福利國家的興起，使得政府在滿足國民基本需求方面擔負著主要的責任。惟自一九七Ｏ年代後，福利國家受到批評與質疑，使得私有化成爲政策的導向，以減少政府的介入。本文的目的在就社會服務私有化的執行而作理念探討，包括執行的對象丶執行的策略與執行的評估。綜合而言，社會服務私有化的執行尙有許多問題需要解答。我國目前社會服務雖亦有部份私有化的作法，但是鑒於我國社會福利的發展仍在起步階段，因此必須相當慎重，尤其不應淪爲政府放棄責任的藉口。

Since the development of "welfare state " after 1945, the state has been seen as a main provider in meeting various human needs. How­ever, in the late 1970s the welfare state has been described as being in a "state of crisis ". Under this circumstance, the policy of "privatization " has been proclaimed for the purpose of reducing the scope of state intervention. This paper aims to discuss the impact of privatization on social services from the implementation side. It starts with the explanation of privatization, i.e. who transfers what to whom? Then the strategies of privatization is discussed. The paper continues with an examination about the evaluation criteria of privatization. In short, there are still doubts and questions need to be answered in implementing privatization of social services. As concluded by the author, Taiwan, an underdevel­oped welfare state, should be very cautious in this tide of privatization. Particularly, privatization should not become an excuse for the govern­ment to ignore her responsibilities in taking care of the people.
