Caregiving workers from around the country share greetings with President Moon Jae-in through a video.

A video conference was held for nursing caregivers across the country and activity caregivers with disabilities, who are unable to leave due to concerns about the gap in care.

President Moon stressed that caregivers are essential workers who perform face-to-face activities while at risk of infection, and that they must receive special protection.

Solidarity workers who attended the meeting complained of an aggravated labor shortage due to Corona 19.

They also emphasized the need to publicize care services given the poor working conditions.

[이경자 / 서울시 사회서비스원 근무 : 저 같은 요양보호사들을 꿈의 일터에서 일하고 있는 요양보호사라고 그렇게 말들을 합니다. 왜냐하면, 민간 기관에서는 시급제이기 때문에 어르신들의 도움 공백이 생겼을 때 월급을 제대로 못 받는 경우가 대부분이죠.]

President Moon promised to strengthen publicity for care services and provide fair compensation.

First, it is a plan to install Social Service Centers, which have been launched as a government task and provide emergency care services in the event of a disaster, in the 17 metropolitan cities and provinces by 2022 in the current eight cities and provinces. .

In the long term, the proportion of regular workers in the care services industry will increase as the social services center expands.

President Moon also called for the cooperation of the National Assembly and said it was necessary for the Social Services Agency to enact related laws.
