Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to bring to light the problems related to the Social Welfare Law, as well as to make suggestions regarding the same from the following viewpoints : the object, purposes, and ideal of this law. The object of this law, namely; "the services intended for social welfare", is so broad a concept that it is too difficult to grasp it clearly. Besides, "the protection of user's benefits", which is one of the purposes of this law is, restrictive in scope and is unclear as well, because the term "user's benefits" is not clearly defined. The core of its ideal is "the maintenance of the dignity of an individual". The meaning of the fundamental ideal is not enough for the respect of lifestyle and choice of users. Because its most basic ideal is the protection of "human dignity". We must put in efforts to do away with the problems facing the law to protect the user's rights in keeping with the objective of the Constitution and this law.
