Korean-Americans

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the Korean population in the United States, one of the fastest growing Asian subgroups in the country. The paper discusses the demographics of this growing segment of society, noting, in particular, how it differs from other Asian subgroups in the United States.

From the Paper:

"Duong, Han, Kim and Kim (2002) contend that the Korean population in the United States is the largest growing Asian subgroup (p. 109). This is especially true in urban areas where the Korean population has increased by 125% over the last two decades. Furthermore, the Korean population in the United States comprises a total of 11% of the Asian population in the country (Duong, Han, Kin & Kim, 2002, p. 109). Although most Americans have a tendency to link all Asian cultures as one group within society, each Asian sub-population is unique in its language and cultural intricacies. Additionally, different segments of Korean communities within the country may be comprised of heavy immigrant populations, American born populations or a mix of both populations (Duong, Han, Kin & Kim, 2002, p. 109)."
