The historical study on communal relations and the welfare system in Okinawa

在战前的冲绳，日本政府制定了与其他县相同的福利制度。但战后的冲绳并没有这种制度。根据具体情况，冲绳社会福利行政官员在1945-1949年制定了新的制度，如穷人救济、日间托儿所、冲绳孤儿和孤寡老人福利院等。从1950年起，他们将社会福利制度化，例如对穷人的援助，少年犯的培训学校，身体残疾的康复。1951年成立的社会福利委员会在20世纪50年代的福利制度中发挥了重要作用。

In prewar Okinawa, Japanese government had made the same welfare system as in other prefectures. But that system had not been in postwar Okinawa. Depending on the circumstances, Okinawan administrative officials on social welfare had made the new system in 1945-1949, such as relieves for the poor, day nurseries, and Okinawa Kouseien for orphans and the solitary aged. From 1950 they had systematized social welfare, such as assistance for the poor, a training school for juvenile delinquents, rehabilitation of the physically disabled. A council of social welfare, established in 1951, had played an important part in the welfare system on 1950's.
