Needs of increasing Chinese workers in Korea and a legal study on the problems caused by the increase of Chinese workers in Korea are examined in this paper.
An increase of employment of Chinese workers in Korea can contribute to increase of employment of Korea workers in Korea as well as can play an important role in the attracting Chinese Investment to Korea, the coming back of Korean enterprises which invested in China to Korea, and the preventing Korean enterprises from going abroad to invest. Therefore, it
is needed to increase employment of Chinese workers in Korea.
Even if it is needed to increase employment of Chinese workers in Korea, there can be some problems which must be resolved. These problems are like corruption in the course of flowing Chinese workers into Korea, discrimination between Chinese workers and Korean workers in an
enterprise, delayed payment of wages, restriction on moving workplace, social security, marriage, a stay of members of family, an infringement on human rights like corporal punishment, and social problems like crimes.
But these problems are not as severe as problems in the case of flowing other general foreign workers to Korea. These problems even can be reduced because Chinese workers are flowed into Korea through the type of dispatch from Chinese enterprises or Chinese enterprises invested from Korea.
The expanded employment of Chinese workers to Korean enterprise is a foreign worker employment, employment kind of incentives to attract foreign investment. This paper suggests that it is proper that incentive of employment of Chinese workers is expanded to 50% of workers in an enterprise. This paper also suggests that the equal treatment between Chinese workers and Korean workers in labor conditions in an enterprise must be protected.
