Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to bring to light the problems related to "Social Welfare Law", as well as to make suggestions regarding the same from the following viewpoints ; the object, purpose and ideals of this law. The object of this law namely ; "social welfare oriented programs", is so broad a concept that it is too difficult to grasp it clearly. Besides, "protection of user's interest", which is one of the purposes of this law is, restrictive in scope and is unclear as well, because the term "user's interest" is not clearly defined. The core of its ideal is that the user is able to maintain his dignity by himself. But its most basic ideal is the protection of "human dignity". We must put in efforts to do away the problems facing the law to protect the human rights in keeping with the objective of the constitution and thislaw.
