This article is aiming at finding the character of social welfare corporations and at finding whether the outside director system is constitutional or not. These two issues are closely interrelated with each other. After examining critically existing studies and precedents that have seen the character of social welfare corporations as public sector or private sector, the present study suggests the dualism that divides social welfare corporations into facility corporations and support corporations and that finds the character of facility corporations and support corporations respectively. According to the dualism, even if outside director system for the facility corporations restricts the right to manage the corporations the system is seen as being constitutional because the corporations are more likely to be public sector so that the principle of private autonomy would not be applied to them. While outside director system for the support corporations is seen as being unconstitutional because the corporations are more likely to be private sector so that the principle of private autonomy would be applied to them. So, this article suggests the amendment of Social Welfare Service Act through which the different character of the facility corporations and support corporations can be respected and the diversity of social welfare corporations and social welfare services can be realized.

This paper analyzes whether social welfare services converge across the regions. We tested whether local social welfare services converge considering the congestion rate of local social welfare services during the 1985-2013 periods in Korea, using the sixteen higher level local governments panel data. The main findings are as follows. First, the absolute level of local social welfare services converge so that the -convergence exists. Second, the growth rate of local social welfare services increases as the intial level of local social welfare services is lower so that there exists -convergence. The policy implications of our findings are as follows. The local government had better consider the presence of local social welfare services in policy decision making. Also, fundamentally the social welfare policies had better be executed by the central government rather than local governments, since the national minimum welfare must be provided.
