ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to identify young Koreans’ welfare consciousness types and further analyze the factors which impact each type of welfare consciousness. Results from the latent class analysis indicate four distinct welfare consciousness types: residual welfare with high funding levels cluster(29.5%), residual welfare cluster(26.9%), institutional welfare cluster(27.6%), and institutional welfare with low funding levels cluster(16%). Results from the logistic regression indicate that social factors(institutional and individual trust, awareness about social conflict and democracy) have a stronger impact on welfare consciousness than individual factors(subjective class consciousness). The higher the levels of institutional and individual trust, the lower the probability of one belonging to the institutional welfare with low funding levels cluster. Additional effort at the social level shall be required to improve both institutional and individual trust in order to develop a sustainable welfare state. Policy implications are further discussed.
