description Desde su desarrollo económico y ascenso en el mercado global, Corea del Sur se ha gana­do una reputación de líder tecnológico. El gobierno ha buscado una imagen interna­cional positiva mientras enfrentaba la esca­sez de mano de obra debido al crecimiento económico en la década de los ochenta y una población activa en declive. Esto con­dujo a políticas de inmigración como el Programa de Capacitación Técnica Indus­trial (ITTP), que luego fue remplazado en 2004 por el Sistema de Permiso de Empleo (EPS–Employment Permit Sytem), para tra­bajadores poco calificados. Hoy, la creciente población extranjera presenta desafíos para la integración cultural y la cohesión social. Corea del Sur se esfuerza por convertirse en una sociedad multicultural; sin embargo, la comprensión del multiculturalismo apunta a la asimilación en lugar de la integración, y reproduce narrativas de exclusión entre la población extranjera. Este documento evalúa el multiculturalismo de Corea en consonancia con las experiencias de los tra­bajadores filipinos en dicho país, en rela­ción con las políticas multiculturales que el gobierno busca implementar.

The government has sought to culti­vate a favorable international image, despite facing labor shortages resulting from eco­nomic growth in the 1980s and a decline in the working population. This resulted in the implementation of immigration poli­cies such as the Industrial Technical Train­ing Program (ITTP) for low-skilled workers, which was subsequently replaced by the Employment Permit System (EPS) in 2004. The increasing number of foreign residents in South Korea presents a challenge to the country’s cultural integration and social cohesion. Despite efforts to become a multi­cultural society, the understanding of mul­ticulturalism in South Korea emphasizes assimilation over integration, perpetuating narratives of exclusion among the foreign population. This paper evaluates the mul­ticulturalism policies of the South Korean government in light of the experiences of Filipino workers in Korea.application/pdftext/html10.18601/16577558.n41.052346-21321657-7558https://bdigital.uexternado.edu.co/handle/001/25286https://doi.org/10.18601/16577558.n41.05spaFacultad de Finanzas, Gobierno y Relaciones Internacionaleshttps://revistas.uexternado.edu.co/index.php/oasis/article/download/10022/17526https://revistas.uexternado.edu.co/index.php/oasis/article/download/10022/17527Núm. 41 , Año 2025 : Enero-Junio884169OasisAhn, J.
