Chapter Chapter 5 in Human Resource Development in South Korea, 2020, pp 83-100 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter aims to examine how human resource development (HRD) functions for North Korean defectors (NKDs) in South Korean society using an integrative literature review. While we analyze existing studies and technical reports regarding NKDs, we focus on investigating: (a) “how” HRD policies and practices have managed to address the changes of the NKD population and, (b) “what” it needs to do to provide a better HRD for NKDs. The chapter consists of three overarching sections, including several subsections: (a) overview of NKDs, (b) education and development for NKDs, and (c) the future of HRD for NKDs. The contributions of our chapter are highlighted not only by providing a comprehensive overview of the trajectory of HRD for NKDs but also by suggesting useful implications regarding HRD policies and practices for NKDs in South Korea.
