中文摘要 | 政府的社會福利支出在過去十年以來節節上升,即使在民國八十九年國家經濟衰退時,社會福利支出仍不斷增加,因而有社會福利排擠經濟發展一說,甚至認為社會福利的擴張將拖垮臺灣經濟。本文試圖先透過文獻探討,了解社會福利與經濟發展的關係,以及政府公共支出成長的必然性,再經由分析政府預算,探究過去十年中央政府與地方政府之社會福利與經濟發展支出的趨勢,藉此探究下列幾個問題:臺灣社會福利支出的成長,是否就能表示福利品質的提升?社會福利與經濟發展支出的消長,是否為全國普遍的現象?各級政府的預算是否都出現此消長的情形?而研究發現,中央政府之社會福利與經濟發展預算自民國八十四年起有明顯消長,福利支出高於經濟發展支出,迄今亦然,但這並不表示社會福利品質已有提升,因為從細部的預算科目觀之,會發現社福預算的擴張有相當濃厚的政治意味。而北、高兩市,雖出現二種預算消長的情形,但消長的趨勢較以經濟發展為重心。至於其他縣市在此兩種預算上並沒有明顯的消長,社會福利始終低於經濟發展預算,推究其因,此與地方的財政困難、設算制度、以及盡量避免成為 「福利吸鐵」的心態有關。 |
英文摘要 | The welfare expenditures have been increased dramatically in the past decade even during the economic downturn of 1990 while economic development was expected to be the nation' s policy focus. The government was criticized for allocating too much resource to social welfare and keeping the nation's economic development ignored. Nonetheless, people argued that the dramatic increase in the welfare spending will make the nation' s economic retrenchment even worse. The purpose of this study is to explore the relation between social welfare and economic development from literature review of international cases. The factors causing the increase in public expenditures are discussed. In addition, by means of analyzing the trend of welfare and economic development expenditures at both central and local levels in the past decade, this study intends to answer the following questions: Does the increase in welfare expenditures stands for the raise of the welfare quality? Does the tide between welfare and economic development expenditures happened in both central and local budgets? This research finds that the welfare spending went beyond economic development spending from 1995 at the central level up to date. However, this expansion of welfare expenditures implied more about politics rather than welfare quality. At the local level, the budget trends of welfare and economic development in both Taipei City and Kaohsiung City are distinguished from other cities. The budget trends of Taipei and Kaohsiung seemed act in accordance with the local economic situation. Different from Taipei and Kaohsiung, other cities did not have significant tide between the budgets of local social welfare and economic development. Welfare expenditures in these cities are always lower than economic development expenditures due to the local fiscal stress, new block grant system, and disincentive to be a "welfare magnet. |
