This paper aims at presenting the issues regarding the aged welfare policy in Korea and its direction, by analyzing the trend of the family support in addressing the problem of the aged in Japan and Korea since 1990, and explaining the special features of its background. The results of the comparative analysis is as follows: 1) The 1990's problem of the aged in Korea, mainly comes from malfunctioning of family support, not from increasing in number in the aged, as there has been a rabid change in family pattern. 2) Due to the change in the family structure and its function, it is necessary to develop both the financial support and the care together to alleviate the problems of the aged in Korea. 3) Even though the care for the aged is based on the family, the Korea welfare policy for the aged has been mainly focused on the development of financial support. So, there are many limitations in family care. As a result of this research, it is believed that Korea welfare policy for the aged should have more emphasis on the expansion in number of recipients of care to alleviate the family's burden.
