신 사회위험 대응 전략으로서 복지정책 방향 전환의 타당성 검토 : 「사회보장기본법」을 중심으로

Recently, the most important law revision is the amendment of the Fundamentals of Social Security Act. The law has major contents that signify welfare policy transformation from income security to service security. Especially, the revision has been regarded significant, well-timed since it dealt with new social risks and the alternatives. Nevertheless, the Fundamentals of Social Security Act have several limitations. First, it is hard to expect the new law to perform the role of the fundamentals law. Although it specifies the crucial issues such as the new social risks, this law has limitation because it is revised without financial projection and without necessary contents. Second, even though this law suggests new social security sphere of service security, it does not clearly state relationships between social service, service security, lifelong social safety net and social security. Third, the conflicts are expected between the law and the other existing laws, and within the law itself because this law has dual recognition of universal service for basic needs and selective service for special needs. Last, it is expected that current problems will be continued unresolved, because this law does not consider the commercialization of social service. To achieve the proper legislative purposes, this law has to be amended further as soon as possible.
