The international marriages in Korea.

Recently, the number of international marriages are increasing highly in Korea.
According to the presentation given by second group,
thesedays, 10.8% of the entire marriage is international marriages.
It is five times more than five years ago.
I thought this increases situation is natural result.
I thought that nowadays there are so many foreign people in Korea.
And we can be easily seen the people have different races.
So, We live in multicultural society.
Therefore, the man who want to marry with foreign women can get more chances than before.

But it was not true.
The presenters said that international marriages are concentrated in rural areas.
The most of  international marriages are made up of Korean man and foreign woman.
Why does it increases continuously like these form?
They said that because the number of people who live in countryside is decreased rapidly.
So, there are no women have suitable age or terms for marriage.
Accordingly, farmers should find their fiance in other country like Southeast Asia country.
That is the reason that concentration of international marriages in rural areas.
Moreover, one of the serious problem is their divorces.
As international marriages increase, the number of divorce is even more increase.
So, their children will grow in lonely or other problem due to their divorce.
For that reason, Korean government has a several program for multicultural family.
Such as language education, culture education, counselling with expert and so on.
Those will be good solution for some problem.
But in my opinion is that first of all,
the changing our sentiment and eyes about foreign people are the most helpful thing for multicultural family.
