박민지(Park, Min-Ji),이춘원(Lee, Choon-Won) 국민대학교 법학연구소 2019 법학논총 Vol.32 No.1

세계화로 인하여 국가 간의 이동이 자유로워짐에 따라 우리나라에 유입된 외국인도 2백만 명을 넘어서고 있다. 그 중에서는 대한민국 국적을 취득한 이주민도 있으며, 우리나라에서 근로를 제공하고 있는 외국인 근로자의 수도 증가하여 국내에 이주하여 장기체류하는 외국인도 증가하는 추세이다. 이에 따라 이들의 법적 지위도 중요한 이슈로 떠오르고 있다. 우리나라뿐만 아니라 해외도 이와 같은 이주민들이 늘어남에 따라 헌법, 출입국 관리법, 국적법 등 관련 법률로 이들의 법적 지위를 규정하고 있으며 특히 대표적인 이민국가인 캐나다의 경우 「다문화주의법」을 제정하여 국가의 이념 또한 다문화주의를 따르고 있다. 국내에는 이러한 이주민에 관련된 법률로써 「재한외국인처우기본법」을 대표적으로 꼽을 수 있다. 「재한외국인처우기본법」은 국내에 거주목적으로 체류하고 있는 외국인들의 처우에 대하여 규정하고 있는 법으로 다른 나라에는 존재하지 않는 데에 의의가 있겠으나, 규정이 많지 않고 미흡하여 재정비 방안이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 「재한외국인처우기본법」의 궁극적인 목적과 더불어 동법의 한계와 그 개선방안에 대해 고찰함으로써 향후 다문화 사회에서의 기본법의 역할을 「재한외국인처우기본법」이 할 수 있도록 방향을 제시하고자 한다. Due to globalization, the number of foreigners who have flown into Republic of Korea has exceeded 2 million as the freedom of movement between countries has become free. Among them, many immigrants have acquired Korean nationality, and the number of foreign workers who provide labor to Korea is increasing, and more foreigners are staying in Korea. As a result, their legal status is becoming an important issue. As the number of immigrants increases not only in Republic of Korea but also abroad, it regulates their legal status with related laws such as Constitution, Immigration Control Act, Nationality Act. Especially in Canada, which is a representative immigrant country, the law of multiculturalism which called “Multiculturalism Act” is enacted and the ideology of the nation is also following the multiculturalism. In Korea, the “Framework Act on the Treatment of Foreigners Residing in the Republic Korea” is one of the representative laws for immigrants. Although the “Framework Act on the Treatment of Foreigners Residing in the Republic of Korea” is a law stipulating the treatment of foreigners staying in Korea for the purpose of residence, There is a good meaning that it does not exist in other countries. but There are not many sections and it is insufficient and it is necessary to revise it. Therefore, in this study, we will examine the limit of “Framework Act on the Treatment of Foreigners Residing in the Republic of Korea”. and also will examine the ultimate goal of the Basic Law for the Treatment of Foreigners in Republic of Korea, and suggest the direction of the Basic Law of Treatment of Foreigners in the future do.

