다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Even Korea, which used to be roughly divided into a single culture, can no longer be 'free from multicultural challenges'. This is because the social diversity represented by foreign migration is increasing. Based on the present background, the purpose of this study is as follows: First, it examines whether the public is aware of the understanding of the multiculturalism of regular residents due to the influx of migrants. Second, the current study explores the discrimination perception of migrants by dividing it into the existence and severity of foreign migrants and discrimination against the region of origin. Third, this research investigates the impact of the influx of migrants in Korean society.
The results of this study are as follows: first of all, there was the highest positive (+) correlation between economic and social conflicts. Next, as a result of analyzing the difference in perception among groups on social impact, there was a significant difference in perception, and no significant difference in perception of economic conflict. In addition, in the difference in perception of the region of migrants, there was a difference in perception of married migrant women based on their final education and overseas travel experiences, and also a difference in perception of Asian workers according to their overseas residence experience and age, and there was a difference in perception of European workers according to gender and final education. Moreover, Asian workers were higher than married migrant women, North and South American workers, and European workers in the target of regular residents’ discriminative perception, and economic conflicts were higher than social conflicts in terms of social impact. Finally, there was no mediating effect in discrimination perception on the understanding of the influx of migrants which influenced our society.
This study suggests that Korean society should accurately recognize the current fundamental problems that are moving toward a multicultural country and multiracial society in relation to Korea's multicultural policy and come up with alternatives to respond to them.
