Study on the Influence of Political Preference on Welfare Attitude

In order to identify the differences in welfare attitudes by region according to the political preference, this paper has used the question of the welfare recognition supplementary survey in the 11th data of the Korea Welfare Panel (2016) to carry out the Chi-square test and multinominal logistic regression. The impact of the political preference on attitudes toward major welfare systems such as health insurance and health care, national pension, education, housing support, support for the poor, the elderly, and the disabled, family support for raising children, unemployment measures and employment insurance was identified, and a thorough analysis was conducted by controlling variables such as reported significant impacts of predisposing factors, or reported significant research factors, age, income, and other major economic benefits. The paper aims to contribute to the theoretical discussion of welfare attitudes by examining the possibility of forming a welfare-friendly conservative political force and examining which factors have more important effects among welfare attitude determinants represented by self-understanding and value orientation. This study analyzed the impact of the critical presentation on the welfare attitude by region after utilizing the additional survey on welfare recognition in the 11th data of the Korea Welfare Panel (2016). To do this, the Chi-Square Test and the polynomial regression were performed.
