Multi-cultural Family in the country

Multi-cultural Family

In the past, Korea regardes as a single-race nation, but nowadays, many foreigners are coming to Korea for lots of reasons such as working, education and so on. The family that consists of one Korean and one foreigner parent is multi-cultural family. As the number international marriage is increasing since 1990's, the rate of multi-cultural family becames more and more larger as below graph.

 

 

 

Then, what is problem?

Lots of multi-cultural families in Korea consist of foreign female of Southeast Asia or china and Korean man who are living in country. In country, there are not many young women, so men are hard to marriage and finally, they buy their wife from Southeast Asia that the level of economy is low than Korea. Below table shows the ratio of international marriage men and women in Korea. You can easily find female is far larger than male.

 

 

 

Then from now on, I will focus problem of the multi-cultural family that is composed with international marriage of Korean country men and Southeast Asia or China women.

 

Family Violence

 

 

Some Korean men violent their foreigner women or their child because they mostly didnot marry with true love. 

 

Discrimination

Multi-cultural family can experience race discrimination because of their apperance.

Economic Problem

 



As you can see in this chart, most of multi-cultural family can not earn lots of money. The biggest part of their family income per month is 1 million ~2 million won. This is very low compared with others. Foreign women are hard to get a job because they cannot speak Korean well, so they easily suffer from economic problems.

Child Education

 Multi-cultural family child used to learn their language later than others because mother cannot use Korean well, so it affects to children's development of education level.
