It seeks to explore the potential of an intercultural approach to integration in communities with culturally diverse populations. The cities participating in the programme are reviewing their governance, policies, discourse and practices from an intercultural point of view. In the past, this review has taken the form of narrative reports and city profiles – a form which was rich in content and detail. However, narrative reports alone were relatively weak as tools to monitor and communicate progress. Thus, an “Intercultural City Index” has been designed as a benchmarking tool for the cities taking part in the programme as well as for future participants. While this report is being written (July 2020) 168 cities have embraced the ICC programme and approach, and 140 (including ANSAN CITY) have analysed their intercultural policies using the Intercultural City Index. The respective reports can be found here: https://www.coe.int/en/web/interculturalcities/index-results-per-city . Among these cities, 26 cities (including ANSAN CITY) have more than 500,000 inhabitants and 35 (including ANSAN) have 10-15% of foreign-born residents. This document presents the results of the Intercultural City Index analysis for ANSAN CITY, THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA, in 2020, and provides related intercultural policy conclusions and recommendations. METHODOLOGY The Intercultural City Index analysis is based on a questionnaire involving 86 questions (73 of which are mandatory) grouped in 12 indicators with three distinct types of data. Indicators have been weighed for relative importance. For each indicator, the participating cities can reach up to 100 points (which are consolidated for the general ICC Index). These indicators comprise the following (including the two new indicators in bold): 1. Commitment 2. Intercultural lens Education 3. Mediation and conflict resolution Neighbourhoods 4. Language Public services 5. Media and communication Business and the labour market 6. International outlook Cultural and social life 7. Intercultural intelligence and competence Public space 8. Welcoming newcomers 9. Leadership and citizenship 10. Anti-discrimination 11. Participation 12. Interaction The comparison between cities is strictly indicative, given the large difference between cities in terms of historical development, type and scale of diversity, governance models and level of economic development. The comparison is based on a set of formal criteria related to the intercultural approach in urban policies and intended only as a tool for benchmarking/benchlearning, to motivate cities to learn from good practice. Taking into account the above-mentioned differences between the cities and a growing number of new cities willing to join the Intercultural Cities Index, in 2019 it has been decided to compare the cities not only within the entire sample, but also according to specific criteria. Two of these have been singled out insofar: the size (below 100,000 inhabitants, between 100,000 and 200,000, between 200,000 and 500,000 and above 500,000 inhabitants) and the percentage of foreign-born residents (lower than 10 per cent, between 10 and 15 per cent, between 15 and 20 per cent and higher than 20 per cent). It is believed that this approach would allow for more valid and useful comparison, visual presentation and filtering of the results. So far, 16 cities have used the index containing the new indicators in their evaluations, including ANSAN CITY. Thus, the city will be compared to the entire sample for all the indicators, and to the new sample for the new indicators relating to participation and interaction. According to the overall index results, ANSAN CITY has an aggregate intercultural city index of 80 (out of 100 possible points). The details of this result will be explained below.

Situated on the coast of the Yellow Sea, known locally as the West Sea, some of the Yellow Sea islands, such as Daebu Island, also come under its jurisdiction. It is connected to Seoul by rail. It consists of two Districts, (Sangrok District and Danwon District), which include 25 Neighbourhoods. Each District has a population of approximately 360,000 people, and the average size of a Neighbourhood is 30,000 people. Ansan City is a global city that has the greatest number of non-national residents of the 226 local governments in the Republic of Korea, with 87,696 people from 105 countries. Citizens with foreign nationality account for 11.9% of the total population. The number of non-nationals increased by 270% in the decade from 2008. Of all non-nationals, people from China (65%) form the largest share due to historical and geographic proximity, followed by Uzbekistan (10%), Russia (7.8%), Kazakhstan (3%), Vietnam (2.7%), Indonesia (1.4%), and the Philippines (1.3%). 5,756 children have foreign nationality in Ansan, and 10% of them are foreign-born. In the Republic of Korea families with children with foreign nationality are not eligible for childcare subsidies. Ansan City launched the first and only local government policy in the Republic of Korea to provide childcare subsidies to all children with foreign nationality

