ABSTRACT

Class has been the factor that affects welfare attitudes in western societies. But the results of the studies on affects of class in Korea are not consistent. This Study focuses on the relations between three class variables-income, status in employment,occupation-and the Korean attitudes on welfare policy and examines the regulating effects of education on that. Attitudes on welfare policy consist of ‘reinforcement of established welfare programs’, ‘expansion into new welfare area’ and ‘universalism in welfare policy.’The result shows that all three class variables, education and age do not affect the attitudes to ‘reinforcement of established welfare programs.’ Age and class variables affects the attitudes to ‘expansion into new welfare area’ statistically, but education does not. Education explains largest parts of the attitudes to ‘universalism in welfare policy.’
