All immigrants face a range of challenges, such as language, financial concerns, familial conflicts, and health issues, all while struggling to adapt to an unfamiliar environment. Social networks can play an important role in overcoming such challenges. With an aim to suggesting a policy agenda and directions for a multicultural society, this paper examines the size and type of the social networks of major immigrant groups to South Korea, including migrant workers and marriage-based immigrants, whose numbers are on the rise. Furthermore, it attempts to identify obstacles and contributors to the formation of their social networks.
