The purpose of this study is to analyze basic social values of the Self-Sufficiency Promotion Project, one of the outstanding Anti-Poverty Policies in Korea. For that purpose, this study firstly classified the object as well as contents of the project according to the frame work of policy analysis made by Gilbert, N. and H. Specht. Secondly, this study analyzed those spheres of the project according to the ideologic framework restructured by this researcher on the basis of ideologic typologies regarding to welfare states presented by Gilbert, N. and P. Terrell, Esping-Andersen, and George, V. and P. Wilding. The result of this study shows that each sphere of the project reflects such diverse ideologies as individualism, reluctant collectivism, and positive collectivism because of the object of the project, which is mixed up with several dual-meaning concepts such as conditional recipients and quasi-poor class recipients, self-support, self-sufficiency, and rehabilitation, and so on. In spite of those findings, the result of this study shows a common tendency that reluctant collectivism, transferring roles of the government to the third sectors, is getting more outstanding than other ideologies in each sphere of the project, for the purpose of efficient management.
