Description

Explore the unique evolution of the Korean welfare state in this academic study by Routledge. While many East Asian nations like Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore prioritized economic development as the main goal of state action, Korea has taken a different path. This book examines how Korea implemented extensive welfare reforms and expanded its provision even during periods of economic downturn. Author Gyu-Jin Hwang traces the development of these social policies, offering a detailed case study for those studying East Asian industrial growth and the public management of social risks. This work provides a deep look into the interests, ideas, and institutions that shape Korean social policy today. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and observers interested in how modern Asian nations manage social welfare alongside economic shifts.
