Background: The purpose of this study is to estimate empirically whether there is a difference in medical use among income groups, and if so, how much. This study applies econometric model to the most recent year of Korean Medical Panel, 2015. The model consists of outpatient service and inpatient service models. Methods: The probit model is applied to the model which indicate whether or not the medical care has been used. Two step estimation method using maximum likelihood estimation is applied to the models of outpatient visits, hospital days, and outpatient and inpatient out-of-pocket cost models, with disconnected selection problems. Results: The results show that there was the inequality favorable to the low income group in medical care use. However, after controlling basic medical needs, there were no inequities among income groups in the outpatient visit model and the model of probability of inpatient service use. However, there were inequities favorable to the upper income groups in the models of probability of outpatient service use and outpatient out-of-pocket cost and the models of the number of length of stay and inpatient out-of-pocket cost. In particular, it shows clearly how the difference in outpatient service and inpatient service utilizations by income groups when basic medical needs are controlled. Conclusion: This means that the income contributes significantly to the degree of inequality in outpatient and inpatient care services. Therefore, the existence of medical care use difference under the same medical needs among income groups is a problem in terms of equity of medical care use, so great efforts should be made to establish policies to improve equity among income groups.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of basic needs and demographic variables of adult women upon clothing values. This study was designed with causal model regrading the demographic variables as independent variable: the basic need as interventing variable: the eight clothing values as dependent variables. The major findings of this research can be summarized as following; 1. Age of women has a definite effect on marriage status, school career and income. Age has effect on marriage status in seven values except exploratory value. It has effect on school career in aethetic and political values, and it has also effect on school career and income in social and religious values. 2. Age has no significant direct effect on the basic needs. Marriage status and school career have significant direct effect on the basic needs. Marriage status has positive effect on the need for self-esteem in seven values except exploratory value. The need for self-esteem of unmarried women are stronger than that of married women. School career has negative impact on the need for safety. The women having higher school career do not have strong need for safety in aethetic and social values. 3. School career, income, needs for safety, belongingness, self-esteem and self-actualizing have significant direct effect on clothing values. School career has positive effect on aethetic and political values, and it has negative effect on religious values. Income has negative effect upon social and religious values. Need for safety has negative effect on aethetic values. Need for safety is positively related with need for belongingneses, and they have an effect on the social values. Need for self-esteem has positive effect on the aethetic and political values, and it has negative impact on theoretical, economic, social and religious values. Need for self-actualizing has positive effect on the theoretical values.

Background: Because income and working hours are closely related, the health impact of working hours can vary according to economic status. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between working hours and the risk of poor self-rated health according to household income level. Methods: We used the data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey VI and VII. The information on working hours and self-rated health was obtained from the questionnaire. After stratifying by household income level, the risk of poor self-rated health for long working hour group (≥ 52 hours a week), compared to the 35-51 working hour group as a reference, were calculated using multiple logistic regression. Results: Long working hours increased the risk of poor self-rated health in the group with the highest income, but not in the group with the lowest income. On the other hand, the overall weighted prevalence of poor self-rated health was higher in the low-income group. Conclusions: The relationship between long working hours and the risk of poor self-rated health varied by household income level. This phenomenon, in which the health effects of long working hours appear to diminish in low-income households can be referred to as the 'poor worker's long working hours paradox'. Our findings suggest that the recent working hour restriction policy implemented by the Korean government should be promoted, together with a basic wage preservation to improve workers' general health and well-being.

본 연구는 노인의 삶을 풍요롭게 하기 위해서는 현재 실시되고 있는 소득보장정책을 보다 강화하여 노인들에게 적용 가능한 노후소득 확충방안을 제시하였다. 소득보장정책이란, 일정 생활수준을 유지할 수 있도록 소득을 보장하는 정책을 말한다. 실업·질병·재해에 의해 수입이 중단될 때, 또는 노령에 의한 퇴직이나 부양자의 사망 등에 의해 수입이 상실될 때, 출생·사망 등에 수반하는 지출이 발생할 때, 일정 생활수준을 유지할 수 있도록 소득을 보장해주는 정책이다. 연구 결과, 노후소득보장 확충 방안을 제시하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노후소득보장을 위한 기초연금의 단계적 인상이 필요하다. 둘째, 국민연금의 소득보장기능을 보다 더 강화해야 한다. 셋째, 다층노후소득보장체계를 구축해야 한다. 넷째, 노인일자리 확대를 지속적으로 추진해야 한다. 결론적으로 노인들에 대한 소득보장정책을 강화하기 위해서는 현재 실시되고 있는 노인소득보장제도에 대한 재점검이 우선적으로 필요하다. 그런 후 이에 대해 점진적으로 노후소득을 보장해주는 방안을 제시해야 할 것이다.

