Abstract

Korea has experienced a rapid increase in demand for care due to its aging population at an unprecedented pace. However, it is not able to adequately respond to the rapidly increasing demand and needs of the elderly due to its facilities, hospital-oriented care systems, and segmental service delivery systems. In response to these challenges, specific programs have been developed to address the increasing number of individuals in need of care. These programs aim to develop a curriculum in universities and establish a network to cultivate professional manpower with the necessary knowledge and skills. Additionally, they seek to establish win-win cooperation between local governments and universities to revitalize the care economy. To achieve this, the latest information on the necessity and problems of integrated care in the community has been extracted using various research methods such as scope-grasping literature review, systematic literature review, and government policy data review, commonly used in the field of social science. This information has been used to develop a regular curriculum model for universities, specialized multi-job-linked education, a practical model of small-scale degree courses, and a strategy for establishing the role and governance of universities and local governments. These initiatives aim to supplement the blind spots in existing care services and provide care services that are suitable for the unique characteristics of the Gwangju area.
