The problem of integration of repatriates into society from the CIS countries in South Korea

In this article the authors describe a comprehensive migration policy for the resettlement of ethnic Koreans to South Korea. According to the latest data, the number of ethnic Koreans who moved to South Korea from the CIS countries, called “Koryoin” or “Koryo-Saram,” has reached 800 thousand. Therefore, the question of their representatives in Korean society is relevant. Based on historical, content analysis and biological research methods, the authors gradually analyze the history of migration of Korean repatriates and try to determine the reason for their return to their historical homeland. The main reason for attracting ethnic Koreans to the country is to fill the shortage of cheap labor in South Korea. The reason why repatriates move to South Korea is concerned with the goal of improving the quality of life and economic conditions. However, despite all the favorable conditions created by the host country, repatriates will have to face difficulties in the process of integration in Korean society. First of all, this is a language problem. The problem of finding work to complete also remains relevant. Therefore, ethnic Korean immigrants began to form a network among themselves to solve these problems. On the one hand, these isolated gated communities are a major obstacle to the integration of ethnic Koreans in the host society, and on the other hand, such closed networks ensure the stability and security of Korea.
