Description
This book is the first of its kind to discover the first Korean immigrant in Australia and systematically analyse causes of Korean youth migration to Australia since the late 19th century. It offers a comprehensive history of 150 years’ people-to-people relations,long before the establishment of official bilateral relations between Australia and South Korea in 1961. It does so by categorically analysing politico-economic factors of youth migration from the seven pillars of human security perspective. Each chapter begins with an individual story of youth migration to Australia from 1876 until today. They include a shearer and miner in Gol Gol, an international student in Melbourne, a former mascot boy for Australian soldiers, and holiday makers in Warrnambool. The volume provides stimulating content for researchers in youth labour migration history, Asian/Australian Studies and people-centric international relations.
