Professor Bok-gi Kim from the School of Law at Seoul National University (SNU Law) gave a speech at NTU Law on the topic: “Social Security Law as a Portrait of a Society –Three Episodes from the Republic of Korea.” Professor Kim explained the Korean social security law from three aspects: public assistance, social insurance, and social welfare. He then focused on the aspect of public assistance, and raised three key issues faced by the Korean society today.

The first issue is “lonely death.” Professor Kim pointed out that the traditional value of looking after the elderly is declining in the society. He subsequently explained the circumstances under which families are required to take care of their elderly, in accordance with the Korean laws protecting the fundamental right to survival.

The second problem is “the aging society.” According to Professor Kim, Korea now faces the challenges of an aging population, low birth rates and slow economic growth, all of which call for a sustainable social welfare system. He suggested the government to reform the national pension system and encourage child birth, as well as take the initiative to provide elderly care and promote youth employment. However, there are certainly obstacles to overcome. Reforming the pension system may lead to fiscal crises, violate the constitution, or restrict the freedom of legislation. To address youth unemployment, Korea has passed an act, which mandates that at least 3% of the employees hired by the government-owned organizations should be formerly jobless young people. This act, however, faced a constitutional challenge. The court eventually decided that it does not conflict with the constitution as it aims to promote economic growth and social security.

Finally, Professor Kim mentioned the issue of “affirmative action,” discussing the concepts of substantive equality and reverse discrimination. The example he raised was the Korean act protecting the right to employment of the visually impaired. Under this act, only those with visual impairments are qualified for the massage therapist certification. There were constitutional disputes over whether this act violates people’s right to free choice of employment. The court, however, decided that this act is constitutional in 2008. The reasoning behind the ruling is that massage therapist is the only possible occupation for the visually challenged, and thus the act can protect their livelihood as well as achieve substantive equality.

How is the Korean society going to meet all these challenges? Professor Kim believes that the government should first address the problems of polarizing age groups of the Korean population, and further establish a social welfare system that is sustainable in an aging society. The speech ended with an interesting discussion between Professor Kim and the panelist Professor Sieh-chuen Huang on the challenges faced by families in Taiwan, Korean as well as many other countries with an aging population.

首爾國立大學法學院金福基教授於5/6來本院演講，主題為「Social Security Law as a Portrait of a Society –Three Episodes from the Republic of Korea」，從公共援助、社會保險、社會福利三個方面，深入淺出地介紹了韓國的社會安全法，並針對公共援助的部分提出韓國所面臨的三個重大議題。

首先是關於「孤獨死」的問題。金教授點出儒家「老有所養」的傳統觀念正逐漸弱化，並說明家庭責任需求於國家基本生存安全法中的資格標準。

接著，金教授就「高齡化」議題，指出韓國目前面臨老年化、低生育率和低經濟成長率等挑戰，亟需在高齡化社會中建立可持續下去的社會福利制度。他建議政府改革年金退休金、鼓勵生育，並負起責任提供老人照護、提高年輕人就業率。推行這些改革絕非易事，年金方面可能會遭遇財政危機、憲法挑戰（如信賴保護、溯及禁止）、立法形成自由等問題；在青年就業方面，韓國雖有青年就業分配法案，規定公營企業及機構應聘僱至少3%的失業年輕人，然而這個法案曾引起違憲爭議。憲法法庭由於該法案旨在提升經濟，解決青年就業問題及社會安全，仍判定法案合憲。

最後，金教授提到了弱勢族群的「平權法案（積極措施、優惠性差別待遇）」，點出實質平等與逆向歧視的問題。他舉出韓國視障者就業保護法為例。這個法案規定只有視障者可以取得按摩職照，導致侵害其他非視障者的職業自由之違憲爭議。2008年韓國憲法法院宣告為合憲，理由是按摩業可能是視障者唯一可能的職業，基於保障他們生計，有必要採取優惠性措施，以達到實質平等；但反對者認為，這個規定與憲法保障最低限度之基本權原則相衝突，侵害公益，不合於立法目的。

韓國社會如何面對未來的挑戰？金教授認為首先應該克服年齡兩極化的不平等，再來就是確保在高齡化社會中建立可持續的社會福利制度。與談人黃詩淳教授也針對台灣高齡化社會所面臨之家庭問題進行討論，並與韓國及其他國家相互比較。
