저출산·고령화 대응방안으로서 이민정책과 이민자지원정책에 대한 일반인의 태도 = Public Attitudes toward Immigration and Social Integration Policies Responding to Low Fertility in Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The total fertility rate(TFR) in Korea has been below the replacement level. Concerns have been expressed about many issues including rapid ageing of the population and shrinking of the labor force. The Korean government has recently prepared the comprehensive five-year basic plan(2006-2010) to deal with low fertility and population ageing, and immigration was considered as a way of preventing the country's population decline.
The purpose of this study was to examine people's attitudes toward low fertility, immigration and social integration policies responding to low fertility in Korea. The survey data were collected from 506 people in their 10's to 40's with a self-administered survey.
The major findings of this study are as follows:
Most of respondents expressed concerns about the long term consequences of low fertility and population ageing, while showing a little negative attitude toward immigration as a way of preventing population decline and ageing. Most of respondents perceived low levels of threats from immigrants, but was most pronounced among teenagers. People, especially those in their 20's and having foreign relatives, reported high levels of multicultural ideology. Respondents also showed positive attitudes toward social integration policies for immigrants, particularly females and those in their 30's.
Finally, the hierarchical regression analyses revealed that people's higher levels of concerns about the consequences of low fertility predicted more positive attitudes toward immigration. Also respondents' perceptions of lower levels of threats and more positive attitudes toward multicultural ideology predicted more positive attitudes toward social integration policies for immigrants.
