演講大綱:
東亞國家正面臨少子化及高齡化帶來的挑戰。根據統計資料,未來十五年之內,台灣、韓國將有四分之一以上人口是六十五歲以上的老人。當社會依賴人口越來越多,不難想見高齡化以及少子化,對東亞福利國家的健康照護體系帶來了前所未有的嚴峻挑戰。如何提供妥善的照護成為這些國家首要的課題。近年來,東亞國家開始開放招募外籍照護移工來填補國內照護市場的人力缺口。綜觀目前東亞各國現行的外籍照護工政策,無論是來源國、招募方式、工作內容、工作形式以及工作條件都大相逕庭。本演講將探討台灣與韓國外籍照護移工政策差異的成因,以及探索不同的政策途徑對當地多元文化社會所帶來的影響。
Industrialized countries around the world are facing rapid demographic changes, including declining fertility rates, greater longevity, and an aging population, and these are creating unprecedented challenges in care provision. Many East Asian countries have used migrant care workers to solve the challenges of labour shortages in the social welfare sector. This talk explores why East Asian countries have adopted different policy approaches to recruiting migrant care workers. By comparing the migrant care worker policies, I will map out the political mechanisms that determine the levels of rights, labour mobility, and access to membership rights for migrant care workers in Taiwan and South Korea. I argue that migrant care worker policies manifest how care work, citizenship, and gender equality are defined and contested by the receiving society.
