The American military occupations of Korea(1945-1948) and Japan(1945-1952) after the second world war had great influences on the history of the two countries, the contents and results were, however, quite different. This study attempts to analyze the similarities and differences, the determinants of the social welfare policy, and their long-term effects on the later social welfare policies in the two countries. For the purpose of this study, it uses a comparative case study on the public assistant policies of the two countries during the American military occupation. The conclusions of this study are summarized as follows. Firstly, although the American military occupations of the two countries faced the similar social problems during the same period, their countermeasures were quite different from each other. In Korea, the American military occupation hardly tried to establish a substantial social welfare system by making laws, but, mainly relying on temporary emergency relief, they just aimed for social control. On the other hand, in Japan, the American military occupation tried to improve the existing social welfare system in terms of the principles of demilitarization and democratization. Secondly, the political determinants of the social welfare policy in the two countries were much more important than the socioeconomic determinants. Especially the differences in the basic military occupation principles, the administration structure, and the roles of the indigenous ruling classes acted upon the different social welfare policies of Korea and Japan. Thirdly, the long-term effects on the later social welfare policies in the two countries was different. In Korea, the American military occupation hardly contributed to modernize the social welfare policy. Therefore, the unsystematic premodern relief system continued to exist for a long time. On the other hand, in Japan, the American military occupation contributed to modernizing the social welfare policy in terms of ideology and system and formed the groundwork for developing the later social welfare policies.

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors affecting the social capital of youth and to draw implications for the policies related to development of the social capital of them. To this end, we utilized the OLS regression model and the quantile regression model exploiting the 12th year dataset of the Korean Education & Employment Panel(KEEP). First, this study shows that the effect on trust is higher than that of the counterpart when the case is a) unmarried, b) with the high level of education, c) with a large asset, d) with high self-respect and the satisfaction for financial situation, and e) social media user. On the other hand, the higher the monthly average income, the lower the trust level. In addition, when the cases are grouped into 25 quantile, 50 quantile, and 75 quantile according to the level of trust, it is revealed empirically that the factors affecting social capital formation are somewhat different. Second, this study also shows that the effect is higher in a specific condition. The effect is higher compared to the counterpart when the case is a) male, b) with children, c) metropolitan city resident, d) non-employee, e) with a large asset, f) with high level of happiness, g) with high expense of purchasing books, and h) social media user. As a result, it is found that there are no personal characteristics that have statistically significant influence on students belonging to the 25th quantile of social capital. This study suggests that, in order to support the formation of social capital of Korean youths, it is necessary to enhance their psychological satisfaction and to provide cultural support or policies. In addition, it suggests that a tailored social capital accumulation program is needed according to the level of social capital, and the support for this need to be changed according to the amount of social capital of young people.

정책변화가 왜 발생하였는가? 그와 같은 정책변화에 어떠한 요인들이 작용하였는가? 또한 그와 같은 정책변화가 어떠한 과정을 거쳐서 발생하였는가? 본 연구는 정책변화의 복잡성을 체계적으로 설명할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 정책연구의 지배적인 패러다임인 객관적·과학적 연구방법에서 탈피하여 사회적 형성주의 관점에서 맥락, 문제정의 및 대상 집단의 사회적 형성이 정책변화에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여, 본 연구는 문제정의 이론과 대상 집단의 사회적 형성 이론의 결합을 통하여 연구 모형을 구축하였다. 또한 이와 같이 구축된 모형에 의하여 정책결정자가 문제 정의와 대상 집단의 사회적 형성에 어떤 역할을 하며, 그 결과가 정책변화에 어떻게 반영되는지를 정책의 논리, 근거 및 메시지의 측면에서 양도소득중과제도를 대상으로 분석하였다. 마지막으로, 이러한 분석을 통하여 도출된 시사점에 대하여 논의하였다.

In this paper, government R&D supported 310 small and medium enterprises in three main sectors were surveyed and examined the relationship between major factors related to social return using the structural equation model. The main results show that although the level of public awareness of social return and willingness of government R&D supported SMEs are established to some extent, the internal culture and system of SMEs for social return implementation are insufficient, and therefore policy aiming should be placed on establishing internal system of SMEs. In addition, this study suggests that the government policy delivery mechanism should be supplemented to positively increase willingness of SMEs and it is important to pay attention to the growth of SMEs must precede for activation of social return.

이 글은 '강력한 남성 부양자'국가로서 90년대 일본사회가 제시한 여성노동력에 대한 사회적 보호정책을 살펴보고 평가하는데 그 목적이 있다. 논의의 초점은 크게 3가지로 구분되는데 어머니로서는 보육정책을, 노동자로서는 노동정책을, 부인으로서는 사회보장 정책에 대한 논의가 그것이다. 보육정책의 경우 급격한 소자녀와 추세에 따라서 94년에 도입된 "엔젤 플랜"의 성격을 소개하였다. 노동정책은 99년 4월 실시된 개정 '노기법', 균등법', 휴업법' 내용을 다루었다. 정책내용에 담겨 있는 성이 여성의 규정방식을 평가하였다. 90년대 이후 지속되는 일본경제의 장기 불황 그리고 전세계적으로 도입되고 있는 신자유주의적 사조는, 90년대 이루어진 여성노동력에 대한 사회적 보호정책 개정의 효과를 반감시키는 요인으로 작용할 수 있다. 즉, 최근 개정된 일련의 여성노동력에 대한 사회적 보호정책의 기조는 '강력한 남성부양자' 국가인 일본사회의 남성 중심성을 수정 보완하기에는 역부족으로 보인다.
