Cross-National Labor Migration of Koreans and Vietnamese (Approach from A Policy Perspective)

Abstract

In the context of globalization, the number of international labor migrations is continuously increasing. This trend is particularly noticeable in Asian countries, where the wave of migration and investment has been rapid and robust since the 1990s. This shift occurred as more countries began to adopt open policies and proactively integrate into the international community. Vietnam and South Korea, two countries with comprehensive partnerships, large labor forces, and significant investment sources, are prime examples of this trend. This article will focus on analyzing the changes and improvements in policies from the governments of Vietnam and South Korea. These policy adjustments aim to enhance the environment for their citizens to participate in the international labor market.