다문화 가족의 보호와 지원에 관한 법제 소고

이승우(Seung-woo, Lee) 한국가족법학회 2009 가족법연구 Vol.23 No.3

With the increasing cases of international marriages, Korea has currently suffered from many societal disorders For thousands of years, Koreans have been a group of people with a higher sense of ethnical simplicity, however, the strikingly increasing number of foreign females has undoubtedly threatened Korean's sense of simplicity Unlike other foreign laborers who return to their hometown after a certain period, those foreign females who marry Korean males are naturalized to be members and have permanent residence in Korea Hence, it can be perceived that several problems on female immigrants' rights have been revealed. Apparently, Korea has become a multicultural society gradually owing to the increasing number of ling-staying foreigners, including marital immigrants. This phenomenon also demonstrates that it is indispensable to carry out some policies to protect or support these foreigners in Korea On these grounds, Korean Parliament has enacted "Act on the Treatment of Foreigners in Korea", "Support for Multicultural Families Act". Furthermore, "Proposed Standard Ordinance to Support Resident Aliens" is also established. All of these regulations focus on protection and support for the marital immigrants. The author has discussed the positions of marital immigrants in Korea and its legal problems in previous essay generally In this paper, the author will chiefly discuss the importance of marital immigrants' positions and human rights, and meantime, examine the existing problems The following will focus on these regulations and their existing legal problems First of all, it is regulated that "Act on the Treatment of Foreigners in Korea" can only apply to legal-staying foreigners in Korea, not other illegal-staying foreigners in Korea But it is evident that all of the marital immigrants and their children, foreign laborers, long-staying foreigners, and refugees also need some supports or protection so that they can adapt themselves to Korean society without discrimination Hence, it may call it in question if all of the illegal-staying foreigners are excluded from this regulation, without considering each situation or type of the illegal-staying foreigners As the illegal-staying foreigners also need some supports or special protection, it is much better to provide them appropriate supports or protection in accordance with the situation of each case Secondly, it's better to set up an institution which deals only with the supports and protection for those long-staying foreigners, such as immigration institution If there is difficulty in setting up such an institution so immediately, then Ministry for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs could take charge of this affairs focusing on the supports and protection for these foreigners, but not on restraints or penalty Next, most of these regulations are declarative and advisory, without any actual effects Hence, it is likely that these regulations will become 'decorative' regulations Lastly, it seems that it is not necessary to regulate that foreigners can receive language and cultural education, child care, and education for children only within 3 years after obtaining nationalities because some of foreigners still need some supports after this regulated period of time So it appears appropriate to abolish the limit of time in this item

재한외국인처우기본법 이민기금 설치의 필요성

김종세 한양법학회 2019 漢陽法學 Vol.30 No.2

A fund is established by law only when the state needs to operate certain funds flexibly for a specific purpose, which means funds that can be operated without being subject to revenue or tax expenditure. To realize a special policy objective, the fund can be held and operated for a specific project so that it can be operated more flexibly away from the general constraints of the budget principle. The budget and the fund are the same fiscal management tools of the government, but in the case of the fund, they differ from the budget in that the autonomy and resilience of fund management entities are guaranteed. The biggest feature of funds being distinguished from budgets is the ability to draw up a fiscal management plan for the purposes of the fund management entity without going through a general budget process. In modern fiscal policy seeking an integrated budget, funds are included with general account and special account to be used as data for fiscal policy, increasing the importance of management and control. However, it is generally over budgeted, and the benefits are based on the law. It can be operated without budget and has relative autonomy in operation under the responsibilities of the Minister in charge through separate operational regulations. Taking into account the nature or characteristics of these funds and fund systems, there is a need for immigration funds to pursue and support a realistic and effective immigration policy for true social integration in Korean immigrant communities. At a time when the number of foreigners residing in Korea is rapidly increasing as a social phenomenon and the purpose of staying in Korea is gradually diversifying, many social problems have arisen, including anti-foreign sentiment among the public by implementing a policy of consistent benefits by considering Korean foreigners as simply those who need support. Going one step further, the failure to come up with a realistic and integrated support policy for Koreans and foreigners could lead to serious social problems by deepening conflicts between Koreans and foreigners as well as greatly increasing the tax burden on the people. Another important policy is to minimize the public's tax burden on integration costs between Koreans and foreigners in the future and to secure stable resources to support foreigners' smooth adaptation to the country through a shift in the policy that has been implemented so far at a time when conflicts between Koreans and foreigners are emerging. The fund needs to be raised using fees levied on immigrants and others to resolve conflicts between their own people and foreigners, resolve reverse discrimination and finance stable social integration. The time has come for Korea to contribute to the development of the Republic of Korea and social integration by promoting people's anti-depression by directly utilizing various expenses incurred by foreigners in their social integration and securing the funds needed for efficient social integration of foreigners living in Korea.

