This study delves into the evolution of multiculturalism in the United Kingdom, focusing on the development of policies and public sentiments shaped by historical and socio-political factors. By analyzing government reports, official statements, and public discourse, the study examines the UK’s multicultural policies across key periods: post-war labor migration in the 1940s1960s, assimilationist approaches of the 1980s, the recognition of religious diversity in the 1990s, and the shift toward integrationist models in the 2000s. Despite proactive efforts to promote social cohesion and address discrimination, persistent challenges—such as rising anti-immigration sentiments and recurring social tensions—underscore the complexities of multicultural governance. Reflecting on the UK’s experience, this study offers valuable perspectives for South Korea, which is experiencing significant demographic shifts due to foreign labor migration and increasing multicultural population. The study advocates for a transformative, justice-oriented multicultural framework that fosters systemic inclusivity and empowers diverse cultural identities to achieve sustainable social integration in the Korean context.
