Popular content on YouTube channels was examined to determine South Koreans’ perceptions of North Korea and North Korean defectors. We also interviewed YNKD YouTubers and classified the types of practices in response to such perceptions. The results indicated that South Korean subscribers prefer content highlighting South Korea’s superiority over North Korea. In response, YNKD YouTubers have produced content that may be characterized as “cultural assimilation,” “conflict and compromise” and “seeking alternatives.” This study found that the decisive factor that distinguishes these three response types is the pursuit of public interest, i.e., aiming to change South Koreans’ perception of North Korean defectors. Inner conflicts over financial benefits limit YNKDs’ practice and impede their move towards solidarity-based collective action. The findings suggest that YNKD YouTubers who want to change mainstream society’s perceptions can contribute to unification by producing authentic and creative content about North Korea.","PeriodicalId":46248,"journal":{"name":"Asian and Pacific Migration Journal","volume":"502 1","pages":"263 - 283"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90470064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During employment, migrant fishers face the constant threat of food shortages on the high seas, lack of drinking water, unpaid salaries, long working hours and other human and labor rights abuses. The fishers’ journey often ends with unilateral contract termination and forced deportation. This paper argues that the opportunity for the migrant fishers to improve their working conditions depends on the social networks and connection to people or non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that could offer know-how and resources to advocate for their rights. Focusing on the networking between Stella Maris International Seafarers’ Center in Kaohsiung (also known as Stella Maris Kaohsiung or SMK) and migrant-led organizations in Taiwan, this research note proposes the notion of “port infrastructure” to refer to networked support organization, promotes the rights of fishers, and the improvement of their living and working conditions.","PeriodicalId":46248,"journal":{"name":"Asian and Pacific Migration Journal","volume":"31 1","pages":"371 - 383"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81401546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas most research on international migration governance has focused on governance system outputs, this paper adopts an actor-centered perspective to investigate how actors narratively construct labor migration dynamics in Malaysia and how they conceptualize the drivers and impacts of labor migration policies and practices. The empirical material comes from 41 in-depth interviews with government officials, policymakers, international and regional organizations, nongovernmental organizations, employers' organizations, trade unions, and embassy representatives. The study found that Malaysia's migration governance system was perceived as \"chaotic\" due to the seemingly inconsistent, unclear \"ad hoc\" policy measures implemented, and that the governance system is perceived as \"corrupt.\" Economic incentives were also seen as the primary driver of labor immigration, yet the main impact on Malaysian society was perceived as the spread of criminality, violence and disease, a narrative centered on migrant men. This paper argues that this discourse is problematic as it may drive types of policy measures that target migrant men.</p>","PeriodicalId":46248,"journal":{"name":"Asian and Pacific Migration Journal","volume":"32 2","pages":"208-233"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/69/69/10.1177_01171968231189139.PMC10516739.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41153091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on data collected from 106 Sri Lankan migrant workers, the study found that both internal and external religious coping styles significantly mediated acculturative stress and life satisfaction, with the external style affecting life satisfaction more significantly than the internal one. Religious coping styles were significantly and positively correlated with life satisfaction, which could help reduce acculturative stress. Factors, including age, gender, marital status, religious visits and working hours contribute to understanding the role that religious coping mechanisms play in the lives of migrant workers. Accordingly, the study suggests supporting religious communities and activities of migrants, and upgrading the social, cultural and educational services they receive, as well as the policies of the Korean government directed toward them.","PeriodicalId":46248,"journal":{"name":"Asian and Pacific Migration Journal","volume":"38 1","pages":"314 - 335"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85704117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
