이 시대 ‘복지국가’의 쓸모?! ‘불평등’ 문제 해결을 위한 제언

초록

The welfare state is a national scheme to ensure the individual survival and basic living cost through the collective methods as a result of the compromise among the ‘labor-state-capital’. It is based on both the pursuit of full employment in standardized male workers in charge of the production and the support of the patriarchal family structure for the reproduction and maintenance of the labor force. This Keynesian welfare state that entered the liquid modernity began to shake. Technological innovation has brought a reduction of the typical workers and an increase of the ‘precariat’. The capital has been able to secure cheap labor anywhere without cooperation of the working class due to the Globalization. The traditional working class that supported the welfare state had collapsed while a fruit of the ‘growth without wage’ is concentrated to the company. The ‘uncertainty’ and ‘instability’ that was characterized by diversity and liquidity features in the era of personalization also began to emerged together as the crack and erosive progression in the solidity of modern society. The paper proposed a ‘Global Basic Income’ as an alternative means to solve the inequalityproblem and concerns of the use of the welfare state. The plan is for the revival of ‘equal society’ through the establishment and gradual diffusion of new re/distribution structure. It would expand the ‘real freedom’ of individual and ensure the ‘equal opportunity’.
