Abstract

In the last three years, during the COVID-19 pandemic shocks, the discussion for economic recovery and global health development agenda prevailed. To date, the discussion has shifted from recovery to more extensive moves such as strengthen the current global health architecture. Specifically, prepare for the next pandemic and reduce potential risks. Countries around the world are interested in this topic and the Group of Twenty (G20), the premier economic forum summit, also focuses on this issue. This kind of "global crisis responder” experience drives the interesting discussion, how did the COVID-19 crisis respond by the G20? Answering this question, during Indonesia's G20 Presidency, the Pandemic Fund was formally introduced in collaboration with the Pandemic Fund secretariat, marked by a significant event during the G20 Joint Finance and Health Ministers' Meeting. The rationale behind establishing this fund arose from the challenges faced by low and middle-income nations in securing adequate funding for their healthcare systems amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Depart from that, this significant achievement of the pandemic fund launching raises questions, why Indonesia has an agenda for Pandemic Fund during its presidency? This paper aims to answer this question with the framework of global health diplomacy.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the migration policies and migrant care in the context of relations between ASEAN Member States (AMS) and Korea. As Korea is dealing with an aging population, an increase in female labour force participation, and an ultra low fertility rate, caregiving, especially for the elderly, has become a pivotal issue. Besides, the traditional nuclear family structure, which has historically served as the primary caregiver for the elderly, is also losing its prominence. In such demographic shift, migrant care workers from AMS are filling the demand for caregiving in Korea, leading to a cross-border international migration from AMS to Korea. Departing from this context, this article seeks to address two main questions: How is the condition of migrant care workers from SEA in Korea and how is the current migration regulation regarding this migrant care activities? How can ASEAN and Korea collaborate to advance migration policies and enhance migrant care within the framework of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, ensuring the protection and well-being of migrants? The study found that although migrant care workers from AMS could be the supply for the lack of caregiver in Korea, they do not receive wages commensurate with the intensity of their labour. Moreover, caregiving practice is part of the secondary labour market, as described by the dual labour market theory. As Korea continues to grapple with demographic and economic challenges, the role of migrants in the care sector will remain a vital component of its social and policy landscape. Promoting a comprehensive strategic partnership between ASEAN member states and Korea for decent work is essential to ensuring a fair and sustainable care economy.