  • Immigrants and WIOA Services: Comparison of Sociodemographic Characteristics of Native- and Foreign-Born Adults in New York City, New York
    Fact Sheet April 2016 Immigrants and WIOA Services Comparison of Sociodemographic Characteristics of Native- and Foreign-Born Adults in New York City, New York By Margie McHugh and Madeleine Morawski 1 This fact sheet provides a profile of key characteristics of foreign-born and native-born residents of New York City that are relevant to understanding needs for adult education and workforce training services. It is part of a largerWorkforce series of Innovationstate and county and Opportunity fact sheets producedAct by the Migration Policy Institute’s (MPI) National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy to support equitable implementation of the (WIOA), as well as consideration of other policy and funding initiatives to promote the successful linguistic, economic, and civic integration of immigrants and refugees who have settled in the United States. The estimates provided are based on MPI analysis of U.S. Census Bureau American Commu- nity Survey (ACS) data pooled over the 2010-14 period in order to provide the most detailed sociodemographic portrait possible of residents’ characteristics. Mirroring the design of ACTS federal adult education and workforce training program rules, data are provided for those ages 16 and over. F 1) Nativity, Age, and Origin of New York City Residents ON I As of 2010-14, New York City was home to more than 6.7 million residents ages 16 and older; nearly 3 million of whom, or 44 percent, were foreign born. Relatively fewer of the city’s for- eign-born individuals are ages 16-18 or ages 19-24 as compared to its native-born residents; GRAT rather, they are more likely to be in their prime working years, with 68 percent falling in the I 25-to-44 and 45-to-59 age bands (compared to 58 percent of those who are native born).

  • K-Pop in Latin America: Transcultural Fandom and Digital Mediation
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 2250–2269 1932–8036/20170005 K-Pop in Latin America: Transcultural Fandom and Digital Mediation BENJAMIN HAN Concordia University Wisconsin, USA This article examines the transnational popularity of K-pop in Latin America. It argues K- pop as a subculture that transforms into transcultural fandom via digital mediation, further resulting in its accommodation into Latin American mass culture. The article further engages in a critical analysis of K-pop fan activism in Latin America to explore the transcultural dynamics of K-pop fandom. In doing so, the article provides a more holistic approach to the study of the Korean Wave in Latin America within the different “scapes” of globalization. Keywords: K-pop, fandom, Latin America, digital culture, Korean Wave The popularity of K-pop around the globe has garnered mass media publicity as Psy’s “Gangnam Style” reached number two on the Billboard Charts and became the most watched video on YouTube in 2012. Although newspapers, trade journals, and scholars have examined the growing transnational popularity of K-pop in East Asia, the reception and consumption of K-pop in Latin America have begun to receive serious scholarly consideration only in the last few years. Numerous reasons have been explicated for the international appeal and success of K-pop, but it also is important to understand that the transnational and transcultural fandom of K-pop cannot be confined solely to its metavisual aesthetics that creatively syncretize various genres of global popular music such as Black soul and J-pop. K-pop as hybrid music accentuated with powerful choreography is a form of visual spectacle but also promotes a particular kind of lifestyle represented by everyday modernity in which social mobility in the form of stardom becomes an important facet of the modernization process in Latin America.

It focuses on the questions of experi- ence and identity for these individuals and their families, at an intersection of places and cultures. In particular, this essay attempts to compare the relative experiences of Asian Latinos as an ethnic minority in two different social situations: the Latin American country to which their family emigrated from Asia and the United States. Introduction he field of Ethnic Studies is one of inherent change and evolution. After all, no matter the topic, the work of our scholars revolves around the lives of working, moving, grow- Ting human beings. Diaspora studies – the study of the spread and movement of a group of people through time and space – and its related topics of transnationalism and mixed race studies – are often neglected and overlooked, yet recent academic trends show that they are increasingly becoming prominent in university classrooms.1 I first became interested in Asian diaspora studies while studying abroad in Mexico and Spain.

