- Abstract
- (Purpose) The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze immigration policies in the United States, Canada, and Australia and to suggest implications for Korean immigration policies.
(Design/methodology/approach) To compare immigration policies by country, this study divided the areas of comparison into (1) population change and immigration population, (2) types and characteristics of immigration policy in each country, and (3) the latest trends in immigration policy.
(Findings) First, since the 1970s, the US, Canada, Australia and South Korea's population birth rate has been declining continuously, while it is expected. the proportion of the elderly population is 23.0% in the US, Canada, 22.0% in Australia and 40.0% in Korea in 2060. Second, the United States, Canada, and Australia are expected to see population growth due to continuous influx of immigrants despite low birth rate and high age population, while Korea, which has limited immigrant inflows, is expected to decrease along with Germany and Japan. Third, the Australian and Canadian immigration policy focuses on technical migration (67.5%) or economic migration (55.6%), while the United States focuses on family migration (66.4%). In addition, it was found that all three countries set an upper limit on immigrants by type of immigration and manage the influx of immigrants selectively. Finally, the United States, Canada and Australia have established and used immigrant databases to understand the degree of economic and social impacts of immigration.
(Research implications or Originality) Recent changes in immigration policy in the United States, Canada, and Australia include: (1) selecting customized migrants based on labor market demand, (2) expanding the employment of short-term migrant workers to meet immediate labor market demands, (3) actively attracting international students who can become technical migrants, (4) reform of refugee acceptance system, and (5) migrants' local inflow policy.
