Modernizing the Korean Welfare State analyzes recent developments in social and public policy in South Korea. Its focus is the new approach to Korea's system of social protection, known as the productive welfare paradigm. This volume brings together an international group of scholars to examine the new paradigm and associated policy developments. In the first part, contributors examine the significance of the productive welfare paradigm and recent policy developments within a broader comparative and international perspective. They question the commitment to welfare in the paradigm, viewing it largely as an example of a global trend towards the "enabling state" in which social welfare serves largely economic goals. Other contributors situate the new paradigm in relation to globalization and its implications for national strategies of social protection developed in earlier times. The new departure in Korea is compared to European welfare state development, and contributors find it a bold attempt to fashion a comprehensive welfare state based on social rights. In the second part, contributors focus on specific issues and policy areas. These include the degree to which Korea has been following a "pro-poor" growth policy. They evaluate developments in the area of unemployment and work injury insurance. They review the progress of policies in the area of social insurance and assistance, and the American system of income support for low income earners and its lessons for Korean policymakers. Other contributors review the public pensions system in Korea, and environmental protection policies are discussed and the impact of those policies on the poor and people of color, who are disproportionately exposed to environmental hazards.

Download Challenges of Modernization and Governance in South Korea Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Focusing on the sinking of the Sewol, a commercial ferry which capsized off the South Korean coast in April 2014, this book considers key issues of disaster, governance, civil society and the ideational transformation of human agents and their empowerment. Providing a lens through which to re-examine South Korean institutions, laws and practices, the volume examines the impact of the Sewol incident and what it reveals about the fault lines of South Korean society and governance. It addresses the repercussions of South Korea’s turn to a liberal democracy and neoliberal economy and reflects on the multilayered implications of the disaster in respect to the potential human costs of the country’s state-driven development policy and high stress modernisation. The book also highlights the relevance of the Korean experience for other societies on a similar developmental trajectories and facing similar challenges.

Through the analysis of institutional dynamics, Huck-Ju Kwon argues that social policy development in Korea is not due to common exogenous factors such as international or union pressure but to the desire of the weakly-legitimated government to have itself legitimized. Such political rationale is deeply embedded in the structure of social policy institutions and particularly in the way that the state has played a part in financing social welfare programs. This book shows that the role of the Korean state is characterized as essentially that of regulator-type rather than provider.

"This book examines the evolution of Korean social welfare policy over the last two decades through the conceptual lens of the "Social Investment State" and the special challenges posed from this perspective, particularly in a rapidly aging society. Since the 1990s many of the modern welfare states have experienced a wave of policy reforms seeking to promote labor force participation, human capital, individual responsibility and economic development, while advancing the private delivery of social protection. These reforms were introduced to check the mounting costs of social spending, which between 1960 and 2009 had climbed from an average of 13% -to-almost 30% of the GDP in the developed welfare states of the OEDC countries. The reforms were also triggered by the need to adapt to the competitive demands of markets in the global economy of the 21st century amidst growing concerns that modern welfare states were undermining the work ethic"--
