사회구조의 변화에 따른 중앙-지방정부간 복지재정관계의 재정립

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to build the intergovernmental welfare fiscal relationship. An old conflict between the central and local governments over the social welfare budget is becoming more intense according to the changes in the social sructure. This is compounded by not only the entangled intergovernmental transfer system but also the obscure provisions in relevant laws and statues for the assignment of appropriate function and responsibility to local governments. The study is composed of three parts. First, Part I examines the structural changes in welfare needs in order to specify the main source of their contention over fiscal allocation. Second, Part II discusses the current status and structural characteristic of the local goverment's welfare fiscal. Finally, Part III presents standard rules to reassign central and local government responsibility in the social welfare service sector based on the economic theory of decentralization. And also presents the classification of central and local responsibility for matching grants social programs can improve the fiscal space of local governments by reducing their matching burdens.
