AB - This study examines how Korean multicultural family support policy has changed across the first through fourth Basic Plans (2010-2027). The policy-task sections of the four plans were compiled into a corpus, and keyword frequency, co-occurrence, and language network analyses were conducted using a concept-based keyword dictionary. Five terms—marriage immigrants, children, adolescents, family centers, and domestic violence—appeared consistently across all four plans, but their relative weight and relational structure shifted over time. The first plan centered on settlement and adaptation support for marriage immigrants. The second plan expanded toward family-level support, counseling, and responses to violence. The third plan added social integration, rights, and community relations. In the fourth plan, family centers and counseling emerged as major network hubs, while children and adolescents were linked to developmental-stage support, learning, care, and community resources. These results indicate that policy emphasis has moved from initial settlement to developmental-stage support and community-based linkage, increasingly connecting family support with multicultural education.
