Abstract
South Korea has been experiencing unemployment and poverty against the backdrop of globalization. The 1990s were a turning point in South Korea's economic and welfare policies, as the government introduced active labour market policies to create jobs and social policies to supplement the labour initiatives. This three-pronged approach is indicative of the South Korean government's strategy to link welfare programmes and labour market policies through the Employment Insurance, the National Basic Livelihood Security Program and Earned Income Tax Credit. In this article, we examine the welfare-work nexus in South Korea. We analyse the strengths and weaknesses of the welfare-work nexus in South Korea and offer suggestions for the future.
