This study tried to explain homeostasis by which Korea sought stability by producing the change of social welfare expenditure through a regulating process in an unstable period of national system. The purpose of this study was to analyze the self-regulating pattern of homeostasis by which the balance of national system was maintained through a dynamic change of social welfare expenditure. Followings are the results of analysis. First, punctuation test showed that there were several times of punctuation for 34 years concerning the change of social welfare expenditure. Distribution pattern test showed the vibrational tendency of wave pattern. Second, normality test showed a bimodal distribution and several times of outlier according to test standards. Lastly, incremental test showed a very high rate of non-incremental change. These results show that the national system yields an incremental change pattern of social welfare expenditure at the period of stability, while in crisis the system maintains a stable state by yielding a drastic non-incremental change pattern as usual through a dynamic regulating process and by yielding an incremental change rather intermittently and exceptionally. This is not an accidental nor a transient phenomenon, but the change process in homeostasis. Therefore, the social welfare expenditure pattern in Korea can be seen as a self-regulating pattern of homeostasis for the last 34 years.
