Abstract

South Korea is undergoing significant demographic change, characterised by a growing foreign resident population and an increase in multicultural families. These changes, driven by an ageing population and declining birth rates, emphasise the urgency of effective migration policies. This study analyses the demographic trends and highlights the increase in the foreign population, multicultural students and regional inequalities. It critically assesses South Korea’s migration policy and identifies gaps in long-term integration, educational equity and community support. Drawing on best practises from countries such as Canada, Germany and Finland, the study proposes actionable reforms including equity-focused education, scalable support systems and skills-based migration pathways. This study offers a comprehensive framework for sustainable and inclusive migration strategies and contributes new insights to the policy discourse in East Asia.
