The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the characteristic of "the productive welfare policy" that has been implemented in the Kim Dae-jung government. In order to attain this goal, the paper regards activation and workfare as alternative endpoints on a policy continuum, between which are a wide range of programmes that provide employment. The question of where "the productive welfare policy" of the Kim government should be put on the continuum is then discussed. The paper finds that the reforms of the social security system taken place in the Kim government have contained characteristics of both activation and workfare. While activation is concerned with strengthening income security, workfare is sought by requiring work for benefit. As for the current labour market policy, though "the productive welfare policy" emphasizes human capital development, the government has put its priority on the passive labour market programme of providing unemployment benefits rather than the active programme of job training and education. Primarily, the Kim government has tried to increase labour flexibility for maintaining long-term employment. Consequently, "the productive welfare policy" can be best described as Korean workfare.
