The purpose of this study is to identify the context and pattern of Korea's self-sufficiency program based on the experiences of self-sufficiency program practitioner. To this end, this study applied the context-pattern analysis method, which was known as one of the qualitative research approaches, to provide proper and effective evaluations of self-sufficiency program. The analysis shows that the context of the self-sufficiency program consists of such sub-contextual components as 'market economy', 'social service system', 'self-sufficiency system', 'self-sufficiency program', 'self-sufficiency program participant', 'procedural experiences of the program', 'outcomes of self-sufficiency program', and 'meaning of the self-sufficiency program'. Furthermore, such patterns as 'decreased vitality of self-sufficiency system', 'service flow', 'journey to the self-sufficiency', and 'sequences to small success', were also presented. Based on these findings, this study suggests policy and practice implications, and subsequent related research topics.

This study examines the costs and benefits of Korean Self-Support Program of the National Basic Livelihood Security Act. A cost-benefit analysis is used to evaluate the efficiency of the Self-Support program. According to the analysis, the program has net value for society as a whole as well as for the average participant although the result is sensitive to the assumption of forgone earnings. The results of an alternative perspective also show that the increased exit rates (and employment rates) of participants will increase the benefits of the program substantially.

The purpose of this study was to understand how participants' experiences of participating in self-sufficiency projects were. To do this, we analyzed phenomenological methods using in-depth interview data of 48 participants from the Central Self-Sufficiency Foundation, which is qualitative data of the "Project for Strengthening Self-Support for the Working Poor". The study revealed 214 meaningful statements and general re-statements, 24 themes, 9 themes cluster, and 5 categories. Participants' experience was found to be forced work, felt alienated from the self-sufficiency business, and could not receive a clear vision for the future. At the same time, the experience of participating is an opportunity for motivation for change in one's own life, and the essence of becoming a stepping stone to move forward for self-reliance has been derived. Based on the results of this study, we proposed a practical policy task to create a positive expectation effect.

Characteristic of participants in the self-support program has an intrinsic attribute that has not changed strongly depending on time, as age, sex, and education. By investigating the characteristic of participants in the self-support program related to the self-support outcome, it becomes possible to both set up target groups and give effective self-support programs. This research analyzed the effect of the characteristics of participants in the self-support program to the self-support outcome by General Linear Models(GLM). The results showed that education, self-support program type, region, poverty, age, child protection, sex variables affected self-support outcome by main effects and interaction effects. There was different in pattern of self-support outcome depending on characteristics variables of participants, so it is necessary to make the self-support program in detail fit into characteristics of participants.

This study explores the moderating effects of economic stress in the relationship between organizational devotion and emotional self-sufficiency of the self-sufficient program participants. 698 persons who lived in Taegu participated in this study. Multiple regression analysis was adopted. Results indicate that higher level of organizational devotion is positively related to the higher self-sufficiency. In addition, economic stress moderated the effect of organizational devotion on emotional self-sufficiency. Practical implications of this study are two folds; One is that in order to increase emotional self-sufficiency, sense of community should be put into consideration; The other is that approach for decreasing economic stress should be included in the program for self-sufficiency. Overall, this study lays a groundwork for the self-sufficiency of the participants in the self-sufficient program.

Although self-sufficiency program participants' alcohol problem is widely recognized among social workers in the field, it has not been received much attention. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between alcohol problem and self sufficiency among the participants. A total of 281 participants were participated in this study. Significant relationships between alcohol problem and self sufficiency were not found in bivariate analysis. However, the moderating effect of alcohol problem on the relationship between the length of participation and willingness for self sufficiency was statistically significant. Among the participants with alcohol problem, the length of participation was positively related to willingness for self sufficiency. The result on the moderating effect of alcohol problem on the relationship between the length of participation and willingness for self sufficiency has been never mentioned in previous studies.

본 연구에서는 자활근로사업과 자활공동체사업 참여자를 대상으로 자립의지, 자아존중감, 사회자본 정도와 자활사업 참여집단간의 차이를 분석하고자 한다. 또한 자활근로사업과 자활공동체사업 참여자의 자립의지에 영향을 미치는 개인적 특성요인과 사회자본의 영향력을 비교 분석하고자 한다. 분석결과, 자활근로사업 참여자의 자립의지에 대한 회귀분석 결과, 연령대(B=.228), 건강상태(B=.097), 자아존중감(B=.233), 사회자본(B=.184)이 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 자활공동체 참여자의 자립의지에는 유의미한 변수가 나타나지 않았다.

This study set out to investigate implementation agency effect on participants' self-sufficiency in self-support program. Self-support program's implementation agency consist of civil groups and social welfare corporations. The final sample size was 602 program participants and 18 implementation agencies in Gwangju city, South Korea. Two-level hierarchical linear model was used for analysis. The major findings of this study are as follows. First, civil groups' participants were healthier, more often participated in business model, earned higher monthly income, participated shorter time rather than participants in social welfare corporation. Second, civil groups' participants showed low level of self-sufficiency than participants in social welfare corporations. These results means that self-support policy is not delivered uniformly because front-line implementation agencies develop work habits that influence the outcome of policy. And limitations and implications of this study were discussed with respect to further studies.

This study analyzed the changes of welfare and labor market status of participants of Self-sufficiency Support Program in Korea thorough of analysis follow-up data which were collected about the experiences and changes of participants of the program in Gyeonggi province in 2005. As the results, many of participants exited from the program within five years, and hardly anyone depends on the welfare or the program, also there is very little the revolving door phenomenon. Whatever, the program have positive effects the changes of welfare and labor market status of them. Also, self-sufficiency communities, the small enterprises are started by more two participants and aim the economic independence of them and contribution to social economy have played important role for their persistent work and economic self-reliance. The people exited from the program, however, hardly succeed in exit from the welfare and their economic conditions still are not good. Therefore, we have to arrange the program for the participants' self-sufficiency, and we rather have to effort to secure their economic well-being than emphasize the immediately employment or establishment a business.
