국제개발협력은 오늘날 국제외교와 경제협력의 양측에서 범세계적으로 중요시되는 한편 수출입과 해외직접투자와 깊은 연관을 맺고 있다. 국제사회에서 한국의 기여도 증대와 더불어 개발협력의 중요성도 점증하고 이와 관련 무역관련 학회간 국제교류도 강화되는 실정이다. 이에 국제개발협력도 무역학의 대상으로 학문적 연구가 확산되어야 할 것으로 보인다. 아직까지 의식주와 보건을 중심으로 발전해 온 국제개발협력은 무역 등 서비스분야 고등교육 측면의 활동과 연구는 이제 초기인 바, 이에 실제로 동분야 개발협력을 추진한 실제 경험사례 연구를 통하여 기존의 개발협력 방식에 대한 평가와 향후 발전 방향을 모색해보고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 문헌고찰을 통해서 국제개발협력의 역사와 추이, 그리고 의식주와 보건 등 기초수요 중심의 전통적 개발협력의 평가와 경제개발을 위한 금융보험 등 서비스 분야 고등교육의 개발협력 활용 필요성, 이와 연관된 일반적 인식부족 (긴급성과 역할에 대한 이해 부족, 사례부족, 새로운 혁신 필요성) 등에 대해 살펴본다. 아울러 실제 추진된 라오스 수파누봉대학교의 현지 기초조사 경험과 본 조사 추진을 위한 제안서 작성과 제출, 그리고 평가결과 등의 사례를 보고하고, 이를 통해 향후 보험, 무역, 경제, 경영 등 사회과학 또는 서비스 분야 개발협력을 위한 시사점을 제시한다.

Purposes: The problem in the recent immigration policy and social policy changes for foreigners is that the preliminary analysis or research on the actual impact of the influx of foreigners has not been done enough in Korea yet.. This study is to examine the impact of the Korean health insurance finances on the influx of foreigners. Approach: This study analyzed the health insurance statistics for foreigners and overseas Koreans of the Health Insurance Corporation from 2013 to 2017. The data is the "Status of Health Insurance Premiums for Nationals, Foreigners, and Overseas Koreans from 2013 to 2017" submitted by the National Health Insurance Service to the Health and Welfare Committee during the 2018 National Audit Period. Findings: To summarize the analysis, first, the proportion of foreigners was only 1% of all subscribers (1.7% at work, 1.9% in regions) until 2017. Second, employees at work have a lower pay-to-pay ratio, and local subscribers have a higher pay-to-pay rate, regardless of nationality. Third, as immigrants are mostly concentrated in younger ages, they are healthy and use of hospitals is relatively low. Fourth, in terms of gender distribution, there are many women of childbearing age due to marriage immigration among foreign local subscribers, and more men use hospitals than workers who have a high proportion of males due to childbirth. In conclusion, the impact of immigration on health insurance finances is not large, and has a positive effect on finances. Practical Implications: If we simply consider the financial aspect, encouraging foreigners to subscribe to health insurance has a positive effect on finances. In particular, the more foreign workers are enrolled, the greater the financial gain. In particular, increasing the employment of foreign women through language education, vocational training, and employment support will help finance health insurance. One of the reasons foreign subscribers have a positive impact on health insurance finance is the low medical utilization rate. It can be said that young and healthy foreigners use fewer hospitals and clinics, but another aspect means that foreigners have difficulty using health insurance for various reasons. Therefore, various supports must be accompanied so that foreign subscribers can use medical services when necessary.

Objectives : The coverage of Korean National Health Insurance is limited to basic level. Korean government encourages private health insurance for covering medical securities. So, many studies examined the determinants of purchasing private health insurance. However, 11% of Korean population is older than 65 in 2011. Considering the elderly is important to establish a health policy. The aim of this study is to examine factors determining the purchase of private health insurance among middle-aged and elderly Korean adults. Methods : We used the second Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA), selected 8,688 sample of the aged 47 or older for the analysis. KLoSA collected information on demographic characteristics, income, health- related factors. KLoSA data include in the number of outpatient, inpatient, oriental hospital visit, dental clinic visit for two years. Logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between the determinants of purchasing private health insurance and the factors which include age, gender, education, residential district, marital status, smoking, drinking, physical exercise, economic activity status, national health insurance type, income, the number of chronic disease, and the number of outpatient, inpatient, oriental hospital visit, dental clinic visit for two years. Results : People who were older, did not live in a city, had higher IADL, currently drunk alcohol, did exercise regularly and had chronic diseases more than three were inclined not to purchase private health insurance. Females, the married, well-educated, past & currently smokers, the employed, high income earners, national health insurers, metropolitan citizens and someone who got high MMSE were more likely to purchase private health insurance. The more people experienced outpatients, inpatients, dental clinics and Chinese medicine clinics, the more private health insurance was purchased. The elderly people over 75 had more private health insurance than the aged 65-74. The strongest factors for private health insurance is gender, and economic status such as income. Conclusion : In this study, we found healthy-high income people were more likely to purchase private health insurance. In contrast, unhealthy-low income and older people did not. The economic factors were strongly related with private health insurance in aged over 75. These mean inequality exists in the using private health insurance. Therefore, the government should consider vulnerable social group before expanding private health insurance.

이 연구의 목적은 중증질환자들을 대상으로 민간의료보험 가입자와 미가입자간의 특성을 파악하고, 가입 요인을 분석하기 위함이다. 연구도구는 2015년도 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하였으며, SPSS ver 23.0을 사용하였고, 연구 대상자는 19세 이상 중증질환자(암, 심장질환, 뇌혈관질환) 417명을 선정하였다. 분석방법은 민간의료보험 가입 현황과 차이를 파악하기 위해 교차분석을 실시하였고, 민간의료보험 가입에 미치는 요인을 분석하기 위해 이항 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 사회 인구학적 특성에서는 성별, 거주지, 혼인상태와 관계없이 나이가 젊을수록 높았다. 그리고, 사회 경제적 상태에서는 교육수준과 관계없이 가구소득이 높을수록, 의료급여대상자에 비하여 건강보험대상자의 가입률이 높았다. 건강행태에서는 주관적 건강 인식 및 걷기 실천과 무관하게 활동제한이 있는 집단의 민간의료보험 가입률이 낮았으며, 설명력은 51.7%이었다. 그러므로, 중증질환자 중 민간의료보험에 가입하지 못한 집단을 선별하여 생활환경 개선 및 지방자치단체의 지원을 촉구해야 할 것이다. 또한, 사회적 취약계층 및 건강행태에 제한 있는 집단을 대상으로 중증질환 예방을 위한 정부의 보건교육 또는 프로그램 제공 등 다양한 보건정책을 고려해야 할 것이다.
