The purpose of this study is to analyze the changes of Labour Market Policy according to ‘activation’ strategy of advanced welfare states after de-industrialization. This is because a ‘Activating’ LMP symbolizes ‘re-commodification of welfare state’ withdrawing income maintenance policy and reinforcing supply-oriented measures for labour market inclusion of inactive groups. To analyze the trend of individual state, this study constructs LMP’s ideal types after 1990s, such as ‘Classical’ model and ‘Activation’ model, and approaches through the frameworks; ‘Labour market flexibility’ and ‘Activation of active labour market policy’. As a result of this analysis, most states are evolved from the ‘Classical’ model to ‘Activation’ model in 2010 in comparison with the 1990s. However, to put it concretely, there is a great difference of a change into ‘Activation’ model. Whereas in 2010 UK indicated the highest degree of activation, France showed a pattern closer to ‘Classical’ model. Like this, in spite of the general trend of ‘activating’ LMP in restructuring process of welfare states, this study shows different context of each states drawing differentiation tendency. In addition, the researcher suggests policy implications of LMP that is a precondition to expand welfare state in Korean society approaching ‘Activation’ model.