국내 이주민에 의한 잠재적 소요 예방을 위한 재한외국인처우기본법 개선안

Nowadays, it is considered that one of the most prominent social phenomena in Korea is the rapid pace of change toward a multi-cultural society. There are more than 130 million foreigners including migrant workers and marital immigrants in Korea. This trend has led Korean society to promote increased understanding of multi-cultural society. The Framework Act on Treatment of Foreigners Residing in the Republic of Korea provides that The state and local governments shall endeavor to take measures such as education, publicity, and correction of unreasonable institutions, etc. to ensure that Koreans and foreigners in Korea understand and respect each other`s history, culture and institution (Article 18). On the other hand, Korean people have been rebellious towards the potential that the occurrence of crime by foreigners will be on the rise. In this respect, it seems that Korea shares lots of similarities with France in many ways. France has already experienced such a period of transitional arrangement to a multi-cultural society prior to Korea and has been supporting the assimilation policy since there were riots by the second generation of Muslim immigration in 2005. This can give us a direction of immigration policy because both of the countries have a lot of similarities. As France did, Korea may not be able to avoid crime committed by young people who have multi-cultural background. France carried out an integrated policy focused on the “assimilation. As a result, the conflict between French locals and the immigrants was cumulative and erupted as a form of riot in the end. The current condition in Korea is similar to the French`s situation in 2005 in many aspects. While Korea has considered “Single-nationalism as an absolute value, “Republicanism in France. For this reason, the need to learn a lesson from the French riot about what is predicted in our society is sufficient. However, statistically, the immigrant crime rate is lower than the local one in Korea, so there is little possibility that such a large-scale riot as the French one will occur soon. Nevertheless, if the conflict between the locals and immigrants develops as the immigrants` children grow up, nobody can say that Korea is free from a riot by the immigrants. Therefore, through the revision of Framework Act on Treatment of Foreigners Residing in the Republic of Korea, we need to prevent a riot with proper precautions and should make the immigrants and local Koreans able to live together with harmony.

A Study on the Laws Regarding Social Integration of Migrants in Korea

( Kim Houn-joung ) 건국대학교 이주사회통합연구소 2023 Journal of Migration and Social Integration (JMSI) Vol.8 No.2

There is a growing interest in social integration of migrants living in Korea. This paper examines laws regarding social integration of migrants and explores measures to improve them. The concept of social integration of migrants can be understood based on two basic elements, “adaptation to the host society” and “reciprocity”. While a migrant is required to respect basic constitutional principles in the process of adaptation, forcing a migrant to give up his/her own culture and identity is contrary to reciprocity of social integration and is undesirable from the perspective of fundamental rights. Furthermore, legislation for social integration should be directed towards ensuring human dignity. This paper reviews laws related to social integration of migrants, i.e. Nationality Act, Immigration Act, Framework Act on Treatment of Foreigners Residing in the Republic Of Korea, Multicultural Families Support Act, and Act On the Employment Of Foreign Workers. Uncertainty of the definition and direction of the term social integration, overlapping and contradictory policies between government ministries, and discriminatory regulations based on migrants’ legal status and types of migration are important problems that these laws have. It is necessary to improve these laws focusing on basic elements of social integration, adaptation and reciprocity, rather than focusing on elements like nationality or status of stay.

For a long time Korea has maintained Han National Community and emigration policy. Recently foreigner's emigration and stay in Korea has increased, Korea has undertaken new dimensional social integration problem. To solve that problem, Korea established Framework Act of Foreigners Residing in the Republic of Korea on 2007.5.17.and Support for Multicultural Families Act on 2008.3.21. Multicultural society has prevailed all over the world. But those Acts has not permitted illegal entrant and resident. The integration of foreign nationals into the Korean society is possible if each individual fulfill his ability legally and korean nationals and immigrants respect each other. The spirit behind the law is inspiring interest in multicultural families, the nationality and permanent residence system, the introduction of selective immigration, and law and order . The legal system should put efforts in facilitating social integration.

