Abstract

labor policy among the long-term care insurance policies for the elderly in Germany, Japan, and Korea. To this end, previous studies examined changes in the policy environment and the framework of policy calculation in the global historical trend of elderly care policies in countries that first experienced an aging society. As a result, various policies appeared from country to country between tax-based care and social insurance-based care. Germany and Japan, which first chose the same route as Korea, advanced the professionalism of care workers, while dualizing them into auxiliary workers at the level of daily care. Strengthening the professionalism of elderly care workers is a must-achieve goal in the long run, but it can be seen that various real conditions have also been linked to an important part of the elderly care labor policy. Based on this study, suggestions were included at the level of policy, education, and medical care institutions. First, at the policy level, the minimum line should be maintained in the professionalism of caregivers. Second, at the educational level, it is necessary not only to deliver knowledge and skills, but also to build the pride of care workers. Third, even if it is not a salary, at the medical care institution level, if expertise is developed and awareness is raised through self-education and the possibility of promotion, the effect of long-term tenure can be seen.
