Abstract

The article focuses on the problems related to "goose families," in Korea, which refers to the families who send their children abroad for better education. Parents send their children abroad for better and quality education. This results in separation of families. Due to this, children become lonely and have problem in adapting to the new environment of the foreign country, and this has a negative impact on their studies. The stress of separation from children results in health problems with the "goose family" fathers. Thus, families must consider the problems related to family separation before sending their children abroad. Sending children abroad doesn't necessary mean a good career, because children also need parental love and care.
