The aspects of current poverty designated as "new poverty" has not been simply restricted as inequality of income, such as "extreme poverty" which could not be survived in society. But new poverty would be realized as a state of lethargy, a degree of social exclusion, lack of capacity and danger exposure in multidimensional ways. Therefore, the research of new poverty is also supposed to be diversified in corresponding approach to above mentioned. In this respect, this paper intends to firstly examine current situation in economical globalization represented as neo-liberalism has strengthened the inequality between the nations, and inner-parts of nation. Secondly, inquiring the system of inequality in South korean agriculture, too. Specifically, I will focus on the subject of cultural, contextual inequality restricted as migrant women workers in South korean agricultural business, whose poor lives would be brought light into multidimensional element of new poverty.While most of researches on poverty of South korea have gone for centering on income, house holder, city-oriented issues until now, this paper would adhere to the global trend of "feminization of poverty", and then calling on the 'migrant women workers', which did not even seem to put the issue of "feminization of poverty. Ultimately, this paper is provided an opportunity for critical reflection on the aspect of the poor lives of migrant women workers on the behalf of the 'poverty in poverty'.
