ABSTRACT

The paper is aimed at exploring how the meaning of universal free childcare was communicated during the first policy initiation process in 2012. In order to do so, interpretative policy analysis was utilised as a methodological approach, whilst relevant policy documents and in-depth interviews were used for data collection. I argue that failings occurred because the policy implementation was placed on the agenda with a lack of commitment to increasing the number of public childcare centres, as well as disengagement from understanding the gender relations necessary for delivering universal childcare effectively.

为什么免费托儿倡议未能成为韩国全民托儿政策的有效实施

摘要

本文旨在探讨在 2012 年的第一个政策启动过程中如何传达普遍免费托儿的含义。为此，采用解释性政策分析作为方法论方法，同时对相关政策文件和深入访谈进行了研究。用于数据收集。我认为，之所以出现失败，是因为政策实施被提上了议程，但缺乏对增加公共托儿中心数量的承诺，以及对有效提供普遍托儿所必需的性别关系的理解。
