- At the state-run Seoul Nursing Home, the waiting list exceeds capacity while beds remain empty because caregivers are unavailable.
- Kim Dong-seon’s study interviewed 13 stakeholders; a cited survey found 69.8 percent rated foreign caregivers’ services higher.
- Seoul established E-7-2 pathways in 2024 and 2025; a pilot is scheduled to launch specialized programs at 24 universities in 2026.
- Korea’s care aide qualification requires 340 training hours but offers little structured career progression, even for long-serving workers.
