This study is an exploratoryㆍdescriptiveㆍexplanatory case study on the
decision-making process of the Seongnam City Youth Dividend Policy, a part of
youth welfare policy. The purpose of this study is to analyze in-depth the
decision-making process of the Seongnam City Youth Dividend Policy. To
achieve this, the Systemic Advocacy Coalition Framework(SACF) of Il Jae
Kim(2013) was applied according to the case study methods of Yin(2003). The
results of the study are as follows:
First is the input stage. As three streams of problemsㆍpoliticsㆍpolicies
became an issue with the introduction of youth dividends, our society's existent
stream of problems met the political condition-changing politics stream both
home and aborad, and was reformed into the policies stream by Seongnam City
mayor Jaemyung Lee.
Second is the conversion stage. Initiated by experts, basic income concepts
were introduced into the youth dividend project, and it became an interaction
agent between the three streams. When the three streams were combined, the
project was set as an agenda by the Seongnam City Municipal Assembly in
November 2015. As a policy entrepreneur, Mayor Lee combined the three
streams during an important period-after the policy window opened, he strove
to act on his core beliefs. Local government officials in charge contributed to
making youth dividend policy an agenda by cooperating with experts. During
this stage, the Universal Welfare Coalition which pursues practical libertarianism,
and the Selective Welfare Coalition which pursues neo-liberalism, disagreed and
opposed each other regarding their beliefs and interests over the policy. Small
businesses formed a coalition defending their right to existence and
enthusiastically supported the youth dividend policy. As a policy broker,
Gyeonggi Provincial Governor Gyeongpil Nam chose to defer to the Supreme
Court, divided between his position as the Saenuri Republican Party
Organization Leader and his duty to integrate Gyeonggi Province as Governor.
Third is the output stage. After the youth dividend policy regulations were
passed in the municipal assembly, Seongnam gift certificates were distributed to
all 24-year-old youth living in Seongnam for over three years, starting on
January 2016. The amount was 125,000 won each quarter, 50% of the amount
specified in the regulations. The Seongnam City Youth Dividend Policy sought
social integration of the youth generation while opting for a virtuous circulation
method, where the local economy is vitalized which leads to the stability of the
youth dividend policy. Social welfare practitioners passed on the policy while
youth put the policy into practice.
Fourth is the evaluation stage. The youth dividend policy reached a
distribution rate of 94% demonstrating the high support of the youth class. The
policy was however disputed from the start by central government branches and
Gyeonggi Province because of its procedural legitimacy. They claimed for local
subsidy reduction because the policy did not undergo prior consultation. Mayor
Lee criticized these claims, saying that such arguments, in accordance with the
Local Government Act, deface the local government and abuse the authority of
the Fundamental Social Security Act.
Fifth is the feedback stage. In December 2016, the Seongnam City Youth
Dividend Policy was strengthened by additionally distributing 50% of reserve
funds set apart in preparation for local subsidy reduction by the central
government. However, it could not expand more because plans for yearly
increasing target age group variety failed. In the new streams of problemsㆍ
politicsㆍpolicies, the reinforced and preserved policy re-entered the input stage
on January 20th, 2017.
Unlike previous youth policies focused on selective welfare, the Seongnam
City Youth Dividend Policy is founded on basic income which is closer to social
allowance. It is becoming a consensus as a plan to realize youth welfare as well
as universal welfare. Also, youth in danger of social exclusion are experiencing
an opportunity to realize social integration. In order for such youth dividends to
spread nationwide, social welfare practitioners must play a pivotal role.
