1. Overview of Korean Welfare Budget
Factors Underlying Welfare Spending Growth
1. Population aging Public pensions Health-care spending
2. Deteriorating income distribution Transfers & training for disadvantaged
Korea faces “rich-country” problems, but without the “riches” to cope yet

3. Welfare Planning as Forecasting
Threats to Stable Fiscal Management: Social & political pressures in late 1990s forced very
large and unforeseen jumps in welfare spending To restore stability to fiscal management:
Better forecasting of welfare needs & costs (MTEF) Avoid large sudden shifts in intersectoral resource allocatio
n by anticipating welfare requirementsTop-down approach to budgeting
Enforce spending envelope and improve predictability Delegate details of social welfare management

3. Welfare Planning as Forecasting
Dual nature of long-term forecasts Projections: Best guess, ensuring needs are met (MTEF) Spending ceilings/targets: Allocation decisions (Top-down)

4. Planning vs. Budgeting
Different Pressures on Welfare BudgetingLong-term pressures driven mainly by
pensions and health care (may approach 20% of GDP by 2030) Immediate pressure from low-income
and disadvantaged groups for more social assistance

4. Planning vs. Budgeting
Reconciling Long-term Projections and Annual BudgetsOld approach: Line-item, bottom-up,
incremental budgeting (full control)New approach: Top-down,
incremental budgeting (partial control)Different from full autonomy: Top-down,
program-oriented budgeting with autonomy within spending envelopes (programs)

Final Remarks
Need to improve capacity for long-term policy analysis (at least several decades) Hampered by lack of both analytical
techniques and extensive, detailed statistical data on socioeconomic and biomedical factors
Referring to other countries’ experiences may be second-best alternative Korea’s welfare spending in 2030 will be
roughly equivalent to OECD average circa 2000.
Caution: population aging and welfare growth can be quicker than in “forerunner” countries