  • The Politics of Diaspora Management in the Republic of Korea
    The Politics of Diaspora Management in the Republic of Korea Harris Mylonas Assistant Professor George Washington University The Republic of Korea has an elaborate diaspora management policy since the 1990s. But what accounts for the variation in policies toward Koreans in China, Japan, North America, and the former Soviet Union? In this issue brief I explore various explanations for this variation: ethnic hierarchy, with some of these communities considered as more purely Korean than others; the timing and reasons behind the emigration of each group; the skills that each community has; the degree of organization abroad; and, finally, the nature of interstate relations and balance of power between South Korea and the respective host states. Diaspora management is a term I have re-conceptualized to describe both the policies that states follow in order to build links with their diaspora abroad and the policies designed to help with the incorporation and integration of diasporic communities when they “return” home.1 In particular, I focus on the conditions under which a government treats some of its diasporic communities more favorably—e.g. providing them with incentives to “return” back to the homeland—than others. South Korea fits the characteristics of a country with developed diaspora management policies: it has a clear definition of a “national type”; a population outside of its borders that can fit the criteria of this 1 definition; and, since the late 1980s, the capacity to design and implement such a policy. These characteristics together with the national security threats that it is facing and its position in global economic competition render it a good case to test my argument outside of the European continent.

  • Chapter 4: the Impact of Korean Immigration on the US Economy
    4 The Impact of Korean Immigration on the US Economy MARCUS NOLAND Korean migration to the United States has occurred in three distinct phases. The first phase involved a relatively small number of migrants at the beginning of the 20th century; the second consisted mainly of stu- dents motivated by educational opportunity in the first decade or so fol- lowing the Korean War; and the third started in 1965 with the liberalization of the US national quota system. This chapter examines the economic impact of Korean immigration on the US economy, focusing on the third wave of immigration that began in 1965. This group of Korean immigrants appears to be distinct both from most other national immigrant groups and previous Korean immigrants. They have high levels of educational attainment, with rates of college edu- cation nearly twice the US national average. They form businesses at a rate 70 percent higher than the US public at large, and have savings rates of roughly twice the national average. Their children have achieved even higher rates of educational attainment and earn per capita incomes well above the national average. There is a correlation between the presence of Korean immigrants and state economic performance, and if this were in- terpreted as a causal relation, it would suggest that a doubling of the Korean immigrant population would increase national per capita income growth by 0.1-0.2 percentage points. Marcus Noland is a senior fellow at the Institute for International Economics. He would like to thank Scott Holladay for excellent research assistance. 61 Institute for International Economics | http://www.iie.com Korean Immigration to the United States The first treaty on immigration between the United States and Korea was signed in 1882, and within a few years a small number of merchants, stu- dents, and political dissidents began arriving in America.

Since the 1980s under the auspices of Japanese government’s“ 100,000 International Students Plan” Joseonjok as a sub-group of Chinese migrants have moved to Japan to seek out better life chances. During the course of their settlement in Japan, their identity has become multilayered because of their Chinese nationality and Korean ethnicity as well as their Japanese cultural competencies. Furthermore, their identity has been shaped by their multilingual and transnational experiences. To implement this research, I have reviewed Joseonjok researches performed in China, Japan, and South Korea. I have used qualitative methods combining in-depth interviews and participant observation which have been performed in the Tokyo area since 2016. I have also performed on-line surveys through the media sites of Joseonjok communities. The main purpose of this research is to examine how multilingualism and transnationalism affect the construction of Joseonjok identity in Japan. Joseonjok’s trilingual ability and their transnational activities among the three countries have affected the formation of the distinctive identity as an ethnic minority in Japan. The multilingual and transnational identity of Joseonjok in Japan keeps evolving through the process of formation, construction, and negotiation.
