현재 일본 내에 거주하고 있는 외국인 중 재일 한국인/조선인(이하, 재일코리안)이 제일 많은 부분을 차지하고 있다. 재일 코리안 중 65세 이상이 13%가 넘는다(재일고령자 조사위원회, 2003). 이런 재일한국인/조선인의 고령자(이하, 재일코리안 1세라고 말함)는 대부분 식민지시대에 조국에서의 생활기반을 잃어버리고 일본에 건너오게 되거나 혹은 강제연행으로 인해 일본에 거주하게 되었다. 재일코리안 1세는 연령적으로는 후기 고령자이며, 문화의 차이, 언어적 문제 그리고 경제적인 문제 등의 어려움이 있다. 이런 많은 어려운 점 중에서도 특히 개호의 문제(노인수발 문제)는 가장 심각하다. 이런 문제들 중 먼저 역사적인 경위에 대해 선행연구 등을 통해 논해 보고자 한다. 또한 문화적 차이와 언어적 문제가 개호보험 서비스 이용에 있어서 장애가 될 가능성도 있을 수 있으며, 대다수가 무연금자인 점(길영(吉永), 2004), 개호보험과 재일코리안 1세의 경제적인 요인이 심각한 문제인 점인것(북촌(北村), 2004)을 말하고 있다. 이를 배경으로, 후꾸오까/나가사키 지역의 재일동포 1세에게 직접 설문조사를 실시했다. 조사 결과 재일코리안 1세는 일본의 고령자보다 훨씬 개호보험 서비스 이용에 소외될 가능성을 가지고 있었다. 재일코리안 1세의 개호의 문제는 한국에서가 아니라, 거주하고 있는 일본에서 해결되어 져야만 하는 문제이며 그 개선책 또한 논하였으며 향후의 방향성에 대해서도 고찰해 보았다.

Finally, Korean emmigrants in United States and Japan contributed to the revitalization of inner city areas.

Data for this study came from a survey on language use of Korean residents in Japan which was conducted in 2016, and questionnaire items referred to language attitude, language use and the degree of understanding language; language use; language learning and Korean ethnic identity. The main results are as follows. First, there were significant differences in Korean language proficiency depending on age, education levels and generation. Second, the control for socio-demographic characteristics, the influence of attitudes towards Korean language on Korean proficiency was statistically significant. However, Korean proficiency was not significantly influenced by motivational intensity. Lastly, moderated effects of immigrant generation in the relation between Korean language attitudes and Korean proficiency were significant. Therefore, the effect of Korean language attitudes on Korean proficiency was more influential on second and third generation Korean-Japanese learners than first generation Korean-Japanese learners. Based on these results, this study suggests that in order to promote Korean language education for Korean residents in Japan, it is required to build positive attitudes toward Korean language, and to consider immigrant generation as a major factor.
