Abstract

|
This study explores the segregation of Korean working people through focusing on the difference of their attitudes on the welfare policy. This study also tries to insist and show that people’s attitude on the welfare policy may depend on their risk status which is not determined solely by income and occupational position, but depends on the possession of living security means such as state welfare benefits, private welfare benefits, and housing assets. In these circumstances, this study assumes Korean working people may hold different welfare attitudes depending on whether they own the means of living security and how much they own such means. Empirical analysis was attempted using the data of < 2013 survey on Seo-min >. First, this study tries to classify the risk status of the Korean working people into low risk group(LR), middle risk group(MR), and high risk group(HR) by their living security measures. Second, this study tries to explore the difference of attitude toward the welfare expansion and taxation among these 3 groups. As a result, support for the expansion of the government role was significantly higher in HR and MR than LR. The willingness to pay tax was significantly lower in the HR. These results show that rather than income or occupation, risk status based on living security system is a more important factor in understanding the attitudes of Korean working people toward welfare policy.
