ABSTRACT

The main purpose of the study is to analyze the efficiency of welfare service in local governments. Twenty three local governments in Gyeong-buk were selected for measuring and comparing welfare efficiency. For this study, local governments were divided it three group by population scale. The DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis) is applied for comparing efficiency of local governments. The result of the study shows that all governments are efficient in first group or second group. On the other hand, four governments in third group have a little lower welfare efficiency than the others. In conclusion, each governments differs in welfare efficiency, in line with population scale. Therefore, they must reflect population scale to raise efficiency in welfare policy. For it, we suggest adjusting the size of input and output of welfare service.
