ABSTRACT

The Republic of Korea is to be multi-cultural nation as registration population was up to 2% in 2010. Immigrants who are economic and social minorities in almost country have different identities from each other. Therefore, it is necessary to study immigrant policy systematically with respect to social integration and immigration settlement. Firstly, I analyzed authority, projects, and budget by the laws on the immigrants and multi-cultural families. In addition, ordinances based on the laws were also viewed as overlapping and contradictory . There were many similarities between two fundamental laws. Although the charged ministry was changed, fiscal change among the related ministries was tardy. Wide variance of local budget each year limited policy autonomy. There was no difference among the related ordinances, but there were a few contradictions between the laws and the ordinances. Secondly, while the immigrant policies has been formed by central governments and the operation of this policy has been implemented by multiple agencies of central governments, agencies of central governments should be integrated then decentralized to local governments to prevent repetitious work done by different departments and enhance organization efficiency. When the agency will be integrated and decentralized in the earliest time possible, organization conflict and wasting budget can be reduced. To prepare for the decentralization, it is suggested that local governments reengineer appropriate departments as a governance structure and assign metropolitan council and local governments separate tasks.
