Keynesian welfare state has been declined since 1970. This tendency was based on the changing paradigm of welfare state. A transfer of welfare state paradigm was mainly caused by the neo-liberism ideology which focus on diminution of welfare state's functions and emphasize on free enterprise. Especially, This trend has been closely related with workfare or welfare to work policy.
This study has two major purpose. The first one is to compare the Labor market policy of the United States, Germany, and Sweden by the frame of Esping-Anderson who studied the distinctive welfare regimes: Liberal, Conservative, and Social democratic welfare state regimes. Each nation is the representative of unique welfare statle regimes.
This study is mainly focused on the comparative analysis on the three countries, the United States, Germany, and Sweden. The framework for the analysis is adapted by Esping Anderson to compare the labor market policy of the United States, Germany, and Sweden by the frame of Esping-Anderson who studied the distinctive welfare regimes: Liberal, Conservative, and Social democratic welfare state regimes. Each nation is the representative of unique welfare state regime.
In the discussion, result of the comparison across three different countries will show some implications for Korean social welfare policy to develop about the different labor market policy of Korea.
In order to accomplish such propose, this study constructed three aspects such as features of Labor market policy, operating system, and the results of Labor market policy. Among these three aspects, especially, the results of Labor market policy were comprised of five indications: unemployment rate, early retirement rate, the dualism of Labor market, poverty rate and the degree of income inequality.
According to the analysis of comparative study, representative countries like the United States, Germany and Sweden have its own charateristic of Labor market structure and policy. Moreover, this difference was based on its unique social, economic and cultural conditions. The results of this study were as follows.
First, the low level of de-commodification could be seen in Labor market of the United States. To put it more precise, the Labor market system deeply rely on the free market economy. As a result of this study, aggravation of dualism in Labor market and income inequality cause a serious poverty problems of working poor in the United States.
Second, a high level of de-commodification and moderate Labor market policy were kept in Germany. However, the problems of inside/outside in Labor market have been so serious that outsider who can not participate in Labor market has experienced social exclusion and poverty.
Finally, the most typical welfare state, Sweden still has been maintained a high quailty of de-commodification. In other words, the Swedish could have lived free from a worry of counting on Labor market. Moreover, in contrast to the United States, most people in Sweden can participate in Labor market regardless of sex. Women's Labor force in Labor market, especially, in public employment show us this features. Such a high level of participation in Sweden could be possible because of Active Labor Market Policy(ALMP). In addition, social solidarity was also another key role for maintaining the Swedish Labor market policy.
In conclusion, throughout comparative study on the Labor market policy of the United States, Germany and Sweden, I could draw a meaningful results for Korean Labor market policy as followed.
On the one hand, features of Labor market policy, operating system, and the results of Labor market policy in Korea were based on the mixture of numerous ideologies such as liberism, Conservatism and traditional Confucianism etc. Therefore, the Labor market policy of Korea could not have consistant pattern.
On the other hand, Labor market policy of Korea should have its own style. This is a matter of identity and is very important to seek for the direction of Labor market policy in Korea.
