호주의 보훈정책

Abstract

The military is indispensable thing in preserving the nation, and support policy for the servicemen to adjust to society is also necessary after their military service. Inparticular, because Korea is a divided country, the military is powerful thing to suppress provocation ofa war by North Korea. So, when there are systematic and realistic policies for long-term career soldiers in rewarding for meritorious deeds, and peoples’ respect for them, military personnel to defend national security will exist during the war. Therefore, I discussed improvement of Korean support policy. First, I suggest establishment of corporation to back up employment for discharged soldiers in researching and applying the related problem, such as employment connected with living after discharge. Second, in terms of creating new jobs for discharged soldiers, the government should expand suitable jobs as a special job hiring the discharged soldiers first. In the job, there are a forest ranger, sweeper, park keeper, car jockey, guard at a public office, adriver, a policeman, and industrial complex officer managed by the government and public enterprise. Third, the government should help them decide a career such as employment and starting business through analysis of their career and counseling, and help them have the ability to adapt to society through individual training. Fourth, regarding the necessity and importance of supporting the discharged soldiers, related government department such as the Ministry of Planning and Budget and the Ministry ofG overnment Administration and Home Affairs need to change their perception in addition to the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs as well as peoples. I researched Australia’s patriots and veterans’ organization, patriots and veterans, supporting elements, medical and welfare policy for patriots and veterans, implication and I considered that welfare service provision system, or one stop service system can provide many ideas to provision system in Korean welfare service for patriots and veterans. Recently,more notable task is an active rehabilitation such as training and employment of war veteran through labor market program. This began after the war veterans returned after the Second World War emphasizing the rehabilitation to supply labor force smoothly. The trend seems to be the same tendency globally and should strengthen in setting up Korean policy for patriots and veterans. Now, all the free and democratic countries in the world aregiving veterans special treatment. Every nation without exception treats them with respect tough there is a difference of degree. Civilized countries should thank and respect veterans contributing to battle for the nation’s self-defense, and the government needs to prepare systematic and realistic policy for patriots and veterans.
