEAN has not managed these cross-border labor flows as well as it should particularly in terms of protecting and promoting the human rights of migrants. It will be difficult to establish the genuine building blocks for a regional human rights mechanism unless there is a diffusion of alternative universal norms and standards to what ASEAN already embodies. As long as states resist any attempt to weaken or question or deligitimize their capacity to determine who gets to enter, stay, and leave their jurisdictions, it will be difficult to establish an effective migrant rights framework for the region.

Background: Silicosis among workers who fabricate engineered stone products in micro or small-sized enterprises (MSEs) was reported from several countries. Workplace exposure data of these workers at high risk of exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) dust are limited. Methods: We surveyed workers performing cutting, shaping and polishing tasks at 6 engineered stone fabricating MSEs in Sydney, Australia prior to regulatory intervention. Personal exposure to airborne RCS dust in 34 workers was measured, work practices were observed using a checklist and worker demography recorded. Results: Personal respirable dust measurements showed exposures above the Australian workplace exposure standard (WES) of 0.1 mg/m³ TWA-8 hours for RCS in 85% of workers who performed dry tasks and amongst 71% using water-fed tools. Dust exposure controls were inadequate with ineffective ventilation and inappropriate respiratory protection. All 34 workers sampled were identified as overseas-born migrants, mostly from three linguistic groups. Conclusions: Workplace exposure data from this survey showed that workers in engineered stone fabricating MSEs were exposed to RCS dust levels which may be associated with a high risk of developing silicosis. The survey findings were useful to inform a comprehensive regulatory intervention program involving diverse hazard communication tools and enforcing improved exposure controls. We conclude that modest occupational hygiene surveys in MSEs, with attention to workers' demographic factors can influence the effectiveness of intervention programs. Occupational health practitioners should address these potential determinants of hazardous exposures in their workplace surveys to prevent illness such as silicosis in vulnerable workers.

Korean domestic workers are trend to avoid harmful and dangerous jobs calls 3D work due to the poor working conditions. Therefore, the incoming population of foreign workers is increasing to fulfill the required labor force. Mostly these foreign workers are placed in small and medium-size industries. As work that induces musculoskeletal disorders(WMSD) is equally exposed to domestic workers as well as foreign workers, this study attempted to investigate the work burdened by musculoskeletal disorders and derive improvement measures by understanding the actual conditions of the worksites of foreign workers. The result of this investigation defines that the possibility of developing musculoskeletal disorders is very high in the environment in which more than 40% of the respondents work with heavy objects and repetitive work of wrists and elbows. To prevent the symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders among foreign workers, three measures were proposed. To reduce the mandatory check-up period of WMSD under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, to revise the employment permit system, and to enhance the practical help of EPS education. Safety and health management of foreign workers is becoming an essential task not only for securing a workforce but also for the national image. Personal and economic losses at the national level should be minimized through policy support such as financial support for small and medium-sized businesses in Korea and supplementation of legal systems for the protection of foreign workers.

Objectives: A rapid increase in the population of migrant workers in Korea has brought new challenges regarding the possible effects of acculturation on health. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of acculturation- and work-related psychosocial factors on work-related musculoskeletal disorders among migrant female workers living in Korea. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used. A translated, structured questionnaire was administrated to 156 southeastern Asian female full-time workers living in Korea. Results: About 35% of the participants experienced some type(s) of work-related musculoskeletal disorder(s), which were more prevalent in Vietnamese women than in Thai and Filipino women. Women who preferred to maintain their own heritage and to reject the host country heritage were at risk for work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Conclusion: Acculturation strategy and nationality were found to be significant factors associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Health professionals need to accommodate acculturation contexts into risk assessment and intervention development for work-related musculoskeletal disorders separately for different nationalities.

외국인근로자의 임금을 둘러싸고 그동안 균등대우와 합리적 차별문제를 부분적으로 다루어져 왔다. 또한 외국인근로자라는 측면에서 생산성논의와 함께 합리적 차별의 문제가 논의되기는 하였으나 극히 제한적이었다. 외국인근로자에 대한 최저임금적용 제외를 계속하여 경영계로부터 주장이 되어 오고 있다. 내국인 근로자와 달리 외국인근로자는 고용허가를 받아 비교적 제한된 장소, 제한된 기간 동안 임금을 목적으로 근로를 제공하는 지위에 있다는 점에서 임금을 둘러싼 법과 현실과의 괴리되어 있는 점을 확인할 수 있다. 이것은 임금을 둘러싼 고용주와 근로자의 고충과 갈등으로 표출되어 나타나고 있다. 그동안 임금에 관한 균등대우 등에 부분적으로 연구는 있어왔지만 명확하게 논의가 정리되었다고 보기는 어렵다. 물론 이 연구에서도 이와 관련하여 연구의 한계성은 있을 수밖에 없을 것이다. 이 논문에서는 고용허가제 이후 임금을 둘러싼 실태와 고용주와 외국인근로자의 고충과 갈등요인을 살펴보고 임금관련 법제도적 개선방안을 제시하고자 하였다.

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.
