研究実績の概要 |
This project examined labor market participation of Filipina marriage immigrants with its sociopolitical implications. By tracing work experiences of the study participants and conducting in-depth interviews, this project revealed how women are confined within the closed circuit of precarious labor without much promise of upward mobility. Further, the experiences of precarious labor hinder women’s access to substantive citizenship, in particular, their participatory capacity in voluntary associational activities. Yet, I also found that women's particular position in the labor market also enabled their claims-making for economic citizenship, emphasizing their contribution to Korean society. I presented the outcomes in several international conferences and published articles and book chapters. I believe the project contributes to the literature on marriage migration, as well as broader scholarly discussion on economic citizenship.
