This research examines factors to reproduce care work as a gendered and low-waged labor, analyzing the mechanism to determine care workers" wage in the informal sector. Major findings of the research are as follows: First, care work in both public secotr and informal sector have similar characteristics in terms of wage determination. Nursing workers in the informal sector as well as in the formal sector are required to have a certificate of qualifications for nursing. However, nursing work in the informal sector pay minimum wage, which is accepted as a market wage of care work. Child caring and domestic work pay low because our culture devalues care work done largely by women. This functions to determine wage level of care work in the labor market. The research shows that the major factors to reproduce gendered and low-waged care work are individual and informal wage bargaining, difficulties in measuring care work, and oversupply of care workers consisted of immigrated from foreign countries and unemployed women. The research found that care workers accept their low wage because they value the nature of care work as an interactive emotional labor based on love. In conclusion, this study calls for methods to value care work in our society.
