전자바우처 사회서비스 사업의 현황과 개선방안

Abstract

This research is a probing study on what the central government's social services‘ problems are, and what must be improved to address such problems. For this purpose, the authors reviewed academic literatures and other materials such as government publications and statistics to apprehend the current status and problems of six electric voucher social services with a focus on 7 areas including contents, targets, selection criteria, budget, number of targets, number of service institutions and number of providers. The problems of Korea's social service are 1) that they are basically restricted to poverty group and 2) that services which is currently provided are limited in simple forms of 'Care'. In this paper, authors strongly suggest that the social service market should be activated more to address these problems. And to make the market more active, the authors also suggest a social insurance as an alternative scheme for providing social services.
