Since the 1960s the state-initiated industrialization in Korea brought about a faith or an ideology, putting first priority on growth, which has prevailed over time in the mind of policy-makers and most of people. Now it is also reflected in the policy goal of this government, `globalization` to strengthen the competitive potential of the state. However, notwithstanding of the rapid economic growth, the fruits of growth were not evenly distributed for the welfare of people. Many theorists have developed different theories to explain the relationship between economic growth and social welfare. Industrialization theory and political dynamics theory are outstanding among those theories. The school of industrialization maintains that with the progress of economic growth measured by G.N.P. per capita the level of welfare spending increase. In Korea, however, the low level of welfare spending and its irrelevance to economic level do not support the industrialization theory. In political dynamics, the ratio of working class has increased steadily in Korea. But there is no correlation between the working class ratio and social welfare spending. The growth-priority ideology is the most powerful factor to explain the low level of social welfare, with the factor of divided structure between South and North. As results, the underprevilidged is suffering by diswelfare or social cost caused by rapid economic growth. Korea is ranked behind in the ratio of social welfare spending to G.N.P., so that she is known as a welfare leggard country with many social problems including poverty, housing, environment, and some phenomena of social pathology such as `the hurry-up syndrom`, the upsoaring ratio of criminal offences and juvenile delinquency and so on. To overcome the limits of growth in this country, first of all, the ideology of growth-priority should be destroyed in the mind of people. Also the priority of policy must be put on the quality of life rather than growth-for-growth. And the culture of community life should be fostered by various Christian civil movements. |
