Asia Times Online - May 4, 2012. "Garibong district was once one of Seoul's main industrial areas and a driving force behind the country's stunning 20th-century economic growth. Nowadays, most of the South Koreans who used to work in the area's shops and factories have moved on and migrants from elsewhere in Asia have moved in. Many of them are ethnic Koreans from China who come to South Korea seeking economic opportunity. There is believed to be a large population of illegal workers in the area and this is expected to balloon this year.
Visas for more than 70,000 ethnic Koreans from China (known locally as Joseonjok) will expire in 2012 and aren't eligible for renewal. Many of them come from the Korean Autonomous Prefecture in China to seek work in South Korea. "

This project evaluation report reviews tools and activities piloted to build the capacity of foster carers to look after Albanian, Vietnamese and other unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in the United Kingdom who are identified – or potential – victims of human trafficking and modern slavery. These include tools to inform young people about foster care in their own language, thereby reducing their vulnerability to going missing from care and being trafficked.

The research community has thus far given the topic of policy and institutional coherence for migration and development (PICMD) little attention. Responding to this gap, this paper aims to provide a conceptual framework for PICMD. Beginning with a broad overview of policy coherence for development (PCD) and its evolution since the 1990s, this paper proposes a three-part working definition of PICMD. It defines policies coherent for migration and development as those that (1) pursue synergies to advance shared objectives, (2) actively seek to minimize the negative side effects of policies, and (3) prevent policies from undermining each other or the achievement of agreed-upon development goals
