Resumen
Desde su desarrollo económico y ascenso en el mercado global, Corea del Sur se ha ganado una reputación de líder tecnológico. El gobierno ha buscado una imagen internacional positiva mientras enfrentaba la escasez de mano de obra debido al crecimiento económico en la década de los ochenta y una población activa en declive. Esto condujo a políticas de inmigración como el Programa de Capacitación Técnica Industrial (ITTP), que luego fue remplazado en 2004 por el Sistema de Permiso de Empleo (EPS–Employment Permit Sytem), para trabajadores poco calificados. Hoy, la creciente población extranjera presenta desafíos para la integración cultural y la cohesión social. Corea del Sur se esfuerza por convertirse en una sociedad multicultural; sin embargo, la comprensión del multiculturalismo apunta a la asimilación en lugar de la integración, y reproduce narrativas de exclusión entre la población extranjera. Este documento evalúa el multiculturalismo de Corea en consonancia con las experiencias de los trabajadores filipinos en dicho país, en relación con las políticas multiculturales que el gobierno busca implementar.
