The Difference

This study examines whether information asymmetry during the matchmaking period affects women’s choice of spouse. The 2010 amendment of the Marriage Brokers Business Management Act requiring international marriage brokers in South Korea to provide more information about their South Korean male clients to prospective foreign brides in brokered marriages provided an opportunity to probe this question. Using the National Survey of Multicultural Families 2015, we employed the difference-in-differences method. Following the 2010 amendment, foreign women in brokered marriages were more likely to marry a more-educated Korean man and were less likely to work in low-skilled jobs after marriage.

Chapter 2 provides the background for the empirical study that is the basis of Elusive Belonging. I first describe the context of rural South Korea, where one in three marriages is an international marriage, followed by a description of international marriage trends in Korea. Because most of my subjects were matched by the Unification Church, an international religious organization that promotes intermarriage, I then explain the Unification Church and its matching process. I describe the Korean state’s policies regarding marriage migrants and its “multiculturalism” project. Finally, I provide general information on my informants.

Historical Origins

Chaebol is a very contentious word in Korea, both practically and theoretically. Chaebols serve as genes, deeply imprinted on the structural characteristics and historical origins of all sectors, including politics, society, and culture, as well as the economy and business management in South Korea. The assessment of Chaebols is largely expressed using one of three metaphors: angels, demons, or necessary evils in South Korea’s political economy. The democratization in 1987 and the 1997 Asian economic crisis served as dual pressures that triggered economic reform and resulted in extensive institutional change and Chaebol reform. Under the pressures of globalization and democratization, the country’s developmental state and Chaebols are all going through the process of reform and evolution. The sustainability and future of Chaebols will depend on how innovative they are in the global market and how much they can enhance social trust in South Korea.
