The Center for Transnational Migration and Social Inclusion (CTMS) is hosting the 2024 International Care Conference on “Korea's Demographic Crisis and Care Economy: Gender, Migration, Digital, and Community” on September 9-10, 2024, at the Graduate School of International Studies, Seoul National University.
Korea’s demographic crisis and the resulting care crisis present urgent challenges that require immediate attention. Since 2019, CTMS has been at the forefront of global discussions on these issues, and this year marks our fifth anniversary. To celebrate this milestone, we are bringing together world-leading experts to examine and propose policy solutions for the latest global care challenges, with a focus on gender, migration, community, and digital technology.
This year’s conference will feature esteemed international experts, including Dr. Elizabeth M. King, former World Bank Vice President and Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, USA; Professor Ito Peng from the University of Toronto, a world-renowned authority on migration and care; Dr. Marina Durano, Senior Adviser on Care Economy and Partnership Engagement at UNI Global Union, an expert on global feminist economics; and Professor Maria Floro, Professor Emerita of Economics at American University, a leading expert on care economy.
In addition to academia, the conference will engage a diverse range of participants, including local communities, the medical field, and businesses, all coming together to explore the future of care. Notable contributors include the Mapo Saebom Health Care Center, which is pioneering a community-based care network, Yonsei University’s Wonju College of Preventive Medicine, and the digital healthcare company Huray Positive.
The first day of the conference, September 9, will be a private session focused on regional research on the care economy in Asia. The second day, September 10, is open to everyone interested in the conference's topics. You can pre-register to participate either in person or online.
This event is co-hosted by CTMS, Center for Global Social Policy (CGSP), Yonsei University Lifelong Health Management Center, and Saebom Health Care Center and sponsored by Open Society Foundations (OSF) and Huray Positive.
