概要

論文の詳細を見る
This paper culls the highlights of Filipino interviewees’ experiences, comments, and suggestions about their own participation in this new Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) program which brings together the Filipino nurses, caregivers and the Japanese elderly within the context of Japanese hospitals and caregiving institutions. Although limited by the small sample size, the interview results can serve as initial assessment of the EPA program and can also be used as baseline information for more comprehensive future research and policy. The inclusion of the movement of health and care providers within the EPA is also worth analyzing, especially in terms of its implication for care which has gone beyond homes and households, for the care providers and recipients, for gender, as well as for the participating governments and their respective societies.
