본 연구는 2008년에 도입된 사회복무제도가 정착 될 수 있도록 하기 위한 개선방안을 모색하고자 한다. 즉, 단순한 인력공급 차원이 아닌, 사회복무요원들의 질 향상을 위한 교육과 사회복지기관에서 사회복무요원에 대한 올바른 활용이 전제되어야 한다. 이에 사회복지기관 담당자(사회복지사) 304명을 대상으로 사회복무제도와 사회복무요원에 대한 인식과 태도가 어떠한지 조사한 결과, 사회복무제도에 대해 긍정적인 태도를 보였고, 제도가 지속적인 운영과 확대가 되길 희망하였다. 또한 사회복지사업에 사회복무요원의 역할과 활동에 긍정적으로 인식하였다. 그리고 사회복무제도의 성공적인 정착을 위해 사회복무요원의 배치전 사전교육과 직무교육 시간 증가와 관리운영에 관한 권한 강화, 운영비 지원을 필요로 하였다. 따라서 사회복무제도 운영 개선과 사회복무교육센터를 통한 교육내용의 강화, 우수 복무기관에 대한 다양한 인센티브 부여가 요구된다.

This research has analyzed the options of improving 'National Basic Livelihood Security Program' and factors influencing on them, focusing on the 345 social welfare officials' recognition and assessment of the program. As a result of the analysis, some difference has been identified in the assessment of respective options in accordance with how social welfare officials recognize and assess the program and its recipients. The assessments as to the options of improving restrictions on the able-bodied poors, implementation of the individual benefit method, and so forth were shown differently according to the age; years of service; amount of work; rationality of the criteria for selecting recipients; levels of payment by the 'National Basic Livelihood Security Program'; possibility of the recipients' exit from poverty; achievements of the self-supporting program; and evaluation of the program improvement efforts of the government. Based on this result of analysis, key tasks and improvement options for the 'National Basic Livelihood Security Program' have been explored on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the program.

This study was based on politic reality which is being developed within the ambiguity of cultural welfare, and discussed what sort of awareness the practitioners show in the settlement process of the cultural welfare policy in depth. 4 elements were discovered in the settlement process of the cultural welfare policy which the practitioners are aware of. The elements are value(pursuit of comprehensive mankind), element of practice(process of operation), elements of external influences(process of policy settlement), and elements of internal influences(reinforcement of practitioners capability). This means that not only the process of policy settlement in a narrow sense, but also value, practice, and reinforcement of practitioners' capability for the provision of better service should be considered for the settlement of the policy. This study which analyzed the cultural welfare practitioners' awareness of policy settlement process is significant in that it provides the basic data for future settlement of the cultural welfare policy.

The purpose of this research is to explore the explanatory factors of preference for the universality of the welfare system at the time of expanding the welfare system. In particular, considering endogenous problem that may occur in the process of analyzing the causal relationship between subjective perception and preference for welfare policy, the 2SLS regression analysis using instrument variables was attempted in this research. The key findings of this research were as follow. First, the groups who are opposed to the welfare state expansion, for example high income earners, low risk group, and employer/self-employer, prefer the more universal welfare systems. Second, the negative perception of welfare policy and recipients, which is stronger in older generation who experienced a much longer period of industrializaion, have a negative effect on preference for the universal welfare system. Last, we find that the endogenous problem arise in this research and distort the estimated regression coefficients. Therefore, subsequent studies must be mindful of this problem when they explain attitudes with attitudes.

This study is about the relationship between traditional familism and welfare consciousness in Korea. Traditional familism is known as the value that most Koreans share with, and the impeding value for welfare program development. Strong family solidarity and family-centered perception among Koreans influences other social values and ideology. Especially, care of the family members is understood as a family duty and responsibility. And this inhibits Koreans to develop welfare consciousness and further to develop welfare programs at the governmental level. Thus, this study purposes to explore the relationship between the two. The sample of 1,131 men and women was selected in Seoul area. As a result, traditional familism is found to be quite influential to welfare consciousness among Koreans. First, perception of welfare institution is strongly related with welfare consciousness. The respondents in high familism group showed low welfare consciousness. Second, state-friendly welfare responsibility was shown low in the group of high familism for the aged and youth. In the same context, for the disabled and the unemployed, state-friendly welfare responsibility was shown high in the group of low familism. Lastly, the relationship between familism and the welfare need was not apparent. Such results make possible to conclude that traditional familism among Korean is still influential to welfare consciousness and welfare ideology. However, although this conclusion should not be used for an excuse to avoid state responsibility but used as a tool to develop a welfare model to strengthen family function as one solid family.

