This paper empirically explores the nature of the social security sector, mainly social insurance and social welfare service, and its various propagation effects on the economy in the input-output model, as revealed by a comparative analysis between Korea and Japan. The main findings of the paper are as follows; first, it has been shown that production structure of social welfare service sector in Korea is `facility-oriented` one; on the other hand, `service-oriented` in Japan. It means that, as intermediate inputs to produce social welfare service, greater deal of foods and drugs has been used than those of Korea. Second, in Korea, the social insurance sector which can reduce labor input as informahtion has a large part of portion on labor in the added value than that of Japan. On the contrary, social welfare sector which needs necessarily manpower input is reversed. From the findings of the paper it could be emphasized that a policy maker in Korea should put more efforts on shifting the current facility-oriented production structure to provide `true` social welfare service and on improving the allocation efficiency of manpower among sectors.
