초록

본 연구는 사회경제적 구조변화에 따른 빈곤형태의 변화를 고찰하고 신빈곤층의 탈빈곤을 위한 정책
을 모색하는데 목적이 있다. 그동안 빈곤정책은 노령, 실업, 장애, 질병 등 노동능력 상실과 관련된 절
대빈곤층에 초점을 두어 왔다. 그러나 경제위기 후 증가하는 빈곤의 특성은 노동시장 참여가 더 이상
탈빈곤의 요인으로 작용하지 않게 되었다. 본 연구는 근로빈민을 대상으로 경제위기이후 경제상황변
화, 복지상황, 사회적 위험에 대한 경험 및 대응방식에 대해 경험적으로 조사하고 이를 기반으로 탈빈
곤정책을 모색하고자 하였다. 연구결과 근로빈민층은 경제위기이후 실업, 소득감소 등 다양한 형태의
사회적 위험을 경험했으며 불안정한 고용상황, 취약한 복지상황을 보여주고 있으며 이를 기반으로 탈
빈곤정책으로 소득안정정책, 직업훈련 및 기술교육정책, 적극적인 사회복지정책 등을 제시하였다.

The object of the study is to examine the change of social-economic structure and
poverty-shape to escape poverty. In Korea, the working poor have been increased by
flexibility and division of labor market since the economic crisis in 1997, and are
faced with hard conditions due to the vulnerable welfare system. Especially the
workers who engage in irregular jobs were increased by restructure of labor market.
Besides they are in unstable employment terms such as low payment, low-skill and
exclusion from welfare-benefit. Many small independent businessmen are also in
danger of poverty for enterprises trend to move abroad by globalization. Poverty
policy in our country was focused on the absolute poor class that has relation with
old age, unemployment, disable, disease etc, so they were the object of welfare
policy. The poverties, however, are increasing rapidly after the economic crisis, and
they work so hard but are still poor, that is, participation in labor market doesn't
become an element to escape poverty. Thus the emergence of new poverties whose
core consists of the working poor becomes to need new poverty policy. The study is
to survey change of their economic conditions, their welfare conditions, their
experiences and responses of social dangers after the economic crisis, then to explore
the policy to escape poverty. As the result of the study, it shows that the working
poor experienced many kinds of social dangers like unemployment, decrease of
income etc. In their welfare conditions as their responses to the social dangers, the
benefit of social insurance, enterprise welfare like legal retirement pay and paid leave
and private welfare such as private pension and insurance are low. The working
poor are faced with social dangers, moreover, they don't have skill or education for
adapting themselves to information society. The study says that it needs variable
policies for the working poor to escape poverty, and suggests payment & tax policies
as stable income policy, occupational discipline and skill-education for promoting the
quality of employment, moreover, social insurance as expansion of social welfare
policy and housing & education policies whose objects are the working poor.
