Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out the experience and meaning of discrimination among Korean-Chinese part-time job international students. To this end, after in-depth interviews with nine Korean-Chinese part-time job international students from May to June 2022, the data were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological research method. The findings were as follows: New challenges for living expenses and efficient adaptation, this road full of thorns, efforts to adapt beyond discrimination, growth and relationships through part-time jobs turned out to be opportunities. This experience became a process for Korean-Chinese part-time international students to grow further as well as solve economic problems. However, they are subject to multiple discrimination due to their dual status as international students and ethnic Korean-Chinese. Their Korean identity gives a more directed differential experience in the process of working part-time. But in the process, they are still overcoming difficulties. Korean-Chinese international students are growing up by accepting discrimination experiences and adapting to their international life. As a result of the above research, we need education and help to guarantee working human rights for Korean-Chinese part-time students with the development of a multicultural society in the future.

본 연구는 조선족 아르바이트 유학생의 차별경험과 의미를 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위해 조선족 아르바이트 유학생 9명을 대상으로 2022년 5월부터 6월까지 심층면담 후 자료를 Colaizzi의 현상학적 연구방법으로 분석하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 생활비 마련과 효율적인 적응을 위한 새로운 도전, 둘째, 가시덤불 가득한 이 길, 셋째, 차별을 넘는 적응에 노력, 넷째, 아르바이트를 통한 성장과 관계맺음에 기회로 드러났다. 이 경험은 조선족 아르바이트 유학생에게 경제적인 문제를 해결뿐만 아니라 자신이 더 성장하는 과정이 되었다. 그러나 그들은 유학생과 조선족인 이중신분으로 다중차별을 받고 있다. 그들의 조선족 신분은 아르바이트 과정에서 더 지향적인 차별경험을 준다. 하지만 이 과정에서 그들은 어려움을 극복하고 있다. 조선족 유학생은 차별경험을 받아드리고 유학생활에 적응하며 성장하고 있다. 이상의 연구결과로 우리는 향후 다문화사회의 발전으로 조선족 아르바이트 유학생의 근로인권보장의 교육과 도움이 필요하다.
