Considering the currently perforated social safety nets in rural regions, one might ask whether the Social Employment and Social Enterprise program, a recently developing strategy to address social risks, can fill holes in the safety net, in terms of income maintenance and caring of less advantaged people. Through the analysis of two rural Social Employment and Social Enterprise programs, Gangwon Forestry Enterprises and the Gangnung Organic Produce and Food Enterprises, I found that the rural programs have potential for low-income people and/or handicapped people in the regions, on the condition that autonomy in designing and administering the programs is granted to civil society in general and business sites, the real sites of the programs, in specific. I also found that the successful and sustainable implementation can be possible through reworking continuously a set of local and national institutions and practices, including discourses mutual help and social cohesion. In this sense, the Social Employment and Social Enterprise program is the matter of rule-making in a regulationist term.
