근거 기반의 이민정책 수립을 위한 국내 이주민 대상 통계 검토 = The review of statistics on immigrants to inform the evidence-based immigration policy

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study reviewed current statistics on immigrants in Korea, focusing on administrative data sets and survey data by governments. First, we analyzed the definitions of immigrants and the characteristics of administrative data across ministries. Then, we compared three survey data regarding their comparability.
The study aimed to provide implications for advancing immigrant-related statistics through the review. Significant issues and suggestions found in our review are as follows. First, the definitions of immigrants and related statistics they provide are inconsistent for use, leading to inappropriate use of the statistics or their interpretations. Second, surveys on immigrants are not comparable with each other or with surveys on the natives. Third, developing panel surveys to understand immigrants’ settlement processes in Korea is critical. Fourth, surveys reviewed in the current study rarely provide residential information, resulting in a lack of understanding of immigrants’ lives in local areas. Fifth, the surveys targeted documented immigrants and naturalized citizens, resulting in missing information on undocumented immigrants for policy development. Lastly, it is crucial to provide details of the statistics and data promptly.