This paper is about the NOOMP(Not Out of My Pocket) phenomenon, the inconsistent welfare attitude for an expansion of welfare system and increase of financial resources. By analyzing the scale and influential factors of the NOOMP to the main welfare programs, focusing on the class, gender, and age group, the paper tries to investigate the relationship between the NOOMP and the inherent stratification structure of each programs. This paper uses the Additional Survey of Welfare Attitude in 2013 Korea Welfare Panel Survey. As a result of analysis, low level of NOOMP phenomenon has been observed in welfare programs for whole society members such as health policies, pension, employment policies, compared to those of targeted programs for the poor, aged, or disabled. In addition, high probability of each group of 'low incomer', 'female', and '20s or less'to the NOOMP phenomenon has been appeared, therefore, high relevance of the NOOMP and the stratification structure of welfare programs have been confirmed. These results indicate that the transition to the universal welfare programs and the improvement of welfare programs for more equal structure are needed to reduce the NOOMP phenomenon.

This study purports to empirically examine the potential effect of the level of social trust on their welfare consciousness level. Although previous studies in the field have focused on socio-economic or class-oriented variables, the accumulated results have shown that the effects were inconsistent at best in Korean context. In order to overcome the limits of theoretical assumptions from mainstream Marxists and institutionalists, this study suggests the relative autonomy of social consciousness and its independent effect on welfare consciousness. The analysis shows that both foundational variables, income levels and labor market participation, and the level of social trust have significant impacts upon the respondents' level of welfare consciousness.

This study aims to provide policy suggestions by examining the perception and attitude of Koreans toward the welfare rights. The study was done through a telephone survey conducted by an opinion research institute on 2,050 respondents in 16 cities and provinces. The results are as follows. First, a majority of Koreans responded that the primary responsibility for welfare rests with the government and perceived their welfare receipt rights in a positive way. Respondents also showed an assertive attitude toward exercising their rights by stating that they intend to file a demurrer or participate in civic activities. Second, in terms of duty performance, most respondents showed different positions concerning tax hike and insurance rate increase, although they showed a stronger opposition to an increase in insurance fee. In addition, 90% of the respondents were in favor of building welfare institutions in the residential area and an overwhelming proportion of the respondents indicated that they would take an active part in welfare development by regularly paying taxes and volunteering. Third, the respondents gave a very negative rating to Koreas welfare system and its overall level. That is, people thought that the level of Koreas welfare system is on a par with that in developing or underdeveloped countries, and that the welfare system benefits no one or only the rich. People generally felt that there was not one proper welfare institution. In conclusion, the study found that Koreans have keen awareness of their welfare rights and proactive attitude toward welfare development, whereas negative viewpoint toward tax and insurance fee increases. This may stem from peoples distrust of government welfare policies and the existing welfare system. This study suggests that welfare policy is an important factor in determining peoples political attitude. Therefore, government authorities must recognize people not as passive receivers of welfare benefit but as active policy partners, and establish policies that reflect peoples high welfare rights perception and willingness to take part in welfare development.

최근 정신질환의 심각성과 정신보건의 증진에 대한 세계적 관심이 고조되면서 세계보건기구(WHO)와 미국 보건복지부(DHHS)에서는 잇달아 정신보건에 대한 연구 결과들을 발표하였다(United States Public Health Service Office of He Surgeon Central, 1999 & 2001, World Health Organization, 2001). 이러한 가운데 지난해 미국 정부는 대통령 직속의 정신보건위원회를 설립하여 현재 정신보건서비스제도가 드러내고 있는 다양한 문제점들을 파악, 분석하여 개선 방안들을 제안해 줄 것을 요청하였다. 미국 사회의 정신질환 및 정신보건과 관련된 서비스시스템을 개선하기 위한 이러한 획기적인 노력은 1997년 Carter대통령 쥐임 직후 구성된 정신보건위원회(President's Commission on Mental Health) 이후 약 25년 만에 이루어진 일로서 정신보건 분야뿐만 아니라 미국 사회 전반에 걸쳐 비상을 관심을 끌고 있다. 그리고 이러한 노력과 결과는 최근 들어 심각하게 노출되는 정신질환 및 사회병리 현상으로 어려움을 겪고있는 한국 사회에도 많은 시사점을 줄 수 있으리라 기대된다. 따라서 본 연구는 정신보건위원회의 활동을 중심으로 미국 사회의 정신보건에 대한 다양한 문제를 인식하고 이를 해결하기 위한 정신보건서비스제도 개선 방안을 고찰하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구의 주요 내용으로는 위원회의 설립 배경과 활동 경과, 정신보건제도의 다양한 문제점과 개혁 방안으로 구성되었다. 그리고 이러한 고찰은 우리나라 정신보건제도에 대한 인식과 발전 방향에 대한 새로운 조망을 도출해낼 수 있으리라 기대한다. 연구의 주요 방법으로는 각종 연구보고서와 기존 문헌을 이용한 문헌 연구를 활용하였으며, 기존 출간 자료나 통계에 밝혀지지 않은 사항은 정신보건위원회의 위원과의 직접 인터뷰를 통해 보완되었다.
