ABSTRACT

The biggest change for Korea in the 21st Century has been the advent of multicultural society. There are over a million foreigners living in Korea. Multiculturalism now sounds familiar to Koreans. Thus, Korea is no longer an ethnically homogeneous nation but, rather, a multi-ethnic nation. This study focus on the Chinese brides of Koreans living in Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, and Incheon. The aim of this study is to survey the responsiveness of Korean government when they receive public services. It then determines the differences between groups and analyzes how it changes according to different independent variables. In this study, multicultural Korean government services for foreign brides of Koreans are divided into six parts, as education, culture, welfare and consultation, medicine, employment, and legal services. The theoretical research checked the theoretical background of public administration responsiveness, and draws conclusions and political implications from the analysis for the survey. The results show that the responsiveness of the Korean government is highest in education and culture. Chinese brides feel lower responsiveness the older they are. There is also a clear difference between Chinese and Chinese-Korean brides. The Korean government should provide a greater variety of programs and make a cooperative network for them in order to help them adapt to Korean society.
