ABSTRACT

This article aims at explaining what streams have affected the reform by analyzing the reform process of government employees pension in 2015 through Kingdon's multiple streams framework even though it resulted in a parametric reform. Results show that the problem stream has been made for a long time because the problem of the budget deficit of government employees pension has appeared since 1990s, but prior reforms have failed to resolve it. In particular, time of development of politics and policy streams was not clearly divided despite all streams should be independent since the reform was done for a relatively short period of time upon the incident of the vessel 'Sewol'. Also, the process for alternatives to remain has been reduced since many policy communities appeared. A political burden that reform should be complete no later than 2015 prior to the general election scheduled in 2016, built a strong politics stream, and as a result, Saenuri Party inevitably became a strong policy entrepreneur with the president. The reasons for the reform, which was complete for a short period of time through compromises with multiple stakeholders, are that politics stream was strong and definite policy entrepreneurs facilitated a policy change.
