ABSTRACT

The Basic Plan for Multicultural Family Policy, which is established every five years in accordance with the "Multicultural Families Support Act," is currently the '4th Basic Plan for Multicultural Family Policy (2023–2027)' that is being implemented. The 4th Basic Plan, under the vision of 'A harmonious society growing together with multicultural families,' aims to ensure equal starting points for multicultural children and adolescents and to create a stable living environment for multicultural families. This is the result of reflecting the importance of multicultural children and adolescents in the 4th Basic Plan for Multicultural Family Policy, and it is likely focused on creating a foundation that allows them to grow as members of our society in the future. The number of multicultural marriages decreased during the COVID-19 period, but has been on the rise again since 2022. As of 2024, multicultural households number 439,304, accounting for 1.9% of the total 22,997,120 households. As of 2024, the status of children (minors) from multicultural families (foreign residents) is 315,398, accounting for 4.4%, of which multicultural students number 202,208 (4.0%). Among children from multicultural families, 1.9% have experienced school violence during their school life. In 2018, it accounted for 8.2%, and in 2021, 2.3%, but it is showing a gradually decreasing trend. Although the experience of school violence among children from multicultural families is gradually decreasing, it is still higher than the overall percentage of students who have experienced school violence, and the causes are a result of various factors acting together, such as language issues, differences in appearance, or having one parent who is an immigrant. As measures to prevent school violence among children from multicultural families, first, human rights education should be expanded, and second, institutional measures such as budgeting to activate small-scale community centers by region to protect students from multicultural families should be prepared. This study focuses on the policies of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, considering what effective measures can be taken to prevent school violence among children from multicultural families, and furthermore, aims to propose alternatives.
