Abstract

Over 10,000 South Korean nurses were sent to West Germany in the 11-year period between 1965 and 1976. It is known that they were dispatched because of South Korea’s need for capital and expertise after the Korean War (1950–1953). To assist in this endeavor, West Germany helped South Korea through development support (educational aid). However, Korean nurses were not simply trainees since they had received a proper education and qualifications. Thus, this “educational aid” could critically be termed little more than “labor trade” because the highly educated nurses were forced to take work with lower wages than their background warranted.

发展支持是教育援助还是劳工贸易？西德的韩国护士（1965-1976 年）

1965 年至 1976 年的 11 年间，超过 10 000 名韩国护士被派往西德。众所周知，派遣他们的原因是朝鲜战争（1950-1953 年）后韩国需要资金和专业知识。为了协助这一努力，西德通过发展支持（教育援助）来帮助韩国。然而，韩国护士并不是简单的实习生，因为他们已经接受了适当的教育并获得了相应的资格。因此，这种 "教育援助 "可以批判性地称为 "劳动力交易"，因为受过高等教育的护士被迫从事工资低于其背景要求的工作。
