한국인의 복지의식 결정요인 연구: 국가의 공적책임에 대한 태도를 중심으로 = A Study on The Determinants of Koreans` Welfare Consciousness: Focusing on State`s Responsibilities upon Public Agenda

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study purports to empirically examine the potential effect of the level of social trust on their welfare consciousness level. Although previous studies in the field have focused on socio-economic or class-oriented variables, the accumulated results have shown that the effects were inconsistent at best in Korean context. In order to overcome the limits of theoretical assumptions from mainstream Marxists and institutionalists, this study suggests the relative autonomy of social consciousness and its independent effect on welfare consciousness. The analysis shows that both foundational variables, income levels and labor market participation, and the level of social trust have significant impacts upon the respondents` level of welfare consciousness.
