Yang Ok-kyung et al.: Unification and Social Welfare

Everything About Social Welfare on a Unified Korean Peninsula: Unification Social Welfare Viewed from the Perspective of ‘Human Integration.’ Based on the fundamental premise of ‘human integration’ in a post-unification society, this book presents the direction the field of unification social welfare should pursue and examines specific methods for systems and practice by sector. With the holding of three inter-Korean summits in 2018, consensus on the necessity of preparing for unification is growing. Unification must begin with an interest in the ‘people’ living in a unified society; accordingly, social welfare, which guarantees people’s basic living standards, is a field that must be treated with great importance in preparing for a unified society. Written under this premise, this book focuses on concrete social welfare practices to be implemented in a unified society from the perspective of ‘human integration.’ Featuring contributions from experts in various social welfare disciplines as well as North Korea specialists, this book serves as the first comprehensive research work in the field of unification social welfare, providing answers to general issues regarding both theory and practice. Above all, it holds practical significance in that it focuses on concrete practices to be carried out in a unified society, making it a practical resource for establishing welfare policies after unification. Unification Social Welfare Viewed from the Perspective of ‘Integration of People’ In 2018, three inter-Korean summits were held. Through these three summits—the April summit in which the ‘Panmunjom Declaration’ was announced, the May summit in which the leaders of the two Koreas met without long-term behind-the-scenes contact, and the September summit in which the promise made in April was realized—South and North Korea announced to the world that a new inter-Korean relationship was beginning.
