제목: Migrant Children: A Qualitative Study on Korean-Chinese and Korean-Vietnamese Children Returning to Their Mothers’ Homelands

초록: As Korean society integrates more and more into the global village at large, the number of migrant children with Korean backgrounds and living outside Korea continues to grow. The double challenge of having to adapt to the new society and the new family environment complicates the prospects for these children growing into well-adapted and thriving citizens. This study sheds light on Korean migrant children who have returned, with their parents, to Yanbian in China and Vietnam - two major places of origin for many marriage immigrants.
