한국의 福祉政策에 나타난 效率ㆍ衡平觀 = A View on Efficiency and Equity Revealed in Korea's Welfare Policies

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Welfare Policies are closely related and influenced by social values on which a society is built up.
The current study first explores the relationship between welfare policies and efficiency-equity, and then seeks to find the view on efficiency and equity revealed in Korea's welfare policies.
Without analyzing social values preferred by a specific society, it is hard to make any welfare policy effective and also hard to achieve the fundamental goals of the welfare policy.
Chapter 1 explains purposed and boundaries, chapter 2 explores the relationships between social welfare policies and efficiency-equity. Most of all, this study focuses on competing social values, all of which are important in making welfare policies.
Chapter 3 discusses social values-economic efficiency versus social equity-with regard to welfare policies.
A literature review of the trade-offs among competing values is presented.
Chapter 4 empirically analyzed the trade-offs between efficiency and equity found in a variety of Korean welfare policies, Chapter 5 summarizes the characteristics of Korean welfare policies.
This study reveals that the level of welfare in Korea not anly falls behind that of developed countries but also does behind the welfare in the countries whose economic environments are similar to those in Korea.
This might be a result of Korean national policies which have been putting more weights on the economic development policies than on the welfare policies.
In other word, it is resulted from the fact that Korean government puts more values on economic efficiency than on social equity.
