A series of collaborations between the Institute for Policy Research at the University of Bath and the Institute of Welfare State Research at Yonsei University, South Korea. The two universities have previously enjoyed a fruitful partnership, and the proposed research and knowledge exchange collaborations are intended to build on this relationship. The collaborations consist of several conferences and workshops as well as a series of fellowships. As well as an academic partnership, the collaboration will include knowledge exchange with various government departments and think-tanks, and will enable the development of the capabilities and networks of Early Career Researchers.The proposed collaboration seeks to develop research into seven key strands of research:1. Lessons from the Covid-19 Pandemic for Welfare State Reform.Under the measures to protect jobs and livelihoods in both countries, such as the UK's 'furlough' scheme and the Republic of Korea's short-term job retention scheme, how well did did these schemes perform? How well did they provide social security and maintaining employment?2. Automation, Technology, Employment and the Labour Share: Tackling Inequality and Providing Inclusive Economic GrowthEach country has seen a decline in the labour share, and a rise in non-standard employment. Income inequality is relatively high in both countries. What is contributing to this decline? What is the role of in-work benefits and social security in this context?3. Universal Basic Income: Pilots and Political Developments in the UK and Republic of Korea.Interest in Universal Basic Income has risen during the Covid-19 pandemic, with several pilots planned or have taken place recently, such as in the Gyeonggi Province in South Korea, and two proposed by the Scottish and Welsh governments. What lessons can be learnt from the evaluations in South Korea? What has been proposed for the pilots in Scotland and Wales? 4. The Social Investment State in the UK and Korea, pre-and-post-pandemic: prospects and public policy options.The UK and the Republic of Korea have seen extensive development of 'social investment' welfare state strategies in recent decades. However, investment has also been cut in many places in the UK and in Korea, employment rates are low and the gender-pay gap is high. Do social investment strategies ensure minimum levels of social protection? What are the political-economic institutions favouring social investment?5. Young people, post-compulsory education and the future of the labour market.Korea and the UK have amongst the highest rates of populations educated to tertiary level in the world. However, the pandemic has had a greater impact on vulnerable groups such as the low-paid and young people. What happened to the youth labour market during Covid-19? What reforms have occurred to vocational training? What issues are there amongst graduate unemployment?6. Pensions and Social Care reform: A New Gerontocracy or Poverty in Retirement?Korea is a rapidly ageing society, and the UK has a relatively low rate of Basic State Pension. What proposals for reforms into the funding and provisional of social care is there? What is the political economy of old age?7. Employment, social security and public health: strengthening resilience to pandemicsKorea has no sickness benefits, but allowances were made during the pandemic for sick and hospitalised individuals. The UK has a low, flat rate statutory sick pay and made one-off payments to those required to self-isolate as a result of Covid-19 exposure. What inequalities were there in pandemic resilience? What effect did Covid-19 have on urban planning, employment and public health policy?These research questions will be explored and answered by the proposed collaborations, with the intention of informing and shaping public policy, as well as producing high quality collaborative research intended for publication.

巴斯大学政策研究所与韩国Yonsei大学福利国家研究所之间的一系列合作。两所大学以前享有富有成果的伙伴关系，拟议的研究和知识交流合作旨在建立在这种关系的基础上。合作包括几个会议和研讨会以及一系列奖学金。除学术伙伴关系外，合作还将包括与各个政府部门和智障人士的知识交流，并将能够发展早期职业研究人员的能力和网络。拟议的合作旨在将研究开发为研究的七个关键研究。 ：1。福利国家改革的共同教训的经验教训。根据保护两国的就业和生计的措施，例如英国的“休假”计划和大韩民国的短期职位保留计划，这些计划的表现如何履行？他们如何提供社会保障并维持就业？2。自动化，技术，就业和劳动力份额：解决不平等和提供包容性经济增长国家的劳动份额下降，非标准就业人数的增加。两国的收入不平等相对较高。有什么原因导致这种下降？在这种情况下，工作中的福利和社会保障的作用是什么？3。普遍的基本收入：英国和大韩民国的飞行员和政治发展。在共同基本收入中，兴趣在19次大流行期间有所增加，最近计划或发生了几名飞行员，例如在韩国的北朝鲜省，苏格兰和威尔士政府提出了两个。可以从韩国的评估中学到什么教训？苏格兰和威尔士的飞行员提出了什么？ 4。英国和韩国的社会投资状态，前大规模的：前景和公共政策选择。英国和大韩民国近几十年来广泛发展了“社会投资”福利国家战略的广泛发展。但是，在英国的许多地方和韩国的许多地方也进行了投资，就业率很低，性别付费差距很高。社会投资策略是否确保最低水平的社会保护水平？哪些政治经济机构赞成社会投资？5。年轻人，后强制教育以及劳动力市场的未来。Korea和英国是世界上第三级教育的最高人口率。但是，大流行对低薪和年轻人等脆弱群体产生了更大的影响。在Covid-19期间，青年劳动力市场发生了什么？职业培训发生了什么改革？毕业生失业中有哪些问题？6。养老金和社会护理改革：退休时的新老年医学或贫穷？有哪些改革对社会护理的资金和临时临时的建议？老年的政治经济学是什么？7。就业，社会保障和公共卫生：加强对Pandemicskorea的韧性没有疾病的益处，但是在病人和住院的患者大流行期间为津贴提供了津贴。英国的法定薪水较低，统一的法定薪水，并对由于19日的暴露而对自我分离的人进行一次性付款。大流行的弹性中有哪些不平等现象？ Covid-19对城市规划，就业和公共卫生政策产生了什么影响？这些研究问题将由拟议合作探讨和回答，目的是为公共政策提供信息，并制定旨在的高质量协作研究。发布。
