Abstract

The Joseonjok (Koreans in China or Chaoxianzu, the same below) people are one of the more populous minority groups in China, with a large proportion of their migrant population. Population migration can improve the economic situation of individuals and families, but it can also have a negative impact on the sustainable development of the Joseonjok people. This paper uses the population mobility survey data of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in Jilin Province to analyze the characteristics of its non-migrant, internal migrant and cross-border migrant populations. The results show that gender, age, marriage and work are the main factors influencing the mobility of the Joseonjok population. The government should make more reasonable ethnic policies according to the needs of the Joseonjok people in accordance with local conditions, promote the economic development of Joseonjok settlements, and maintain social stability in border areas.
