Abstract
The welfare administration is the one that guarantees all national people`s rights to live worthy of men concretely, and becomes an object of common interest in all countries of the world. I checked a historical change process of welfare administration in our country. The welfare administration in the traditional society is to do their best to aid disasters by recognizing that the natural disasters or the artificial disasters are God`s punishment to the state or the administrator, in the Three Kingdom Period is to execute a charitable work of the beneficiary, in the Korea Dynasty is to emphasize a farm encouragement policy based on a political theory of Confucianism and to execute a price stabilization policy and a settlement work through Eui-chang and Sang-pyung-chang, and in the Lee Dynsaty is that the settlement work according to the natural disasters was executed as a national duty; King`s responsibility, based on the Confucious kingship. The welfare administration in the modern society was executed by a political purpose of the Japan and the U. S. A., and in under the rule of Japanese imperialism, it was a beneficial administration for the pauper aid that was an after urgent countermeasure toward the natural disasters. And in the American military administration period, it was emphasized on a supply of meals, housing, and medicine to the refugees from the North after 8. 15 Liberation, the sufferers from the abroad, and the paupers and the unemployed persons by the war disaster. In the period of government establishment, it was emphasized only on an urgent aid to the reliefs by the Korean War and executed the welfare administration for the refugees` settlement by organizing the Central Aid Committee commonly with the UN Civil Assistance Command. And the welfare administration in modern meaning is in an early stage compared to that of the developed countries, because the welfare aspect was nearly disregarded during last 30 years from 1960s due to an economic growth though some kinds of system was legistrated. In order to solve a conflict among the nations and to deal with an explosive demand of welfare in nowadays, an authentic improvement method for the welfare administration should be requested. First, the current complexive laws related with the welfare should be improved, a plural administration system make unitary or a method for an area establishment should be promoted in order to be an organic assistance system with the administration. Second, the organization of local welfare administration should be rationalized, the man power should be specialized, and the responsibility limit between the state and the local area should be controlled and a special members for the welfare administration should be supplemented in order to correspond to the localization period. Third, the balancing industrialization between the areas should be promoted. Fourth, the fair balancing distribution should be accomplished. Fifth, the object of welfare administration should be all national people. Sixth, the welfare administration should be the one that can maintain the national people`s health and the minimum standard of living. Seventh, the establishment of "Welfare Tax" can be requested as a method of finance supply for the welfare administration. Eighth, the traditional family system should be preserved, and should be expanded more. Even in the developed countries where they make an utopis of the earth, an objective welfare level is high, but a level of happiness is low rather because a rate of divorce and sucide becomes high due to an abuse of family system. In conclusion, the administration function in nowadays leads all policy decisions and take part in the national people`s private lives. So the welfare administration should be executed by the government and a study on the welfare administration should be activited more and more.
