Such a corporation means a corporation established without capital and run on a nonprofit basis for the public purposes of the state. It starts without capital at establishment but later comes to have capital. Examples are the Korea Veterans Health Service, the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service, the National Health Insurance Service and the National Pension Service.

This is a corporation established to carry out social welfare services. It is a corporation defined by Article 2 of the Social Welfare Services Act, and the law specifies it directly. It mainly carries out welfare services and services that support institutions or facilities providing welfare services.

Corporations of various forms take part as providers of social welfare, and this is possible. Individuals can also be providers of social welfare. However, the state tends to turn this into corporations. So for an individual to take part as a provider of social welfare, it is desirable to set up a corporation and participate. If a corporation cannot be set up, participation is possible by other means such as a cooperative.

Basic rights are the minimum rights and freedoms that guarantee a humane life that every human being has. One of the elements that helps people meet their needs so they can live as human beings is social welfare. In the main body, I looked in detail at who holds basic rights and who provides social welfare.

First, holders of basic rights can be divided into natural persons and corporations. Natural persons are divided into citizens and foreigners. Legally, foreigners are guaranteed a different scope than citizens. Both citizens and foreigners, as holders of human rights, are equally guaranteed the right to pursue happiness and human dignity and worth, but for foreigners, under the principle of reciprocity, the scope of rights such as voting rights is narrower than for citizens. A corporation means property or an organization whose legal capacity is recognized by law apart from natural persons. Corporations also hold basic rights.

Then who are the providers of social welfare?

Note that the 'person under limited incapacity' mentioned in the paper was replaced by the limited guardianship system in the July 2013 Civil Code amendment, and the Ministry of Security and Public Administration is now the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. The Constitutional Court recognizes human rights such as human dignity and worth and the right to pursue happiness for foreigners as well, and in certain cases it has also recognized their freedom to choose a workplace. A commonly cited exception for public corporations is the decision holding that Seoul National University, a national university, holds academic freedom and university autonomy. Social welfare corporations are established with permission from the city or provincial governor under the Social Welfare Services Act, so note that as well.
