The change in the Japanese rental housing policy since the 1990s appeared as a reduction in the role of central government, an expansion in the local government's discretion, and an increase in the dependence on the housing market. As a result, the supply of new public rental housing decreased drastically and the rent regulation was eased. This study is designed to evaluate the validity of the policy change through an analysis of the change in housing affordability of tenants during the period of 1983~2008. The analysis showed that the housing affordability and the accessibility to the housing market by tenants had been improved, confirming that if the public rental housing stock was properly used, the housing needs of the low-income tenants would be met without new supply. Therefore, it appeared that the change in the Japanese rental housing policy may have a certain amount of validity. However, the study pointed out that the validity of the policy change must be limited as the future risk factors such as the possibility of residualisation of public rental housing and the increase of poor households according to job insecurity were not well considered. Accordingly, in conclusion this study suggests that new policy instruments should be developed at central government-level, such as offering incentives for local governments and establishing a housing allowance etc.

In the post-war period, the mass provision of social rental housing units represented the primary means for resolving housing welfare issues across much of Western Europe. In contrast to North America, large swathes of state subsidized rental housing where built and let-out at submarket rents, both to needy as well as regular working households. By the 1980s social housing accounted for as many as four in ten homes in some contexts. Since then however, these important welfare sectors have been under attack. On the one hand, privatization policies have continued to undermine the basis of social renting with home ownership and private rental sectors advanced by policy as preferable alternatives. On the other hand, social housing providers have been restructured in order to play a more residual role in the housing market and serve more targeted groups of socially vulnerable people. This paper assesses key differences in the development of West European social housing sectors as well as recent transformations in their status that represent a challenge their sustainability. It also looks to what insights this provides for the South Korean housing context where public housing has proliferated and been increasingly diversified in recent years.

본 연구는 18년간의 보수당 정권 하에서 영국의 사회주택정책이 겪은 변화의 주요 내용과 결과를 고찰함으로써 그 성격을 파악하고 무리 나라에 유용한 정책적 합의를 획득하려는 목적을 갖는다. 연구자는 연구를 위하여 1년 동안 영국에 머물면서 주제와 관련된 1,2차 자료들은 물론, 현지 학자들의 의견에 직접 접할 기회도 활용하였다. 사회주택정책의 변화는 70년대 경제 위기 이후의 영국 복지국가 재편작업의 일환으로 추진되었다. 보수당 정부는 시영주택의 대규모 매각 등 민영화와 시장화 정책을 정열적으로 추진하였으며, 공공지출의 삭감과 보조금 제도의 개혁 등을 통하여 이를 뒷받침하였다. 정책변화의 결과 주거유형의 분포와 지방정부의 역할 등에서 가시적인 변화가 나타났으며, 사회정책적으로는 주택부족, 공공부문의 잔여화 현상, 주거비 부담의 증대, 보조금 배분의 역진성, 의존의 증가 둥 부정적 현상이 두드러졌고, 목적했던 공공지출의 삭감도 달성하지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 결국 복지국가 위기에 대한 신자유주의적 대응은 국가역할의 철폐가 아닌 재 정향으로 나타났으며, 이에 따를 복지국가의 변화된 모습 둥은 우리나라 사회주택정책의 정립과 복지국가 모델의 형성을 위해 시사하는 바가 크다.
