일본의 다문화공생정책과 한국 지방자치단체의 다문화정책 개선방안 연구 －영등포구를 중심으로－

Abstract

With increasing married immigrant women and migrant workers, Korean society is rapidly moving towards becoming a multicultural society these days. Multicultural support policies of local governments is run directly the policy of the central government in the field, and suit this policy to the circumstances and conditions. This study was carried out over the comparison of the case through the multi- cultural policy of Seoul Yeongdeungpo-ku, a multi-cultural policy of the Korean local government, and Multicultural policy of Japanese local governments. As a result, Yeongdeungpo-ku has revealed that it has been supported for the married migrant women in priority on the basis of the policy of multi-cultural policy of the central government. Japan's local governments, unlike South Korea play a leading role in foreign policy. Multicultural support policy can be made more effective to determine and enforce when done with the cooperation of local governments and voluntary organizations and civic groups in local areas rather than when be directed by the central government. It should be noted that both accept the immigrants as a constant residents, activate of civil society organizations across the network. On the other hand, accept comments and suggestions about the multi-cultural measures and a novel idea aggressively from local government. Also, I think it is necessary to perform different support depending multicultural status of each municipality.
