Familial foundations of the welfare statebuilding the national health insurance systems in South Korea and Taiwan /[electronic resource] :by Hye Suk Wang. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - xv, 151 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1. Introduction -- 2. Welfare Politics: Building Welfare Institutions -- 3. (De-) Familialization in Social Policy in East Asia -- 4. Historical Development of NHI in S. Korea: Why not Equal Protection for Female Workers' Families? -- 5. Historical Development of NHI in Taiwan: De-familialization Path of Welfare Politics -- 6. Conclusion.

This book situates culture as a determining factor in the development of diverse welfare states, exploring the impact of traditional familialism on South Korean and Taiwanese programs. This approach provides an important alternative to studies that focus on formal variables- such as industrialization, state intervention, and resource mobilization- that do not explain the key differences between the similar programs. Throughout this book, Wang looks into both the historical development and the present situation of medical welfare programs in South Korea and Taiwan, and she highlights the importance of families in these programs' development. As East Asian societies continue to age while experiencing fewer births, the search for the most suitable, sustainable, and desirable welfare model in each country will become ever more pressing. Academics and practitioners alike will find this refreshing approach to analysis ideal for building welfare institutions that reflect societal values in addition to economic conditions.
