This research focuses on a formal policy reform about national welfare system of the United States and Korea. Reviewing historical and social context analyses of both the U.S and Korea, this paper will explore the procedures of welfare reform in a different way. Social contexts include social value, social system, political ideology, and economic system. The central question of the paper is to examine how social contexts can construct social welfare policies. Furthermore, national welfare policies are affected by their own features, such as values, ideologies, and systematic institutions. The focal points of this study have been the dynamics and questions of the relationship between socioeconomic and political contexts and welfare policies. Two countries can reduce their welfare expenditures as a result of policy reform. In the perspective of governmental management, it is highly efficient policy at a glance of finances. However, the welfare expenditures declination means a blind spot may extend and the governments are not able to cope with needy groups' demands in timely. It has absolutely been found that socioeconomic factors can lead to the reformation of national welfare policy, as the example of Korea and the United States shows. In addition, a consensus in political parties and neoliberal economic renovation can affect a nation’s traditional national welfare system as the example of the U.S shows. In conclusion, the present welfare policy can shed light on the welfare-to-work to raise up the poverty and needy group to support themselves as an example of both two countries.
Abstract
This research focuses on a formal policy reform about national welfare system of the United States and Korea. Reviewing historical and social context analyses of both the U.S and Korea, this paper will explore the procedures of welfare reform in a different way. Social contexts include social value, social system, political ideology, and economic system. The central question of the paper is to examine how social contexts can construct social welfare policies. Furthermore, national welfare policies are affected by their own features, such as values, ideologies, and systematic institutions. The focal points of this study have been the dynamics and questions of the relationship between socioeconomic and political contexts and welfare policies. Two countries can reduce their welfare expenditures as a result of policy reform. In the perspective of governmental management, it is highly efficient policy at a glance of finances. However, the welfare expenditures declination means a blind spot may extend and the governments are not able to cope with needy groups' demands in timely. It has absolutely been found that socioeconomic factors can lead to the reformation of national welfare policy, as the example of Korea and the United States shows. In addition, a consensus in political parties and neoliberal economic renovation can affect a nation’s traditional national welfare system as the example of the U.S shows. In conclusion, the present welfare policy can shed light on the welfare-to-work to raise up the poverty and needy group to support themselves as an example of both two countries.
