This study focuses on undocumented migrant children in South Korea. The Korean migration policies are centered on marriage migrants and their children until recently, while the issue of undocumented migrant children of migrant workers has long been overlooked. Undocumented migrant children are placed in an extremely unstable situation both legally and practically. This study shows why their basic rights should be protected from the perspective of constitutional and international law. It examines the comprehensive legal and policy frameworks of migration and the newly introduced measures to protect these children in Korea. It concludes with a discussion of the shortcomings of the current system and recommendations for improvement.
本研究的重点是韩国的无证移民儿童。直到最近,韩国的移民政策一直以婚姻移民和子女为中心,而非法移民的子女问题一直被忽视。无证移民儿童在法律上和实际上都处于极不稳定的境地。本研究从宪法和国际法的角度说明了为什么他们的基本权利应该得到保护。报告审查了有关移民的全面法律和政策框架,以及新近采取的保护韩国境内这些儿童的措施。报告最后讨论了现行制度的缺点和改进建议。

Emerging port infrastructure and advocacy networks for migrant fishers in Taiwan 台湾新兴的港口基础设施与移民渔民维权网络

As the nation with the most significant number of foreign fishers employed in its domestic and distant water fishing industries, Taiwan often comes under scrutiny due to numerous reports of poor working conditions, maltreatment and human rights abuses onboard fishing vessels. During employment, migrant fishers face the constant threat of food shortages on the high seas, lack of drinking water, unpaid salaries, long working hours and other human and labor rights abuses. The fishers’ journey often ends with unilateral contract termination and forced deportation. This paper argues that the opportunity for the migrant fishers to improve their working conditions depends on the social networks and connection to people or non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that could offer know-how and resources to advocate for their rights. Focusing on the networking between Stella Maris International Seafarers’ Center in Kaohsiung (also known as Stella Maris Kaohsiung or SMK) and migrant-led organizations in Taiwan, this research note proposes the notion of “port infrastructure” to refer to networked support organization, promotes the rights of fishers, and the improvement of their living and working conditions.
台湾是国内和远洋渔业雇佣外国渔民最多的国家,由于有大量关于渔船工作条件恶劣、虐待和侵犯人权的报道,台湾经常受到密切关注。在就业期间,移徙渔民面临着公海粮食短缺、缺乏饮用水、拖欠工资、工作时间过长以及其他侵犯人权和劳工权利的威胁。渔民的旅程往往以单方面终止合同和被迫驱逐而告终。本文认为,流动渔民改善其工作条件的机会取决于社会网络和与人们或非政府组织(ngo)的联系,这些组织可以提供专门知识和资源来倡导他们的权利。本研究报告以高雄史黛拉·玛瑞斯国际海员中心(亦称史黛拉·玛瑞斯高雄或SMK)与台湾移民组织之间的网络为中心,提出“港口基础设施”的概念,指的是网络支持组织,促进渔民的权利,改善他们的生活和工作条件。

Young North Korean defectors’ new media practices in response to stereotypes by South Korean society 年轻的脱北者对韩国社会刻板印象的新媒体实践

This study analyzed the new media practices of young North Korean defectors (YNKDs) who are portrayed in traditional media as the subject of South Korean stereotypes. Popular content on YouTube channels was examined to determine South Koreans’ perceptions of North Korea and North Korean defectors. We also interviewed YNKD YouTubers and classified the types of practices in response to such perceptions. The results indicated that South Korean subscribers prefer content highlighting South Korea’s superiority over North Korea. In response, YNKD YouTubers have produced content that may be characterized as “cultural assimilation,” “conflict and compromise” and “seeking alternatives.” This study found that the decisive factor that distinguishes these three response types is the pursuit of public interest, i.e., aiming to change South Koreans’ perception of North Korean defectors. Inner conflicts over financial benefits limit YNKDs’ practice and impede their move towards solidarity-based collective action. The findings suggest that YNKD YouTubers who want to change mainstream society’s perceptions can contribute to unification by producing authentic and creative content about North Korea.
本研究分析了年轻的脱北者(YNKDs)的新媒体实践,他们在传统媒体中被描绘成韩国刻板印象的主体。调查了YouTube频道上的热门内容,以确定韩国人对朝鲜和脱北者的看法。我们还采访了YNKD youtube用户,并根据这些看法对这些做法进行了分类。结果显示,韩国用户更喜欢突出韩国比朝鲜优越的内容。作为回应,YNKD的youtube用户制作了可能被描述为“文化同化”、“冲突与妥协”和“寻求替代方案”的内容。本研究发现,区分这三种回应类型的决定性因素是对公共利益的追求,即旨在改变韩国人对脱北者的看法。经济利益的内部冲突限制了YNKDs的实践,阻碍了他们走向基于团结的集体行动。研究结果表明,想要改变主流社会观念的YNKD youtube用户可以通过制作真实而有创意的朝鲜内容,为统一做出贡献。

Criminality, chaos and corruption: Analyzing the narratives of labor migration dynamics in Malaysia. 犯罪、混乱和腐败:分析马来西亚劳动力移民动态的叙事。
IF 0.9 4区 社会学 Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Epub Date: 2023-07-21 DOI: 10.1177/01171968231189139

