  • This study explicitly identifies the main values that rural welfare recipients reveal when they talk about their experiences with welfare and welfare reform. An inductive analysis of values is conducted using interview data from 49 current and former recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) residing in the states of Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, and New York. Seven main values that emerge from the data are self-esteem, autonomy, uniqueness, advancement, security, independence, and fairness. A conceptual diagram of these values is developed to illustrate how these values are related

  • 사형은 단순히 하나의 경과적 형벌로 끝나는 것이 아니라 한 사람의 존재를 영원히 지워버리는 것으로서 실존주의적 휴머니즘에 반할뿐 아니라 사회통합이라는 사회복지 목표에 정면으로 배치되는 제도이다. 이에 본 연구는 교정복지의 가치와 철학을 중심논거로 사형에 대한 다각도의 비판적 고찰을 함으로써 그 문제성을 지적하고 나아가 사형제도 폐지의 당위성을 이끌어 내고자 하였다. 요컨대, 사형은 생명권이라는 불가침적인 기본권과 시공을 초월한 인간의 생존본성을 부정할 때만 가능한 것이다. '인간행동의 근거'를 문화와 사회라는 사회체계 속에서 찾으려는 거시적 관점을 부인할 수 없는 한, 사형제도는 사회연대와 인간존엄성과 같은 가치를 바탕으로 사회구성원들이 자기실현을 할 수 있도록 사회 전체가 책임을 진다는 복지철학에 반하며, 범죄인에 대한 교정과 재활 등 적극적으로 특별예방을 지향하는 교정복지의 목표와도 상치되는 것으로서 마땅히 폐지되어야 한다.

  • This study examines the organizational performance of human service organizations from the quality output perspective. Using the 2001 evaluation data about 89 community welfare centers in Seoul, this study attempts to identify the levels of the performance of human service organizations in Korea. This study also attempts to identify the factors that predict performance of human service organizations measured in terms of client satisfaction and experts' evaluation about the functioning of each center. Results are as follows: (1) when pooling 866 clients' satisfaction level into satisfaction score about each center, the average of client satisfaction about the centers is 3.42 at 4 points scale. (2) 41.6% of the community welfare centers is evaluated as "highly qualified" in its overall operation and functioning by the professional evaluation team, (3) the employee reward system(+), practice based on the program guideline manual(+), the portion of the government support grant in its budget(-), the overall employee salary level(-), the level of acquirement of program grants from external sources (-) are the predictors in explaining clients' satisfaction level, and (4) the level of professional expertise of the executive director(+), the level of professional supervision of middle managers(+), the employee reward system(+), the program need assessment(+), the level of client information system(+), the portion of government support grant(-), the overall employee salary level(-) are the predictors for "being highly qualified" in its overall operation and function of each center.

  • This study is a study on the recognition and policy direction of welfare service for the disabled. For this, it aims to draw implications about the policy direction of welfare service for the disabled using basic investigation of welfare for the disabled among $2^{nd}$, $3^{rd}$ community social welfare plans of Jeollanam-do. As study results, it was analysed that the demand of welfare service for the disabled is increasing from providing the past livelihood such as establishing the foundation for basic livelihood to customized welfare service such as supplying jobs for enhancing the quality of life of the disabled. That is judged to be caused by needs for human's basic rights according to economic development and improvement in income level, and it will be appropriate to set up the software-focused policy for the disabled individuals rather than to set up the hardware-focused policy like the past. Despite the implications like these, however, this study has limitation that its subject is restricted to D-gun, so henceforth it needs to draw more general conclusions through comprehensive research about more extensive regions.

  • The goals and strategies of welfare-to-work (WTW) policies have been sources of contentious political debate. In the United States, despite 20 years of welfare reform, there remain important differences of opinion regarding how best to design and deliver WTW programs. The proliferation of state and local WTW experiments has led to the identification of two ideal-types of WTW programs: the Labor Force Attachment and Human Capital Development models. Most of the recent policy debate about WTW in America has focused on the relative merits and performance of LFA and HCD. While the Primary goal of the LFA model is for welfare recipients to achieve a rapid transition into work, the HCD model seeks to improve the long-term employability of welfare dependents through education and skill development. LFA policies tend to be strongly outcome-oriented and generally can yield quick results. Their "any job is a good job" philosophy has proved attractive to policy-makers who are anxious to see concrete results in a short-term period. In contrast, the HCD policies do not simply dump welfare dependents at the bottom of the labor market, but aim to secure relatively stable and well-paid jobs. However, these strengths are offset by several practical weaknesses including high unit costs and long-term investment in human capital. In recent years, LFA policies have been increasingly favored by both policy officials and politicians in the United States. The introduction of Temporaray Assistance to Needy Families of 1996 has been accelerating the trend. What is going to happen to welfare recipients? This simple shift to the LFA model, however, will only see an alarming increase of working poor in a near future.

  • The scale and the extent of a aging of population of a rural are more serious than those of a urban in China. However, the welfare policy and the service for the aged in the rural are inferior. China established the different systems of social welfare policy for the city and the rural and has administered it since the china was established. Owing to an open-door policy(opening of a reform) the gap between the two got more deeply distinguished. Accordingly. the striking difference is shown in a living environment and a quality of life of the cities and the rural. I made clear the difference of services for the aged in the rural and the urban examining daily lives, medical industry, recreation systems and so on and analyzing their sources. In addition, I proposed the ways to establish synthetic social welfare policy of the urban and the rural.

  • 본 연구는 권리의 개념과 유형을 살펴보고, 인권 및 시민권 논의를 통해 복지권의 구성내용과 성격을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 복지권의 구성 내용으로는 (1) 사회적 권리로서 사회보장권, 사회복지서비스권, 건강권, 교육권, 주거권을 (2) 경제적 권리로서 노동권, 노동시장 개입권 및 직업안정권, 자본통제권을 (3) 문화적 환경적 권리로서 문화권, 환경권을 포함한다. 그리고 복지권은 현대 시민사회에서 시민, 그리고 더 나아가서는 인간에게 부여되는 당연한 권리로서 자유권, 정치권 등 다른 권리와 동등한 가치를 지니며, 객관적으로 존재한다기보다는 구축되는 것으로 보아야 한다. 또한 복지권에는 동시에 의무도 수반되지만 그 의무는 비조건적인 성격이 강하며, 복지권에 따른 복지의 수준은 사회성원으로서 완전한 참여와 통합을 지향하는 목표로서 불평등의 지속성을 방지할 수 있는 적정수준이어야 한다.
