Filipino caregivers come to Korea amid deepening demographic crisis

Quick Summary:

Some 100 certified caregivers from the Philippines will come to South Korea in August to work as domestic helpers in a country struggling with the world’s lowest birth rate, a fast-shrinking workforce and a rapidly aging population.

They will be given training on the Korean language and culture for 45 hours before leaving the Philippines and be placed on a four-week course in Korea on work safety, prevention of sexual harassment and other tips on life in Korea.

The Ministry of Justice separately said it is considering a pilot program under which Korean households can hire foreign residents in Korea as domestic helpers.
