This paper investigates the effect of a shared social identity on social behaviors of a marginalized population by focusing on North Korean refugees in South Korea. The findings of a behavioral experiment with North Korean refugees show that the common Korean identity can promote their integration in South Korea, despite considerable differences caused by seven-decade long separation between the two countries. Perceiving ethnic unity shared with South Koreans stimulates North Koreans' socially desirable behaviors and attitudes such as trust, cooperation, confidence, and life satisfaction in South Korea, as well as their self-confidence about North Korean origin. In addition, the effect of the shared identity is greater for women and better educated persons – the finding that stresses the importance of education and gender-specific policy to accelerate social integration of North Korean refugees.

AbstractThis article empirically investigates whether cultural, genetic, and linguistic similarities between countries explain marriage migration. The empirical evidence supported by marriage migration data from South Korea shows that the bilateral similarities between Korea and spouse‐sending countries are important pull factors of marriage migration. Furthermore, the pull effects vary across different income levels of sending countries and between the genders of marriage migrants. The positive effects of cultural and genetic similarities are mainly driven by female marriage migrants from middle‐ and low‐income countries in Asia. A female deficit in the marital age group in South Korea may contribute to pulling this type of migration into the country.

ObjectivesThe objectives of this article are to review existing indices on anti‐trafficking policy and to propose a way to improve the policy indices.MethodsThe four existing indices—the 3P Index, the GRETA‐based Scorecard, the EuroStat, and the U.S. Tier‐Ranking—were compared regarding their contents, quantification methods, and the coverage of the data. In particular, the validity of the first two indices coded from qualitative information was examined through tests for linear correlation, and the content of the EuroStat was evaluated by multicovariate regression analyses.ResultsEmpirical results show that the evaluation outcomes of the 3P Index and the Scorecard are considerably different, arguably because of the noncomprehensive selection of policy requirments and subjective judgments in interpreting qualitative texts. On the other hand, EuroStat seems to measure the quality of anti‐trafficking policy and therefore these statistics can be used as relevant indicators of policy evaluation.ConclusionThe empirical investigation of this article suggests that integrating textual and statistical information can be a way to improve the quality of an index evaluating anti‐trafficking policy.