외국인의 교육기본권 보장 현황과 과제

정필운 유럽헌법학회 2019 유럽헌법연구 Vol.0 No.30

As globalization intensifies, the number of foreigners receiving education in Korea is also steadily increasing. The purpose of this article is to review status of the constitutional rights to education of foreigners and to suggest what problems are and in what direction improvement is needed. To achieve this purpose, the Constitution of Republic of Korea considered whether foreigners were subject to the constitutional rights to education of Article 31 of the Constitution(II). And under the current law, we reviewed degree to which foreigners are guaranteed early childhood education, primary and secondary education and domestic adaptation education(III). Finally, the article was concluded by putting these discussions together (IV). The discussion of this article is as follows: First, I suggested that we pay more attention to this subject. Second, I presented new views that differ from existing theories on whether constitutional rights to education of foreigners should be recognized by foreigners. Third, I recommended that revisions of The Primary and Secondary Education Act be made to designate foreign children as subjects of compulsory education. Already, foreign children are recognized as subjects of compulsory education at our educational sites. Fourth, the Act on the Support of Multicultural Families and the Basic Act on the Treatment of Foreign Residents in Korea proposed to unify and efficiently operate various education support promotion and delivery systems, which are in place under the Act on the Support of Multicultural Families and the Basic Act on the Treatment of Foreign Residents in Korea. Fifth, it was recommended that professionals who educate the parents of foreign students operate it. Finally, minority understanding education for the majority was also recommended. 세계화가 심화되면서 국내에서 교육을 받는 외국인의 수도 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 이 글은 외국인의 교육기본권이 어느 정도 보장되고 있는지 그 현황을 살펴보고 어떤 문제점이 있으며 어떠한 방향으로 개선이 필요한지 제안하는 것을 그 목적으로 한다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위하여 우선 외국인이 헌법 제31조 교육기본권의 주체성이 있는지 헌법이론적 관점에서 검토하였다(Ⅱ). 그리고 현행법상 외국인은 유치원과 초중등교육, 국내적응교육을 어느 정도 보장받고 있는지 살펴보았다(Ⅲ). 마지막으로 이상의 논의를 정리하였다(Ⅳ). 이 글의 논의를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 이 주제에 대한 우리의 관심이 좀 더 필요하다. 이에 대한 체계적인 통계가 없는 것에서 알 수 있는 것처럼 우리는 정책적·연구적 관점에서 이에 관한 연구가 상대적으로 저발전되어 있다. 둘째, 전통적으로 헌법 제31조의 교육기본권은 사회적 기본권의 하나이므로 국민의 권리로 인식되어 외국인에게는 인정되지 않는 기본권으로 해석되어 왔다. 그러나 최근에는 이를 인간의 권리로 인식하여 외국인에게도 기본권을 인정하는 해석론이 제기되고 있다. 필자는 교육기본권 중 자유권적 요소는 인권의 성격을 갖는 기본권이므로 원칙적으로 외국인에게도 인정하고, 사회권적 요소는 당해 외국인이 우리 사회정치적 공동체에 편입 정도가 강한 경우에는 원칙적으로 인정하는 것이 타당하며, 평등권적 요소는 평등을 요구하는 결과 국가가 작용하여야 할 것이 소극적이라면 그것은 원칙적으로 외국인에게도 인정할 수 있지만 그 결과 국가가 작용하여야 할 것이 적극적이라면 제한적으로 인정하자고 제안하였다. 셋째, 현행 유아교육법은 외국인의 유치원 취학 가능성, 절차와 조건, 학비 등에 대한 규율이 없다. 그럼에도 유아교육 현장에서는 행정가의 적극적인 해석을 통하여 체류의 합법 여부를 묻지 않고 유치원 취학 자격을 부여하여 취학을 원하는 외국인은 취학하고 있다. 교육의 정치·사회적 통합 기능과 효과에 비추어 좀 더 적극적인 정책 추진과 이를 위한 사회적 합의 도출을 제안하였다. 넷째, 현행 초·중등교육법 등은 당해 외국인의 체류 적법성과 관계없이 그 자녀에게 초등학교, 중학교, 고등학교 교육을 받을 수 있도록 보장하고 있다. 그에 더하여 교육부는 이를 고양하기 위한 여러 정책을 추진하고 있다. 국제평화주의를 규정하고 있는 우리 헌법, 우리나라가 가입한 UN아동권리협약 등을 고려하면 바람직한 입법과 정책이다. 그러나 외국인 자녀를 의무교육의 대상으로 좀 더 분명하게 규정하는 것이 UN아동권리협약 제28조의 취지에 부합한다. 이것은 기존 상황을 규범화하는 문제에 불과하므로 신속하게 정비할 것을 권고하였다. 나아가 불법체류자의 외국인 자녀도 차별없이 교육을 받을 수 있도록 보장하고 있지만, 불법체류자인 외국인 자녀의 상당수는 발각이 두려워 초등학교와 중학교 교육을 받지 않는 것으로 알려져 있으므로 자녀의 학적에 근거하여 불법체류자 색출 금지를 법에서 명시할 것을 제안하였다. 다섯째, 「다문화가족지원법」과 「재한외국인처우에 관한 기본법」에 따라 결혼이민자등에 대한 언어 교육, 사회적응교육 등 다양한 교육이 실행되고 있다. 교육을 포괄한 모든 내용과 법체계를 고려하였을 때 양법이 중복과 충돌이 발생하므로 장기적으로 특별 교육을 하나의 법에서 ...

