The Institute for International Urban Development (IIUD) has published a new issue brief examining the housing welfare entitlements of marriage migrants in Korea. While they are often assumed to benefit equally from public housing due to their Korean spouses, shifting household structures—such as divorce, separation, or remarriage—reveal critical gaps in the current system.

This brief analyzes the legal status of marriage migrants’ access to housing benefits, highlights key policy blind spots, and offers suggestions for improvement, referencing international practices and changing demographic trends.
