The purpose of this study is to learn current state of social welfare funds of 6 major cities, and to find better ways to execute those funds as well as to facilitate studies on them. So far, the studies on funds were limited to those on large ones such as pension, yielding scant number of studies on local ones, which could be the practical tools to resolve the problems of the area. To do this, I analyzed the scale of the funds (i.e. the amount of the funds raised, the amount changes in fund execution, and the comparison of the scale between each fund accounts and general accounting) and the characteristics of the fund programs (i.e. the comparison of scales of fund programs of each fund accounts, the content of the programs of each fund accounts, and the characteristics of the budget of each fund accounts). The result shows that 1) the scale of the funds changed accordingly as they were maintained, curtailed and expanded; 2) the scale of the funds were 0.02~1% of that of the general accounting; 3) the fund programs were mostly for decreasing poverty, centered on self support; 4) the social welfare funds and the funds for women were not clearly separated in some local governments, instigating the arguments on the identity of social welfare funds; and 5) the fund programs were run by civil organizations, different from general accounting programs. Based on the findings, to efficiently utilize the social welfare funds, I suggest 1) expansion of the fund scales; 2) diversification of the self-support programs to decrease poverty; 3) specification of the identity of the social welfare funds; and 4) establishment of the public and civil governance.

In 2004. as a part of special housing policy for low income household, Korean government initiated 'Multiple-dwelling Purchase and Public Rental Program'(MDPPRP) to help people whose needs for appropriate housing cannot be met in private housing market. The main goal of this program was to provide the base for self support of tenants by purchasing 'Multiple-housing' in bundle and transferring them into rental housing with low price to the low income tenants. Unlike other public rental housing programs, this model program limited the length of stay in the rental housing by six years to lead tenant's self support. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of this model program for further expanding enforcement. For this, two groups of residents of 'multiple-dwelling purchase and public rental program' and permanent rental housing were compared and analyzed. Thirty two tenants of MDPPRP were interviewed for the study. As research methods, document review, onsite tenant interviews using questionnaire were used. As a whole, most of the tenants were satisfied with their 'multiple-dwelling' environment in physical and socio-psychological aspects.

In general, commercial franchisors prefer franchisees with high entrepreneurship and business capability. However, these entrepreneurial franchisees with high capability tend to depend less on franchisors. Although franchisees with less entrepreneurship and low capability need intensive care from franchisors, some of them result in business failure due to improper supports from incapable franchisors. This paper suggests several propositions regarding social franchising's role in supporting the low-income urban people on the premise that social franchising or micro-franchising provides implications for franchisor strategic orientations for franchisees with little capital. Through literature review about social franchising and micro franchising, some implications are drawn. Many social enterprises use franchising to get growth and sustainability, because franchising allow social enterprise to expand its scale and to achieve economies of scale despite of its non-commercial and social purpose. And continuous support and training undertake the most important role to achieve its social purpose. In commercial franchising, especially small business format franchising sector, franchisor have to consider not only commercial purpose but also social responsibility because of low capability and less entrepreneurship of franchisee. If franchisor pursue only own profit, this can increase the conflict and franchise system failure. So far many franchisors are concerned with own profit and external growth. But it is necessary to consider symbiotic relationship, social responsibility and sustainability more for the sake of desirable industrial growth in the future.

정부는 2018.2.8일 국정현안점검조정회의를 통해 국무조정실, 금융위원회, 기획재정부, 고용노동부, 중소벤처기업부 등 관계부처 합동으로 "사회적금융 활성화 방안"을 최종 확정하였다. 한국의 사회적금융은 보조 기부행위가 아닌 투자 융자 보증 등 회수를 전제로 사회적기업, 협동조합, 자활기업, 마을기업 등 사회적경제기업에게 다양한 자금을 지원하는 금융활동 전반을 말한다. 현재 민간의 자발적인 금융지원활동도 일부 있으나, 정부 공공재원 중심으로 기존의 서민금융진흥원의 사회적기업 신용대출, 중진공의 정책자금 대출, 신보 지신보 특례보증, 사회적기업 모태펀드 등 중기 서민 정책금융체계내의 사업이 대다수를 차지하고 있는 실정이다. 한국의 사회적금융은 미국과 일본, 영국 등의 선진국에 비하면 이제 태동기로서, 사회적경제기업은 자금 공급부족, 제도 금융권에서의 소외 등 자금조달에 큰 애로를 겪고 있다. 따라서, 공공부문 주도로 자금공급을 확대하고 있으나, 사회적경제기업의 자금수요에는 아직도 크게 미치지 못하는 상황이다. 특히, 지원방식이 짧은 만기, 대출 보증에 편중되는 등 사회적경제의 특수성에 대한 고려가 미흡하여 수요-공급 간 미스매치도 큰 상황과 자금수요자와 투자자를 이어주는 사회적금융 중개기관, 사회적성과 평가 등 시장 인프라도 전반적으로 크게 미비 되어 있어 민간의 참여를 제약하는 것도 그 이유이다. 본 연구에서는 한국의 시회적금융지원제도의 전반적인 현장의 실태를 중심으로 실무적인 측면에서 분석 및 향후과제를 도출하여 관계기관 등에 정책적인 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.

Microcredit was first introduced by non-profit organization in early 2000s and the Ministry of Health and Welfare promoted the support policy of self-support community and the hope-developing bank. And then, microcredit policy was suddenly changed while the microfinance policy was promoted in 2009. For example, there were changes of the control tower of the policy, the emphasis on financial approach from welfare approach, the establishment of the operation agency. This study analyzed the policy changes on microcredit policy using the framework of Hood(1994) and Joo(1999) in order to analyze causes of sudden changes. As results, the reason affecting microcredit policy change was changes of an unemployment rate and the financial environment, the change of outside situation, the policy idea of the middle practicalism of government and the success of the experiment in microcredit, the passive intervention of stakeholders, the internal factors on the policy custom. So the results suggests that the policy is produced illogically because of the absence of stakeholders' participation.

The survey covered 1,244 people. By age group, 826 people aged 55-64 (middle-age group) and 418 people aged 65-74(old-age group). Middle age group showed that education level, spouse, health condition, beneficiaries of basic livelihood and average monthly income variables were the factors that influence the satisfaction of life. But The type of employment did not significantly affect. Old age group showed that the higher education level, in spouse with-living or spouse death, the better health condition is perceived, the less experience of beneficiaries of basic livelihood, the higher average monthly income, the more satisfied life is. The survey also found that old-aged people who participate in "self-help labor, public labor, and elderly employment program in public sector" are also found to be more satisfied with their lives.