This paper analyzes how policy-relevant actors understand the causes and effects of labor immigration to Malaysia, the country that receives the highest number of migrant workers in Southeast Asia. Whereas most research on international migration governance has focused on governance system outputs, this paper adopts an actor-centered perspective to investigate how actors narratively construct labor migration dynamics in Malaysia and how they conceptualize the drivers and impacts of labor migration policies and practices. The empirical material comes from 41 in-depth interviews with government officials, policymakers, international and regional organizations, nongovernmental organizations, employers' organizations, trade unions, and embassy representatives. The study found that Malaysia's migration governance system was perceived as "chaotic" due to the seemingly inconsistent, unclear "ad hoc" policy measures implemented, and that the governance system is perceived as "corrupt." Economic incentives were also seen as the primary driver of labor immigration, yet the main impact on Malaysian society was perceived as the spread of criminality, violence and disease, a narrative centered on migrant men. This paper argues that this discourse is problematic as it may drive types of policy measures that target migrant men.

本文分析了政策相关行为者如何理解劳动力移民到马来西亚的原因和影响,马来西亚是东南亚接收移民工人最多的国家。尽管大多数关于国际移民治理的研究都集中在治理系统的产出上,但本文采用了以行动者为中心的视角来研究行动者如何叙事性地构建马来西亚的劳动力移民动态,以及他们如何概念化劳动力移民政策和实践的驱动因素和影响。实证材料来自对政府官员、政策制定者、国际和地区组织、非政府组织、雇主组织、工会和大使馆代表的41次深入采访。研究发现,由于实施了看似不一致、不明确的“临时”政策措施,马来西亚的移民治理体系被认为是“混乱的”,治理体系被视为“腐败的”。经济激励也被视为劳动力移民的主要驱动力,但对马来西亚社会的主要影响被视为犯罪的蔓延,暴力与疾病,一个以移民男性为中心的叙事。本文认为,这种话语是有问题的,因为它可能会推动针对移民男性的政策措施。

Considering the increasing numbers of migrant workers in the Republic of Korea and the challenges faced by migrant workers in adapting to their new environment, this study investigates how religious coping mediates acculturative stress and life satisfaction. Based on data collected from 106 Sri Lankan migrant workers, the study found that both internal and external religious coping styles significantly mediated acculturative stress and life satisfaction, with the external style affecting life satisfaction more significantly than the internal one. Religious coping styles were significantly and positively correlated with life satisfaction, which could help reduce acculturative stress. Factors, including age, gender, marital status, religious visits and working hours contribute to understanding the role that religious coping mechanisms play in the lives of migrant workers. Accordingly, the study suggests supporting religious communities and activities of migrants, and upgrading the social, cultural and educational services they receive, as well as the policies of the Korean government directed toward them.
考虑到韩国外来务工人员数量的增加以及外来务工人员在适应新环境时所面临的挑战,本研究探讨了宗教应对如何调节异文化压力和生活满意度。基于106名斯里兰卡外来务工人员的数据,研究发现,内部和外部宗教应对方式对异文化压力和生活满意度都有显著的调节作用,其中外部宗教应对方式对生活满意度的影响大于内部宗教应对方式。宗教应对方式与生活满意度显著正相关,有助于减轻异文化压力。年龄、性别、婚姻状况、宗教访问和工作时间等因素有助于理解宗教应对机制在农民工生活中的作用。因此,该研究建议支持移民的宗教团体和活动,提高他们得到的社会、文化、教育服务,以及韩国政府针对他们的政策。

Informal employment and irregular migration status: A double whammy for migrant workers in Thailand 非正规就业与非正规移民状况:泰国外来务工人员的双重打击

While a thick strand of literature demonstrates informally employed workers and irregular migrants being generally worse off in the labor market, little has been done to examine and compare these two sources of disadvantages. Using regression analyses on a survey of migrant workers in Thailand from Cambodia, Myanmar and Lao People’s Democratic Republic, the paper measures the prevalence of informal employment and estimates the differential contributions of irregular migration status and informal employment on various employment conditions. The paper finds that informality has a relatively stronger association with worse employment conditions, and systematic differences persist across sectors of employment and countries of origin. Initiatives to improve working conditions for irregular migrant workers should thus focus on both formalizing their employment status and expanding access to legal and safe migration, including social protection programs, in destination countries.
虽然大量文献表明,非正规就业工人和非正规移民在劳动力市场上的处境普遍更糟,但很少有人对这两种不利因素进行研究和比较。通过对来自柬埔寨、缅甸和老挝人民民主共和国的泰国移徙工人的调查进行回归分析,本文衡量了非正规就业的普遍程度,并估计了非正规移徙身份和非正规就业在各种就业条件下的差异贡献。本文发现,非正式性与较差的就业条件有相对较强的关联,并且在就业部门和原籍国之间存在系统性差异。因此,改善非正规移徙工人工作条件的举措应侧重于使他们的就业地位正规化,并扩大在目的地国获得合法和安全移徙的机会,包括社会保护计划。

