This study was conducted to diagnose the grand challenges in the health and welfare sector arising from demographic changes and socio-economic transitions facing Korean society, and to explore integrated and sustainable policy alternatives based on in-depth analysis. To this end, a comprehensive analytical approach was employed, including a review of relevant literature, empirical data analysis, and expert consultations incorporating perspectives from academia and policy practice.
The findings indicate that addressing complex and interrelated policy challenges requires moving beyond fragmented, institution-centered approaches and instead adopting an integrated policy framework organized around functions and roles.
