Expanding gap in capital, technology and labor following globalization is accelerating international labor migration.
This essay analyzes problems that foreign workers from Gyeongsan Industrial Complex encounter in everyday life in the perspective of social exclusion and seeks to find appropriate counteractive measures that could be taken by the provincial government.
Gyeongsan Inudstrial Complex was created during the 1990s when government implemented policies to introduce foreign workers. 98% of Gyeongsan is comprised of small medium-sized establishments with under 100 employees. Domestic workers evade employement due to relative poor working conditions and there has been a long dependence of business structure on foreign labor.
Systematic inquiry on fundamental issues about social exclusion on foreign workers did not take place at all. This research is well aware of such problems and seeks to examine the kind of social discrimination and prejudice against foreign workers in Gyeongsan Industrial Complex.
