| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to analyze the actual conditions of colonial policy in Korea and of social and economical change during the years from 1930 to 1940. The documents of the Government-General of Korea is used as the main materials.
It was the capital of small-to-medium-sized enterprises unemployed because of Great Depression in 1930, and that of large enterprises whose advance was motivated because of Japan's invasion to the Continent, which promoted the establishment of modern factories in Korea. After the Japanese-Chinese war in 1937, munitions factories were built in earnest.
Under the policy of making Japan's base in Korea, industrialization of the colony and controlled economization could not but involve the destruction of pre-capitalistic social constitution which had been thought as traditional society.
On one hand, they came out with the regulation for landlordism, the policy of the earlier capital circulation and price control elimination. On the other, laborers' forced movement to manufacturing-mining industry promoted agricultural development ; a farmer became a producer of small merchandise, and national capital grew. Fund raising ratio in Korea increased, and development of internal economies cyclical framework can be recognized.
Therefore, the Korean society from 1930 to 1945 can be understood to be in the transition period from colonial half-feudal society to marginal capitalistic society.
