The purpose of this study is to examine the possibility of integrating the long-term care insurance system with the disabled activity support system in Korea through applying the social welfare policy analysis framework. Targets, allowances, delivering processes, and financial resources of the two systems were compared in order to discuss the possibility. Basically, the targets, allowances, and delivering processes are almost the same in both systems, but the financial resources of the two systems are structurally different. Nevertheless, there would be no serious problem to integrate the two systems if a nationally common agreement would be reached politically for the financial part.
