Korea used to be a typical migrant sending country in the 1960s and 1970s. It sent miners and nurses to Germany, construction workers to the Middle East, and soldiers to Vietnam. In the late 1980s, Korea underwent a rapid economic growth followed by the development of labor movements. As a result, workers’ wages increased and 3D (Dirty, Difficult, Dangerous) industries began to suffer from labor shortages. The demand for cheap labor went up, and Korea started to import migrant workers from low-wage Asian countries. Now Korea is one of the major migrant receiving countries in Northeast Asia.
