The main purpose of this thesis is to arrange preceding theoretical research and to try to find a suitable, alternative plan for employing and managing immigrant workers by analysing recent research on actual working condition. To accomplish this, I used documents, reports, and periodicals from Korea and other countries about the employment of immigrant workers. In this paper, I will explain the background of foreign employment from a world perspective and a domestic perspective. I will examine the argument of introducing immigrant workers. And then I have separated the positions into an exporting countries view and an importing countries view and explain the influence and effect of employing immigrant workers. Finally, I will present the current conditions of the system and policy for employing immigrant workers. The main points in the research of real condition about the employment and management of immigrant workers in Chapter Ⅳ are listed below. a. The employers say recent trainee systems have the most serious problems with field deserters and illegal employees. b. The employers say the issues of personal rights within the trainee systems should be renewed. c. The majority of the employers think that the immigrant workers should be accepted as formal employees, not as trainees. Using this information, I believe the ways to increase the efficiency of employing immigrant workers are: a. Establish a new, special organization that would be exclusively responsible for foreign labor issues. b. Establish another organization that will bear responsibility for the management of foreign labor, currently controlled by Korea Federation of Small Business and Alien Training Cooperation Corps. c. In the event of an absolute shortage of manpower, even though the problems of employing immigrant workers are not resolved, importing foreign labor under specific restrictions should be allowed. d. Legal and systemic benefits provided to domestic employees should also be provided to legal, foreign employees. Also, when the quality of work is equal between foreign and domestic employees, so should the salaries be equal.
