Abstract

This article examines the existing literature on the intersection of care and migration in Europe and the potential contributions of the Korean case. The paper reviews the three bodies of research: care, migration and their intersections. When defined as social reproductive labour, the concept of care not only captures individual/family level of experiences but it can also be an effective tool to analyse the diversity of the welfare state and the path of its evolution. Furthermore, in the context of globalisation and international migration, the concept of care can help overcome so-called 'the methodological nationalism' in the welfare state research. Accumulated evidence shows that only by applying a transnational perspective to the relationship between such social realities as class, gender and race, can we properly examine the dynamics of care distribution. Existing care-migration nexus research has found a widely observed trend of the 'migrantisation of care' in European welfare states; however, the actual modality of care-migration intersection varies reflecting historical and institutional contexts. This is why care-migration nexus research must go beyond the well-known welfare regime types. The Korean case can expand the geographical coverage and theoretical applicability of the intersection research by including a new welfare state regime type (productivist or developmental welfare states) and new patterns of migration (co-ethnic migration and marriage migration) which were rarely dealt with in this scholarship.

본 연구는 케어와 이민의 관련성에 관해 서구에서 이루어진 기존 연구들을 검토하고, 한국의 경험이 이러한 연구 성과들에 어떻게 기여할 수 있을지 탐색하려는 연구이다. 이 논문은 케어, 이민 그리고 그 둘의 결합, 이렇게 세 영역의 선행연구들을 검토했다. 케어는 다면적 개념이며 따라서 다양한 접근방법이 가능하다. 특히 케어를 사회적 재생산 노동으로 정의할 때, 케어는 개인과 가족 차원을 넘어 복지국가의 다양성과 진화의 경로를 분석하는 도구로 사용될 수 있다. 더 나아가 세계화와 국제이민의 맥락에서 케어 개념은 복지국가와 사회정책 연구에 있어 방법론적 국가주의를 극복할 수 있는 대안이 될 수 있다. 그간 축적된 증거들은 계급, 젠더 그리고 인종 등과 같은 사회적 실체들의 관계에 대해 초국가적 관점을 적용함으로써만 케어의 사회적 분배 역학을 제대로 파악할 수 있음을 보여준다. 또한 케어와 이민의 관계에 관한 기존의 연구들은 유럽 복지국가들에서 케어의 이민자화 경향의 광범위한 수렴을 발견했지만, 케어와 이민이 결합하는 구체적 방식은 제도적, 역사적 맥락을 반영하여 다양화될 수 있다는 것을 보여주었다. 케어-이민 결합 연구가 널리 알려진 복지국가(레짐)들의 사례들을 넘어서야 할 필요성이 바로 여기에 있다. 한국의 사례는 새로운 복지국가레짐 유형(소위 생산적/발전주의 복지국가)과 이민레짐 유형(동포이민과 결혼이민)을 기존의 케어-이민의 결합 연구에 포함시킴으로써, 이 연구의 지리적, 이론적 적용범위를 확대하는 데 기여를 할 수 있을 것이다.
