일본의 사회적경제 정책에 관한 연구

People's interest in the social economy as a new regional development strategy is increasing day by day. As attempts to reinstate society in the fields of social welfare and labor force to respond to the crisis of the global capitalist market economy and welfare state are widespread, the social economy is attracting attention as a new model for regional development. The purpose of this study is to present Korea's policy direction by comparing and analyzing the differences in social objectives, policy formation process, promotion system, support targets, and support methods of socioeconomic policies in Korea and Japan. The policy significance and implications of this study are as follows. First, Korea and Japan have distinctly different socioeconomic backgrounds and social purposes, and the meaning and content of social economy are also clearly different. Second, the content and tasks of social problems that are the core of the social economy in Korea and Japan were appearing in a variety of ways and variables depending on the situation or social demands of the times. Third, since Korea and Japan have different social situations and it is difficult to assume that they will universally solve social economy problems in a complex and ever-changing social structure, they must establish social economy policies that are appropriate for their respective circumstances. All countries and societies must support continuous research and development to promote this.
