Universalism and selectivism about welfare polices are a point at issue that is being discussed consistently. This issue is mainly discussed as the object of political selection because the selection of welfare polices are thought of discretionary powers. But welfare policies are issue of the constitutional value order. Therefore studies are need in this viewpoint. Accordingly this paper studied the aim of welfare policies to be based of social state ideology. Therefore this paper found the adequacy of selective universalism. Furthermore, This paper shows a distinguishing standard to select the welfare policies in selective universalism.

This study analyzed the change of the Korean welfare regime during the conservative government. It is clear that the welfare expanded during the conservative government, but this expansion was the process of realizing the constraint of expansion that reduces future welfare expenditure in Korea. In addition, as the public welfare centered on social insurance expanded after 10 years of liberal government, the backward selectivity of the Korean welfare regime strengthened in the conservative administration. Expanding social insurance itself does not reinforce the backward selectivity of the Korean welfare regime. However, the industrial structure created by the export-led growth system has intensified the fragmentation of the labor market, and expanding social insurance designed based on regular workers under these conditions has forced the backward selectivity of the social security system. It is for this reason that the backward selectivity has been reinforced during the conservative government.

The purpose of the study was to review literature on universal and residual services of early family-intervention. The review was focused on early family-intervention cases proven effective in empowering children, parents and families, which, in turn, brought about positive synergy effects to the community at large. Literature review was presented in the following order: first, the universal needs for early family-intervention; second, critical components and strategies of early family-intervention for successful outcomes; third, on-going international projects of early family-intervention, both universal and residual services, proven effective on a long-term basis. In conclusion, findings of the study were summarized and the theoretical, practical and political implications for Korean society were further discussed.

Universalism has received a considerable amount of attention in recent discussion of Korea welfare state. This paper explores tensions between universal, selective and residual welfare policies in Korea. It argues that selective welfare policies are useful allies for developing the universal welfare state. At the same time, principles of universalism are always formed in particular socioeconomic and historical contexts, and reflect the solidarity of various social stratifications or classes. This implies that the principles must be regarded as open to contestation, reformulation and change. The way to develope universal welfare state in Korea shouldn't follow the path observed in the Western welfare states. Korean society needs to find its own principles and path to develop a universal welfare state.

This study purports to explore potential determinants of welfare attitudes toward universalism vs selectivism. For this purpose, literature review upon such subjects as definitions of universalism and selectivism and welfare attitudes has been done. The hierarchical regression analyses show several major results. First and foremost, the effects of those variables such as political orientation and attitudes toward free education and gratuitous child care, categorized as political-social stance were found to be significant. However, it was unexpected results that those variables which have been found signigicant in predicting welfare attitudes in previous literature, that is to say age, education and economic status especially were not to be found significant in predicting welfare attitudes toward universalism vs selectivism. There could be many underlying causes for this result including measurement errors, and this study strongly speculates that the division between universalism vs selectivism itself exists only both in purely conceptual level and in political rhetoric and therefore, universalism or selectivism as people's consistent and logical attitudes or consciousness may simply not exist at all.

혼인과 사망에 관한 연구 대부분은 혼인상태에 있는 사람이 혼인상태에 있지 않은 사람보다 더 건강하게 오래 산다는 사실을 보여준다. 그 이유는 선별효과와 보호 효과로 설명된다. 선별 효과에 의하면, 건강한 사람이 쇠약한 사람보다 혼인할 가능성이 높다. 그 결과, 독신자 집단은 유배우자 집단에 비해 병약한 사람들이 전체 집단에서 차지하는 비율이 높아 더 높은 사망률을 보인다. 보호효과는 혼인이라는 유대를 통해 배우자들이 건강할 때나 아플 때나 서로의 건강을 염려해 주고 또 경제적 그리고 정신적 문제로 인한 스트레스와 스트레스에 관련된 병을 감소시켜, 혼인상태에 있는 사람들의 사망률을 혼인 상태에 있지 않은 사람들의 사망률보다 낮춰 준다는 것이다. 이 연구에서, 우리는 혼인상태의 은퇴 고령 남성이 독신상태의 은퇴 고령 남성과 유의미한 사망률 차이를 보이지 않지만, 이혼하거나 별거하거나 혹은 배우자가 사망한 상태의 은퇴 고령남성보다는 낮은 사망률을 보인다는 사실을 발견했다. 비록 선별효과를 입증해 보여주지는 못했지만. 혼인을 통한 재정적 복지가 은퇴 고령 남성의 사망에 영향을 미치는 경험적 증거는 발견하였다. 중간 소득과 저소득 사이의 은퇴 고령 남성에서 나타나는 사망률 차이는 그들 건강상태의 차이로 나타난다. 중간소득의 은퇴고령 남성이 저소득의 은퇴 고령 남성보다 약간 더 많은 재정적 복지를 통해 보다 나은 건강상태를 유지하고 그 결과 약간 더 낮은 사망률을 보인다. 반면 고소득의 은퇴한 고령남성에게는 혼인의 재정적 복지뿐 아니라 그들의 소득도 그들의 건강증진 및 사망률 저하에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 동일한 건강상태일지라도, 고소득의 은퇴 고령남과은 타 집단의 고령 남성보다 사망할 가능성이 낮았다.

