ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on possible areas for improvement; it does not disregard positive changes to improve the lives of migrant workers. It also explores the ways in which the latter is demonstrated with reference to migrant workers in Korean society, which has already been discriminatory in its socio-historical context. The discrimination against migrant workers in the workplace is manifested in work allocation process. It is worth exploring the ways in which specific individual experiences are influenced by their work in general or how broader administrative practices are experienced by migrant workers. Chang Sun-Mi, an advocate for multiculturalism, also reported that discrimination and exclusion of migrant workers will further impoverish them and lead to social conflicts. Migrant workers' multicultural encounters seem to most vividly demonstrate the ways in which nouveau-riche nationalism and pure-bloodism are strengthened and practised. The National Human Rights Commission is well aware of the fundamental problems that raise inter-departmental disputes over their responsibilities to deal with migrant workers.
