영국의 가족지원(supporting families)정책에 관한 연구:신노동당 정부를 중심으로 = Supporting Families Strategy in the UK: The Case of New Labour Government

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Since 1997, the UK has developed policies to address the issue of supporting families on the basis of the social investment perspective. This study examines significations which important to promote for supporting family through analysis about the effects and limitations of family support strategies. The guiding principles set out have also been applied to policies for families with children, such as financial support, work/life balance, support for family problems and so on. In brief, the government’s effort to reduce child poverty, to balance work and life, and to extend childcare services can be evaluated as successful, despite some limitations. In order to meet the needs of family and their members, more progress is needed.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

영국은 최근 우리 사회에서 그 적용이 논의되고 있는 사회투자국가론을 선도적으로 실천했던 나라로, 본 연구에서는 영국의 경험을 가족지원정책을 중심으로 그 내용을 분석 및 평가하여 그것이 우리에게 주는 시사점을 모색해 보고자 한다. 영국은 사회투자적 성격을 갖는 가족지원정책을 통하여 아동의 빈곤율을 낮추었고 획기적인 보육전략을 수립하여 부모의 선택권을 보장하였으며, 적극적이고 가족친화적인 노동시장 정책을 통하여 궁극적으로는 미래 사회의 주역이 될 아동들의 건강한 발달을 도모하는데 기여하고 있다고 평가받고 있다. 물론 빈곤감소, 고용증대, 보육확대 등 여러 분야에서 한계를 안고 있는 것은 사실이지만, 인적자원에 대한 투자, 근로활성화 제도의 도입, 사전 예방적 투자 등의 중요성은 우리에게 시사하는 바가 크다.
