돌봄 기술 도입의 사회경제적⋅제도적 배경: 일본과 싱가포르 노인 돌봄을 중심으로 = Socioeconomic and Institutional Context of Care-related Technology Adoption: Focusing on Elderly Care in Japan and Singapore

국문 초록 (Abstract)

전 세계 노인 인구가 기하급수적으로 증가하고 노인 돌봄에 대한 수요가 날로 증가하면서 이에 대한 해결책으로서 돌봄 관련 기술이 각광을 받고 있다. 돌봄 분야의 소프트웨어와 로봇, 인공지능은 인구 고령화와 관련된 사회경제적 문제에 효과적이고 효율적으로 대처할 잠재력이 있다고 기대된다. 돌봄 기술의 도입과 영향은 사회경제적, 제도적 배경에 의존한다. 특히 국가가 개발하고 활성화하는 돌봄 기술이 돌봄이 조직되는 사회적 관계와 돌봄제공자의 근로 환경에 미치는 영향에 주목할 필요가 있다. 일본과 싱가포르는 한국과 마찬가지로 고령화 심화, 재정부담 완화, 시장 확대와 성장 동력, 1인 독거 노인의 자립 생활 욕구 지원, 비공식 돌봄 노동 부담 완화 수요 등의 배경에서 노인 돌봄 분야에서 기술 혁신을 추진했다. 본 연구는 돌봄 기술에서 앞서 나가고 있는 일본과 싱가포르의 돌봄 기술 현황과 활용의 사회경제적, 제도적 맥락을 살펴보고 한국의 돌봄에 갖는 시사점을 도출했다.

With the exponential growth of the global elderly population and the ever-increasing demand for elderly care, care-related technologies are gaining traction as a solution. Software, robotics, and artificial intelligence in the care sector have the potential to effectively and efficiently address the socioeconomic challenges associated with an aging population. The adoption and impact of care technologies must be assessed in the socioeconomic and policy context. In particular, it is worth noting the impact of state-developed and enabled care technologies on the social relations through which care is organized and the working conditions of care providers. Japan and Singapore, like South Korea, have promoted technological innovation in elderly care against a backdrop of aging populations, fiscal consolidation, market expansion and growth drivers, support for the desire of older adults living alone to live independently, and demand to ease the labor burden of informal care. This study examines the current status of care technology in Japan and Singapore, which are leading the way in care technology, and the socioeconomic and institutional context of its utilization, and draws implications for care in Korea.
