Summary

The key to approaching research on the utilization of foreign manpower in the labor market for care work lies in identifying the current status of foreign manpower utilization in the caregiving services market, determining whether there is a demand for foreign manpower, and examining the causes of such demand. Previous studies have shown interest in investigating these issues, which remain unsolved. This is primarily due to the difficulty in accessing data and presenting compelling arguments for the necessity of foreign manpower in the caregiving industry. In other words, proper research on the labor market in this field, which involves a significant percentage of the informal sector, has not been adequately conducted.

Furthermore, there is a crucial discussion overlooked in existing research. As all are aware, ethnic Koreans with foreign nationalities are already allowed to work in the caregiving industry. Nevertheless, what is the core argument of the discussion on opening doors to foreign manpower beyond ethnic Koreans with foreign nationalities at the present moment? This can be seen as closely related to service pricing and service delivery methods. (For the full text of the English summary, please download the “Download 2 English_Abstract”.)