What is the role of welfare discourse? Michel Foucault suggests the power and knowledge relation that power in a particular society and period controls the society and members by creating knowledge affecting the formation of cognitive and normative systems. Having the formation of exclusions(constraint of cognition), and materiality and reality(normative system) as an analytical framework, this article attempts the exploration of welfare discourse analyses with public statements relating to welfare subjects of the four former Korean presidents. As a result, It is found that dominant epistemic system is formed by balancing welfare and growth and regarding jobs as the best welfare(the linkage of welfare-growth-employment), emphasizing individual economic responsibility and self-reliance, pursuing welfare selectivism, and excluding comprehensive welfare provisions. At the same time, it is observed that power is not always formulating systematic knowledge and that there is a gap between cognition and norm. While the Foucauldian discourse analysis provides a causal inference about low social welfare expenditure, excessive focus on the role of power as knowledge generator and infuser causes a question of how to accommodate contemporary changes into knowledge system.

The aimed of the study was to investigate the referral rate of hearing screening for girls and boys senior high school in Gyeongsan and to consider the need for hearing screening. 359-girl and 205-boy were participated. Hearing screening was conducted tympanogram, automated otoacoustic emission(AOAE). Final referral rate was observed 9 girl (2.5%) and 19 boy (9.268%), respectively. There was no differences between boys and girls in tympanogram and AOAE. In conclusion, hearing screening for senior high school students needs to conduct tympanometry in order to screen hearing loss which is difficult to check through pure tone screening regardless of development of the Eustachian tube, and we need to make an effort to lower the false positive results.

This study purports to examine the potential effects of welfare attitudes of Korean people upon their political orientation. The 17^th Korea Welfare Panel Data(KWPD) in 2022 are used for this purpose. Independent variable include sex, age, education, interest in politics, and employment status. Discriminant analysis show several results. First and foremost, pre-established discriminant function works well for classification of respondents' liberal vs conservative stance. Secondly, except gender and dummy variable for temporary employed, all independent variables contribute significantly for the classification at a given significance level. . Finally, welfare attitudes of respondents', measured by universalism vs selectivism and the attitudes upon increasing tax for welfare expenditures are found to be significant and relatively big impacts upon dependent variable, compard to other variables in the model. The nature of causal relationship between welfare attitudes and political orientation remains for further study.

This research reviews the education welfare priority support project and analyzes its policy from the welfare-state perspective. This study evaluates the policy contents, overall procedures, and the changes in the perspectives of the project in accordance with the political power changes in the government, and illuminates future directions. For this, the research infers desirable typology of the welfare state, and analogizes the budget, the target population, key issues and delivery systems of the education welfare priority support project. Education welfare priority support project still remains to follow a selective and hierarchical business format, despite the legally stated initiatives, growing budget, and the expansion of the operation which has been governed by the policy makers. Particularly, the state of this project, and examine whether or not it has been distorted by the governmental emphasis on the educational outcomes and performance should continuously be examined as a future direction of the research. Finally, the study suggests several recommendations for the desirable anchorage of the project within the framework of being a prospective welfare state.
