2018 Care Work in South Korea Survey

The 2018 Care Work in South Korea Survey was collected as a part of the Care Work and the Economy (CWE-GAM) project to enhance the understanding of the nature and value of care work. The survey was developed to provide a comprehensive picture of care work in South Korea and includes detailed information on paid/unpaid caregivers and care recipients. For paid care workers, 300 eldercare workers and 300 childcare workers were interviewed (purposive sample). For unpaid caregivers, a nationally representative sample of 501 households that provide care for a frail elderly person aged 65 and older, and 500 households that provide care for children aged under 10 years old were included. This survey is a unique and valuable contribution as it contains common questions for all four categories of caregivers (paid/unpaid childcare, paid/unpaid eldercare), which enables us to explore the nature of care work in a more comprehensive way.
