Abstract
This study adopted a person-centered approach using latent class analysis to construct typologies of public service use among 2,455 migrant women, examining migrant women’s distinct socio-demographic characteristics and whether there are differences according to their patterns of service use. Data were drawn from the National Survey on Multi-Cultural Families in 2018. Five classes were identified and were labeled Active Use in Individual Empowerment Service (10.4%), Active Use in All Services (6.7%), Passive Use in All Services (51.2%), Active Use in Child Related Services (13.3%), and Active Use in Early Adaptation Support Services (18.3%). The patterns of public service use differed depending on the socio-demographic characteristics of migrant women such as age, place of residence, employment status, presence of children under age five, household income, marriage duration, and residency period. The results suggest that service delivery agencies should provide customized services in consideration of the characteristics of service users in the future.
