1. 연구의 필요성 및 목적 □ 2000년대 중반 이후 다문화가족 정책은 다문화가족지원법의 제정, 중앙부처 차원의 정책 전담부서 설치, 관련 부처 간 조정을 위한 추진체계 마련 등 주목할 만한 성장을 이룸. 또한 지역 차원의 정책 추진기반이 갖추어지면서 다문화가족 전담 서비스 기관인 다문화가족지원센터(2007년까지는 결혼이민자가족지원센터)는 2006년 21개소를 시작으로 2011년 200개소가 설치됨. 또한 실제 다문화가족지원센터 이용자도 2006년 2,733명에서 2011년 52,697명으로 크게 증가하여 양적인 측면에서 다문화가족 정책과 수요자의 관계가 현저히 발전함. □ 다문화가족지원법 상 다문화가족 정책의 핵심 대상은 결혼이민자와 한국인으로 구성된 가족으로 이러한 가족의 구성원들이 '안정적인 가족생활을 영위할 수 있도록 함으로써 이들의 삶의 질 향상과 사회통합에 이바지함'을 정책의 목적으로 삼고 있음. 따라서 한국인이 포함되지 않은 이민자 가족 등 유사한 성격을 지니고 있으나 정책대상에서 제외된 집단이 존재함. □ 다문화가족지원센터 지원서비스 이용률 또한 낮은 수준에 머물러 있으며, 다문화가족 정책은 법ㆍ제도적 차원에서 규정된 대상을 모두 포괄하지 못한 채 이 가운데 일부 집단만을 대상으로 발전해왔을 가능성이 크며, 현실적 차원에서 정책에서 소외된 사각지대가 발생할 가능성이 있음. □ 본 연구에서는 다문화가족 지원정책의 수혜 현황을 파악하고 정책 추진과정에서 주변화된 집단이 발생하는 원인을 규명하며 이들 집단과 정책의 관계를 재구성할 수 있는 방안을 모색함.

South Korea's policy on multicultural families has achieved remarkable progress since the mid-2000s when the country legislated the Multicultural Family Support Act; formed departments dedicated to multicultural family policy at the central government level; and prepared inter-departmental coordinating systems. However, the policy is likely to leave out some groups if it fails to embrace all the groups prescribed by the law and the system. Focusing on female Korean-ethnic Chinese marriage immigrants, male marriage immigrants and their families who are excluded from the policy, this study aims to examine the policy demands of these groups, their experiences with receiving policy benefits, and the limitations of policy approaches for them. This study analyzed the original data of the 2009 national survey about the actual conditions of multicultural families and the use of multicultural family support centers by sub-groups of marriage immigrants. The analysis showed that compared to other ethnic Koreans, female Korean-Chinese marriage immigrants were often excluded from multicultural family policy. Due to the particular backgrounds of their parents, Korean-ethnic Chinese people have high demands for their children's identity issues, parent-child relationships, social discrimination, and the pursuit of better jobs. Though they solve many daily problems when they join their families and relatives staying in Korea, they are limited in coping with critical issues, such as children's problems and a parent's role in school. They have had experiences with using institutional services in the past but it is notable that they no longer maintain their relationships with the institutions. Male marriage immigrants faced serious problems with their children being isolated from peers due to their different appearance. They were also aware of the problem of being treated as "permanent foreigners" regardless of their acquisition of Korean nationality. Also, their networks were limited in sharing alternatives because of heterogeneity or differences in group members. Their use of services was also limited to support for children's learning, one-time cultural experiences, etc., and it is hard to resolve their deep-felt policy demands through the policy. "Distancing" of existing policies from multicultural family policy has also had a significant impact because the policies viewed these groups as lacking something or identified them as having negative traits. In addition, previous policies set policy agendas centering on married immigrant women who were still adjusting to Korean culture and their Korean husbands. Policy implementers at front-line agencies have insufficient systems to clearly identify demands from local policy targets at institutional levels. Even if some agencies were able to identify some of the demands, they still had difficulty attempting to implement a constant approach to policy demands because they could hardly expect stable support for budgets. Therefore, this study developed the following suggestions: ① Shift from a support-centered to a social participation-oriented paradigm ② Coordinate specialized projects for multicultural families and vitalize joint participatory programs ③ Diversify programs for marriage immigrants ④ Expand services for children from multicultural families ⑤ Form a marriage immigrant council, taking into account the distribution of gender and former nationality ⑥ Establish a support system for developing programs in response to regional and target-specific demands ⑦ Enhance front-line officials' understanding of target groups ⑧ Improve user management of service agencies and their business operation systems and ⑨ Vitalize functions connecting resources and information at the regional level
