외국인 고용의 현황과 쟁점 = The present situation and issues in employment of migrant workers

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Korea has become the country which is receiving officially foreign manpower by the enactment of Employment Permit System Act. In 2008, 132,000 migrant workers will be introduced to Korea. Most of them are low- and unskilled workers. As discussed above, the business type and enterprise type of introduction have been relieved gradually. Migrant workers were used not only in small manufacturing business but also in construction, service, agriculture & livestock farming, offshore & coastal Fishing business.
The employment contract period cannot exceed 1 year. However, the migrant worker can renew the contract within the limit of 3 years from the entry date to Korea. An employer who has signed a labor contract with a migrant worker must apply for the certificate for confirmation of visa issuance at the District Immigration Office. After a migrant worker made a labor contract and got E-9 visa, he could come to Korea. This is the case in General EPS(Employment Permit System). In case of ethnic Korean, they could come to this country without making a labor contract. EPS was introduced by the enactment of Employment Permit System Act, and ITS(Industrial Trainee System) ended with it.
The Employment Permit System permits employers who have failed to hire native workers, to legally employ certain number of migrant workers. But owing to revision of the law, it is so easy to employ migrant workers. After 4 years of execution, EPS was settled to Korean society soundly. But there are not a few issues in Employment Permit System. For example, policy-making system, short job-seeking period, few seeking opportunities, etc.
