Abstract

Confronting rapid population ageing, Japanese government proposes various types of regional comprehensive care programs for elderly people. In particular, the Japanese government and local governments are making efforts to ensuring long-term care workforce. Among others, the government is pursuing measures to secure specialized manpower in various ways 1) Construction of infrastructure, 2) Loan system for long-term care worker, 3) Inflow of long-term care staff for foreign students, etc. Also, universities have trained numerous community care specialists through research centers for health care, social welfare, and specialized education. Korea is also expected to explode the demand for long-term care worker at the rapid rate of aging, and it is necessary to actively discuss measures to cope with it.

초고령사회에 진입한 일본은 의료 및 복지에 대한 수요증가에 대응하기 위해서 정부의 다양한 정책적 방안들이 논의되고 있다. 특히 개호인력 확보 및 인력양성을 위해 일본정부와 지자체가 1) 인프라 구축, 2) 개호복지사 수학자금 등 대출제도, 3)외국인 유학생 개호인력유입 등 다양한 방면으로 전문 인력 확보 대책을 추진하고 있다. 또한, 교육기관인 대학에서도 커뮤니티케어 교육연구센터를 설립하여 의료, 복지, 교육에 관한 전문인재 육성의 질적 향상을 도모하고, 직업교육을 통해 개호전문인력을 지속적으로 육성하고 있다. 한국도 급속한 고령화와 의료기술의 진보 등 보건의료를 둘러싼 환경이 크게 변화하면서 고령자에 대한 개호 수요가 증가할 것으로 전망되고 있다. 개호요구의 급증에 비해 노동 인구의 감소로 심각한 인력부족을 겪고 있는 일본의 선 경험에 비추어 보건인력 확보에 대한 정책방안의 논의가 이루어져 할 것이다.
