Abstract

Since the late 1980s, Korea's phenomenal growth had gefun to draw in workers at the low end of the skill level from other Asian countries, whereas the rudimentary foreign labour policy envisaged only the more or less temporary employment of highly skilled workers. The resulting gaps, inevitably, tend to be filled with foreigners, whose lack of knowledge of local labour markets and status conditions as non-residents render it easy for employers to exploit them.
