다문화배경 청년의 대학진학 결정요인

Abstract

(Purpose) This study aims to examine the lives of young people from multi­cultural backgrounds who have been excluded from policies and outside of academic interest. In particular, it aims to analyze the determinants of young people from multi­cultural backgrounds going to college by paying attention to education in the inequality of multiple gaps such as education, employment, housing, and family formation facing young people from multi­cultural backgrounds. In addition, through the analysis results, policy implications for improving the college entrance rate of young people from multi­cultural backgrounds are presented. (Design/methodology/approach) In this study, data from the 10th year (2020 survey) of the multi­cultural youth panel were used for analysis. First, we also tried to understand the demographic and sociological characteristics of youth and families from multi­cultural backgrounds. Next, the inference statistics analysis analyzed the factors affecting the college entrance of youth from multi­cultural backgrounds through binomial logistic regression analysis. (Findings) As a result of the analysis, it was found that 717 (65.7%) of young people from multi­cultural backgrounds went to college and 374 (34.3%) of non-entrance. It was found that the gender of young people from multi­cultural backgrounds (OR=1.509, ρ<.01), residential area (OR=1.419, ρ<.05), and negative educational background (OR=.661, ρ<.01) had a significant effect on the college entrance of young people from multi­cultural backgrounds. It was found that the difference in the size of the region where young people from multi­cultural backgrounds reside, the number of household members, the income of household members, and the simulated educational background did not significantly affect the college entrance of young people from multi­cultural backgrounds. (Research implications or Originality) In order to improve the college entrance rate of young people from multi­cultural backgrounds, it is first necessary to strengthen career support programs that help young men from multi­cultural backgrounds go to college. Next, it is necessary to provide more information to young people from multi­cultural backgrounds living in the non-metropolitan area and help them make career decisions. Finally, it is necessary to expand opportunities for parental education programs to provide information on college entrance as well as to help them respond to their children's social and psychological difficulties.
