This study tried to analyze themes related to the personal social services specifically in the respect of user choice, government responsibility and quality of job. By these criteria, this study scrutinized several areas: services for the disabled people, long-term care systems for the elderly, voucher schemes of social services and childcare services.
Through the analysis on these areas, this study found out that each area had different issues and problems. This study suggested several implications to the Korean social services. The most important one is that different services need different considerations because they each are in the different situations. The other suggestions included are the needs for: coordination between market-driven schemes and anti-market schemes, flexible applications of service contracting patterns depending on the specific context of each areas, securing linkage between public and private sides and constructing service quality management systems.
