About This Book
This book discusses major challenges Korea faces in promoting R&D as it
undergoes extensive economic, social and demographic changes. The Korean
government has long put top priority on economic growth in the belief
that a rising tide lifts all boats. Hence its R&D policy has been geared
toward accelerating economic development. But in recent years, the
benefits of economic growth have not trickled down to the poor. As a
result, while the economy has continued to grow, poverty has been on the
rise, aggravating social polarization. This has sharply increased demand
for welfare, putting a strain on government finances.