외국인근로자에 대한 한국어교육의 현황과 제도 개선 방안

정훈,정상우,이원선 한국국제문화교류학회 2021 문화교류와 다문화교육 Vol.10 No.5

외국인근로자의 장기체류 현상에 따라 이들에 대한 한국어교육이 보다 중요한 쟁점으로 인식되고 있다. 외국인근로자에 대한 한국어교육은 이들의 한국사회 적응과 인권보장, 나아가 그들이 한국사회에 기여할 수 있는 기반이 될 것이다. 이 연구에서는 외국인근로자에 대한 한국어교육의 의의와 필요성에 대해 고찰하고, 이들에 대한 한국어교육의 현황을 입국을 전후한 시간적 흐름에 따라 문제점을 분석한 후, 외국인근로자의 한국어능력 향상을 지원하기 위한 법적·제도적 개선 방안을 다음과 같이 제안하였다. 첫째, 「재한외국인처우기본법」에 외국인근로자들을 정책 대상으로 적극적으로 명시하고 출입국관리법의 사회통합프로그램을 동법에 옮겨 규정함으로써 외국인근로자의 사회통합프로그램의 한국어교육을 보다 적극적으로 활용하게 하는 방안이다. 둘째, 「외국인근로자의 고용 등에 관한 법률」에 이주 단계별 한국어교육을 위한 체계적 지원방안을 직접적으로 마련하는 것이다. 한국 입국 이전부터 적극적인 지원 방안을 마련할 필요가 있다고 보았다. 셋째, 한국어교원의 근거 규정이 있는 「국어기본법」에 이주민을 위한 한국어교육 활성화를 명문화해야 하는 것이다. 한국어교원이나 한국어교재가 외국인근로자의 특성에 보다 맞추어진 형태로 양성되거나 제공되어야 할 것으로 보았다. 외국인근로자들에 대한 한국어교육은 그들의 권익보장의 첫걸음일 뿐만 아니라그들이 한국사회 발전에 기여하는 기반이 될 것이다. Due to the prolonged stay of foreign workers, Korean language education for them is recognized as a more important topic. Korean language education for foreign workers will serve as the basis for their adaptation to Korean society and guarantee of human rights, and furthermore, for their contribution to Korean society. In this study, we first consider the significance and necessity of Korean language education for foreign workers. We analyze the problems by dividing the status of Korean language education for them by the time they enter the country. Based on this, legal and institutional improvement measures to support the improvement of foreign workers' Korean language skills were proposed as follows: First, the Framework Act on the Treatment of Foreigners in Korea should actively specify foreign workers as targets of policies. In addition, by transferring and defining social integration programs of the Immigration Act to this Act, the Korean language education of foreign workers is more actively utilized. Second, the Act on the Employment of Foreign Workers should directly prescribe systematic support measures for Korean language education at the stage of migration. In particular, it was necessary to come up with active support measures even before entering Korea. Third, the Framework Act on Korean Language, which has the basis rules for Korean language teachers, should stipulate the revitalization of Korean language education for immigrants. Korean language teachers should be trained or Korean language textbooks should provided in a more tailored form to the characteristics of foreign workers. Korean language education for foreign workers will not only be the first step in guaranteeing their rights but also serve as the foundation for their contribution to the development of Korean society.
