ABSTRACT

This paper aims at analysing the institutional mechanism of the multi-pillar restructuringin the Korean pension system. Since the national pension system wasintroduced in 1988, its replacement rate was sharply retrenched from 70% to 40% ofthe average income level. Also, adding to the national pension, the basic old-agepension and the basic pension were introduced in 2007 and 2014 respectively. Despite of these crucial changes, however, the unitary public pension system mainlybased on the national pension was not fundamentally changed. This paper putan emphasis on the interaction between environment, institution, and actors andfocuses on the effect of actor’s strategy on the institutional change. In addition, italso focuses on the role of ‘veto point’ and ‘discretion in interpretation/enforcement’as variables affecting actors’ strategy. As s result, this paper argues that the institutionalchange in the Korean pension system is explained not by ‘policy conversion’,but by ‘policy layering’.
