The Study on Transformation of Family Structure and Orientation of Family Welfare in Korea
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to understand the characteristics of existing Korean family welfare in relation to the structure and features of traditional family as well as to search the orientation of family welfare based on an analysis of the structures and characteristics of rapidly changing family in contemporary period. Most recently, it is distinctly observed that the Korean family is transitioning from one of patrilineal to that of bilateral family structure. In accordance with this change, Korean family welfare needs to change from a type that requires the families to take care of their own elderly, children, disabled, or sick members by themselves while the government selectively supports the families that have problems in supportive abilities to a type that in which all families become the subject of welfare while the premise of normal families supporting their own members is abolished.
