This article overviews the problems of the 「Artists’ Welfare Act」 which is enacted in 2011 and the overcoming measures, from a comparative perspective with 「Act on the Development of Mass Culture and Art Industry」 which is enacted in 2014 rather than own point of 「Artists’ Welfare Act」. First, after comparing the concept of “Artist” from the 「Artists’ Welfare Act」 and the concept of “Artist of Mass Culture” from 「Act on the Development of Mass Culture and Art Industry」, this article defined ‘Pure Artists’ as a complementary set of the former concept which excludes the latter concept. Based on this, this article analyzed Pure Artists a monthly average income comparing the monthly minimum wage and the monthly minimum cost of living, and investigated whether ‘Pure Artists’ joined the grand four insurance or not just as Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance, Employment Insurance, National Health Insurance, National Pension, so ultimately could check the deteriorated economic status of ‘Pure Artists’. For to deviate from criticism that 「Artists’ Welfare Act」has just declarative sense and to resolve this problem, a protective method for rising artists should be prepared, and joining the grand four insurance or not must be differed subdividing economic status of artists. Besides, reinforcing restriction level with creating penal provisions in 「Artists’ Welfare Act」 could be considered, but it would be enough through modulating upper limit of fine for negligence.
