Abstract
This article examines the mechanisms for ensuring social security in two contrasting contexts: the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and South Korea. Despite their different political, economic, and cultural settings, both countries have developed unique models of social protection that reflect their development priorities. The study highlights the policy tools, institutional structures, and welfare frameworks in place, offering a comparative analysis to draw lessons for broader applications.
