Summary:碩士 === 亞洲大學 === 健康產業管理學系長期照護組碩士在職專班 === 107 === Abstract The long-term care service targets mainly the elderly population and the disabled population, while the elderly population is mostly accompanied by disability. The proportion of the elderly population over the age of 65 from a country to the total population can be judged by the country's demand for long-term care. Japan, South Korea and Taiwan in Asia, the proportion of the elderly population in the total population reached 28%, 14% and 13.9% in 2017, respectively. It is already a hyper-aged society or an aged society. . It is obvious that the three countries have the same great demand for long-term care, and they also face the problem of long-term care for manpower. Long-term care is mainly provided by people. Adequate and stable manpower is highly relevant for the care of long-term care, the quality of care, the hospitalization rate and mortality rate of care recipients, the improvement of long-term care organization performance and the reduction of operating costs. Method: This research adopts the research methods discussed in the literature. The literature collection uses the "Hua Yi Online Library, Airiti Library", and selects the keywords "Certified Care Worker", "요양보호자" and "Caring Staff Manpower" to search for relevant literature. The road literature section uses "Google" to "visit the caregiver, care staff, certified care worker ", "NHIC", "요양보호자", "Long-Term Care, OECD", "Long-Term Care, WHO", etc. Search for keywords. The government's statistics are based on data published by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the National Development Committee and the Ministry of Labor. After the literature collection is completed, it will be discussed, compared and analyzed. Conclusion: The long-term care of the three countries in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, whether from the source of human resources in the country or the source of foreign human resources, can be seen to adopt a more relaxed policy for the country's human resources to increase the source of human resources. For foreign sources of human resources, stricter regulations, including those who must obtain a visa or work visa, must be trained in core and internship courses for a certain period of time before they can engage in long-term care. In the three countries, the manpower required for long-term care must pass the national examination, obtain a technician certificate or complete a certain number of core and internship courses before they can engage in long-term care services. Due to the low salary, long working hours and low social status, the long-term care service manpower is low and the willingness to work is not good. In order to improve these problems, the three governments have adopted measures such as increasing wages and benefits, improving the working environment and the image of their work, human resources planning and certification, and modifying the foreign transfer visa method, with the aim of solving the problem of insufficient long-term care for manpower. But so far, there is still no way to properly solve the problem of long-term care for the manpower in the three countries.
