AB - Korea’s rapid transformation into a multiethnic, multicultural society has been due to sharp increases in international marriages and an increasing influx of immigrant workers. However, Korea’s social welfare system, which has been designed and implemented mainly for Koreans, is ill-equipped to address such racial, cultural, and social phenomena. In this regard, one of the most important themes in social work should be “cultural competence.” Cultural competence has been discussed since the late 1980s in the West, but it is a relatively recent concept in Korean society. Thus, few studies have examined this topic in the Korean context.
In this regard, this study introduces the notion of cultural competence, discusses the historical development of cultural competence, and provides a brief review of cultural competence research in Korea to determine the key components of cultural competence. In addition, the study introduces some methods for analyzing cultural competence that are expected to be useful for determining various socio-demographic, cultural, and economic changes in Korea as the country continues to undergo its dramatic transformation.
