An Analysis of Research Trends in the Welfare Administration Field

Soo Jung Go; Kim, Soon Yang

The purpose of this study is to examine trends in articles on welfare administration, published in Korean Society and Public Administration from the first issue in 1990 through 2012. While a total of 863 articles were published in the given period, 70 social welfare-related articles were selected for further investigation, which used network text analysis. The results reveal a rapid increase in the number of published articles on welfare administration from the Roh, Moo-hyun government onwards. The same time period has also seen increased emphasis on client-centered research. When it comes to the network text analysis, the KrKwic program was used to analyze the centrality of research keywords. ‘Welfare’ was set as a central axis, while ‘policy’, ‘female’, ‘social insurance system’, ‘welfare expenditure’, and ‘quality of service’ were set as small central axes. In terms of presidential regimes, the period of the Kim Dae-jung government saw the emergence of female-focused research and studies about the welfare paradigm. Meanwhile, during the Roh, Moo-hyun government, the second central axis was ‘social’, and the main topics were the quality of social services, welfare facilities, and child care services. During the period of the Lee Myung-bak government, the central research keyword changed to ‘society’, and researches began to appear about multi-culturalism, especially multi-cultural families and female immigrants.
