Abstract

    Between 2015 and 2017, 7.8% of all marriages in South Korea were international. In 2020, 4.2% of school-aged children were born in families composed of Korean men, immigrant women, and their children born between them. While the total number of students in South Korea was decreasing, the number of multicultural students was on the rise. Because of this background, the 4th Basic Agenda for Multicultural Family Policy (2023~2027) embodies goals for ensuring the well-being of multicultural family youth. More research is needed to inform policy about an optimal environment for bi-ethnic adolescents’ healthy development. This presentation showcases three studies and suggests key factors to consider when implementing programs to encourage the healthy development of the bi-ethnic youth of immigrant mothers in South Korea. Based on the study results, for promoting the healthy development of bi-ethnic youths of immigrant mothers in South Korea, the policy should 1. focus on bi-ethnic acceptance to improve bi-ethnic adolescents’ psychological well-being; 2. consider the need for parent education curriculum that includes familial ethnic socialization; and 3. help multicultural youth to foster bi-ethnic affirmation.

    Professor Grace is a professor in the Department of Human Ecology at Seoul National University in South Korea, specializing in Human Development and Family Studies.
