스포츠복지 관련 현행 법령 및 정책의 개선 방안에 관한 연구

Abstract

As sports became universalized, discussions on the acknowledgment of sports as a right of a person and its enactment are continuing. There is no constitutional provision directly stipulating the sports rights in Korea, and the basis can only be deducted from the constitutional principles and individual fundamental rights. Moreover, currently there is no law stipulating the sports rights, whether it be as civil liberties or social rights. Although the 19th National Assembly introduced bills for the Fundamental Act on Sports and Welfare for Athletes Act, they were discarded prior to enactment due to expiration of the term, and these bills have been re-introduced in the 20th National Assembly. This paper looks into the laws and related regulations of sports welfare among the existing laws, and also looks into the policies implemented for the improvement of sports welfare. Bills on Welfare for Athletes Act and Fundamental Act on Sports have been proposed already, but the purpose of the Welfare for Athletes Act is for the living security and improvement of welfare for the athletes. However, having a single act on sports welfare targeting both the general public and the athletes would lead to an efficient policy on sports welfare for an efficient implementation. The purpose of this paper is to point out the problems of the current legislation and policy, and to propose a method to supplement the current legal system.
