초록

Because of cultural similarity and geographical proximity, human and material exchanges have been actively conducted between the Korean Peninsula and the Chinese continent since ancient times. During the modern era, these exchanges between the two regions were further expanded due to changes in international relations, the arrangement of transportation routes, and the development of industries. However, exchanges between the Korean Peninsula and the Chinese continent during the modern era were not limited to the expansion of its scale. In the case of Chinese migrant workers(华工), the subject of this study, there was a big difference in the purpose and nature of migration compared to before modern times. The migration of these Chinese workers, which was carried out for economic purposes, began in the late 19th century. They provided necessary labor to Japan and the Korean, where demand for labor was soaring after World War I. This migration of Chinese workers to colonial Joseon left a clear historical mark on both the Korean Peninsula and the Chinese continent.
As the rapidly increasing Chinese population in the 1920s, research on them has also been actively conducted at that time. In particular, their population size and characteristics of migration have been analyzed in several studies. Most of these studies estimate the population of Chinese people using ‘The Statistical Yearbook of the Japanese Government-General of Korea(朝鲜总督府统计年报)’, which is the basic data for Japanese colonial rule. However, ‘the statistical yearbook’ was inappropriate to estimate the population of highly mobile Chinese, especially Chinese workers who accounted for the majority of migrants at that time, due to problems with the survey method and survey timing. Therefore, in this study, ‘The national census(国势调查)’ conducted under the concept of the census from 1925 was discovered and demographics of the Chinese population were conducted.
This analysis of population data is meaningful as basic data that is important not only for understanding the Chinese migration, but also for the analysis of migration routes and the results of migration. In future studies, plan to conduct a comprehensive analysis of East Asian labor migration in the 1920s using these population data.
