Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The birth and remarkable expansion of Korean social welfare policy over the last several decades has taken place amidst the socio-economic burdens of a rapidly aging society. This book surveys these developments through the analytic lens of the Social Investment State, under which contemporary policies have altered the essential character of the 20th century welfare states, which had provided a counterforce to capitalism. In contrast, the Social Investment State isseen as backing policies designed to advance capitalism by promoting labor force participation, the growth of human capital, individual responsibility and economic development. In examining the moderncontext and development of the Korean welfare state, this book is divided into three sections that focus on the socio-political evolution, the core policies of the Korean welfare state, and the contemporary policy challenges of Korea's aging society. The first section traces the socio-political evolution of the Korean welfare state over the last three decades. The second section surveys the core policies of the Korean welfare state. The third section explores several key policy challengesencountered by the Korean approach to social investment as it seeks to address the demands of social protection in a rapidly aging society. The volume concludes with a postscript that reviews thecontemporary Korean discourse, which goes beyond the social investment state to the political interests in a universal basic income policy. This book examines the evolution of the Korean welfare state over the last several decades and the challenges it currently faces as a rapidly aging society. Since the turn of the 21st century, the Korean welfare state along with the economy has rapidly matured, increasing both the scope of social welfare coverage and the fiscal capacity to pay for these benefits.
