Abstract
|
|
|
|
Australia, as a traditional country of migration, has been a benchmark country for humanitarian immigration program and the settlement policies for refugees. As refugees have emerged as a social issue in Korea, increased attention has been being paid to them by Korean scholars. However, research on social security for social inclusion of refugees is only at an embryonic stage. This study sheds light on the policy experience of Australia, which has been lesser-known to Korea, with an aim to draw implications for the design and implementation of the social security system. Australia's social security provides an exemplary policy case in terms of systematic assistance for settlement of refugees and their full access to income security and health services. But, it also presents challenges and threats to employment and social inclusion through community living. This future-proofing study provides an opportunity to reflect Korean policy situations and is expected to support a strategic decision making for inclusive social security for refugees.