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact people globally, refugees comprise a vulnerable population, particularly those living in densely populated areas. In Bangladesh, Cox’s Bazar is currently home to almost a million Rohingya refugees. Because of the lack of healthcare, sanitation and water, as well as overcrowding, refugees were at high risk of becoming ill during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Moreover, superstitions and lack of trust in the healthcare system threaten to put the community at further risk. To prevent tragic consequences, national and international attention and action are required to strengthen the health system for Rohingya refugees. The community will require surveillance and testing, infection prevention and control measures, adequate food supplies, and access to improved healthcare services. This paper calls for a multi-sectoral approach to developing an action plan and implementation strategy to minimize the impact of COVID-19 on this vulnerable population.
虽然2019冠状病毒病大流行继续影响全球人民,但难民是弱势群体,特别是生活在人口稠密地区的难民。在孟加拉国,考克斯巴扎尔目前是近100万罗兴亚难民的家园。由于缺乏医疗保健、卫生设施和水,以及过度拥挤,难民在2020年2019冠状病毒病大流行的早期阶段患病的风险很高。此外,迷信和对医疗系统缺乏信任可能会使社区面临进一步的风险。为防止悲剧性后果,需要国家和国际关注并采取行动,加强罗兴亚难民的卫生系统。社区将需要监测和检测、感染预防和控制措施、充足的粮食供应以及获得改善的医疗保健服务。本文呼吁采取多部门方法,制定行动计划和实施战略,尽量减少COVID-19对这一弱势群体的影响。

Transnational migration entails profound changes to gender subjectivities and family structures, social networks and urban landscapes, and lifestyles and aspirations. Pandemic-induced immobilities have led many to question the assumed links between migration and mobility, and heightened interest in mobility inequalities. This research note offers critical insights into the “immobility turn” scholarship and highlights the gaps in our understanding of immobilities as both a social phenomenon and a conceptual tool. By placing our analytical focus on migrant immobilities, this research note sheds light on important changes in the meanings and values associated with migration and (im)mobility across contexts.
跨国移徙给性别主体性和家庭结构、社会网络和城市景观以及生活方式和愿望带来深刻变化。大流行造成的不流动使许多人质疑移徙与流动之间假定的联系,并使人们更加关注流动不平等问题。这份研究报告提供了对“不动转向”学术研究的重要见解,并强调了我们对不动既是一种社会现象又是一种概念工具的理解上的差距。通过将我们的分析重点放在移民不流动上,本研究报告揭示了与移民和(非)跨背景流动相关的意义和价值观的重要变化。

Immigration and labor shortages: Learning from Japan and the United Kingdom 移民与劳动力短缺:以日本和英国为鉴

Industrialized countries have increasingly used skill-based selective migration policies to reduce labor and skill shortages. But are these policies effective? This paper uses Japan and the United Kingdom to illustrate how immigration policy and employment, training and labor practices influence labor and skill supply. Until recently, these two countries had different migration policies and labor practices. Yet data shows similar patterns of labor and skill shortage profiles in both countries. This paper draws on empirical research to argue that such outcomes suggest that immigration policies will not alleviate labor and skill shortages unless accompanied by the transformation of employment and training practices.
工业化国家越来越多地采用以技能为基础的选择性移徙政策,以减少劳动力和技能短缺。但这些政策有效吗?本文以日本和英国为例,说明移民政策和就业、培训和劳动实践如何影响劳动力和技能供应。直到最近,这两个国家都有不同的移民政策和劳工实践。然而,数据显示,两国的劳动力和技能短缺情况相似。本文通过实证研究认为,这些结果表明,除非伴随着就业和培训实践的转变,否则移民政策不会缓解劳动力和技能短缺。

In recent years, while scholarly work on new immigrant destinations (NIDs) within the United States and Europe has increased, little attention has been given the role and significance of the migration industry in promoting the emergence of NIDs. This is a particularly significant lacuna as some Asian nations are undergoing dramatic migration transition despite the lack of immigration regulatory infrastructure. In this context, focusing on the role of commercial intermediaries play in the formation of NIDs is an important perspective in understanding migration transition in Asia. Drawing on qualitative interviews with Filipino domestic workers and intermediaries, this paper analyzes how intermediaries promote Mainland China as a new destination for the Filipino domestic workers by creating a new promising market, border-crossing tactics, as well as managing migrant workers using training and control strategies at ground level.
近年来,虽然美国和欧洲国内关于新移民目的地(NIDs)的学术研究有所增加,但很少有人关注移民产业在促进新移民目的地出现中的作用和意义。这是一个特别重要的空白,因为一些亚洲国家尽管缺乏移民监管基础设施,但正在经历戏剧性的移民转型。在此背景下,关注商业中介机构在NIDs形成中的作用是理解亚洲移民转型的一个重要视角。通过对菲律宾家庭佣工和中介机构的定性访谈,本文分析了中介机构如何通过创造一个新的有前景的市场、跨境策略以及在基层使用培训和控制策略来管理农民工,从而将中国大陆作为菲律宾家庭佣工的新目的地。