산업의 혁명적 변화에 직면한 지금 사회 대변혁의 시기에 노동과 소득의 관계도 재개념화가 필요하다. 노동의 부재에 의한 절대적인 노동량의 감소는 자동화, 스마트화, AI, 로봇노동 등으로 야기되며 이는 우리가 원하든 원하지 않든 수용해야 한다. 그러나 사회총생산량과 국가나 사회의 자본은 늘어나지만 개인의 소득은 줄어들 가능성이 크다. 이러한 변혁기에 국가나 정치는 개인의 소득감소에 따른 문제들에 관해 준비해야 한다. 지금까지 사회복지나 사회보장에 대해서 복지나 부조의 관점에서 다양한 수준의 논의가 있었다. 실험수준의 시도나 연구는 많은 국가나 지방정부의 차원에서 이루어졌고 긍정적 그리고 부정적 효과를 발견했다. 광범위하게 국가차원에서 지속적으로 실시되는 기본소득제도는 아직 없고 미래지향적 관점에서 다양한 논의가 이루어지는 수준이다. 이에 필자는 지금까지의 시각을 기초로 새로운 관점에서 바라보자는 제안을 해본다. 노동시간, 노동의 질, 소득, 삶의 질, 여유시간 가치, 워라밸 등의 관점에서 기본소득의 중요성과 필요성을 살펴보는 것이 포지티브 접근의 일환이라는 점을 탐색해 보았다. 산업의 패러다임 변화에 따는 절대적인 노동시간의 부족, 기계노동의 대체, 양극화 등을 적극적으로 수용하고 긍정적 시각에서 도래하는 문제를 바라보자는 것이다. 어차피 받아들일 것이면 이러한 문제를 근시안으로 보지 말고 선제적으로 준비하고 장기적이고 전체적인 관점에서 원시안적 계획을 수립하자는 것이다. 스마트 폰이 지난 10여년 사이에 세상의 변화를 가져와 잃어버린 것도 있지만 새로 발견한 것이 오히려 많지 않을까요? 기술의 변화를 통해 삶의 질을 고양시키는 절호의 기회라고 생각해야하지 않을까요?

Purpose - As the market economy deepens, the issue of social equity caused by income distribution becomes more and more significant. Therefore, this paper attempts to exploit the determinants of income distribution in terms of macroeconomics. Research design, data, and methodology - The data set from 1990 to 2017 will be used to conduct an empirical analysis under a menu of econometric approaches such as vector autoregressive model and impulse response function. The income distribution and other macroeconomic variables such as foreign direct investment and employment will be used to conduct an empirical analysis to explore the determinants of income distribution in terms of macroeconomics. Results - The findings indicate that the income distribution is related with macroeconomics. More specifically, the export, import, GDP and foreign direct investment play a role in deteriorating the income distribution. Conversely, the industrialization, inflation and employment can improve the income distribution. Unfortunately, the inflation and employment do not get through under 5% significant test. Conclusions - Due to that a good income distribution can be beneficial for both a country and an individual, this paper provides a new scope for China's government to improve its income distribution in terms of macroeconomics.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between life satisfaction of the elderly and their transfer income (public transfer and private transfer income) using the 11th data of the Korea welfare panel study. In the analysis results, the public transfer income was analyzed to have a significantly positive (+) effect on the life satisfaction in the case of the elderly in general households while in the case of the elderly in low income households, private transfer income was analyzed to have a significantly positive (+) effect on life satisfaction. These results suggest that the public transfer income is 1,019,200 won (monthly average 849,000 won) in the case of the elderly in general households, and the public transfer income is found to have an effect to stabilize the income, which can be expected to increase the life satisfaction. However, in the case of the elderly in low income households, it was found to be 5,080,500 won (monthly average 424,000 won), half of the public transfer income of the elderly in general households. In the case of the elderly of low income households, it can be assumed that the private transfer income, which is the "uncomfortable" income source, fills up the unstable income stabilization gap and raises the life satisfaction. As a policy suggestion, first, by supplementing the basic pension system, which is an irrational part of public transfer income for the elderly with low income, it is necessary to design policy alternatives to enable economic stabilization of the elderly in low income households. Second, it is also necessary to actively review the introduction of income deduction plans for the transfer income of family members for the low income elderly households.

본 연구는 노년기 경제적 불평등을 2007년부터 2018년까지의 한국복지패널조사 자료에서 지니계수와 10분위 분배율로 노인의 소득불평등 기여도의 변화를 분석하였다. 연구결과 전체소득의 지니계수는 2007년 0.430, 2018년 0.383으로 점진적으로 불평등이 줄어들고 있었다. 또한, 소득분위가 높아질수록 소득증가율이 높아졌다. 시간이 지남에 따라 시장소득 불평등은 증가하였고 공적이전소득과 사적이전소득의 불평등은 감소하였다. 전체소득에 대한 소득구조의 불평등 기여도 분석결과, 시간이 지남에 따라 사적이전소득의 불평등 완화 역할을 공적이전소득이 대체하고 있었다. 노인의 기초생활유지를 위한 공적이전소득의 확대는 사적이전소득의 구축효과에도 불구하고 중요한 노인 소득원이며, 노인의 소득구조의 구성요소인 시장소득, 공적이전소득, 사적이전소득은 상호 전체소득을 보완하는 성격이 있어 노인의 소득불평등을 완화하는데 기여한 소득원을 파악하여 정책에 반영하는 것이 중요하다.

The housing policy of Korea has been pushed with a focus on the middle-class. This contributed to alleviate the absolute lack problem of housing, but this program for the housing policy of low-income brackets is also true as insufficient attention. Thanks to Bulk supply-oriented housing policy, the rising penetration of housing and living conditions are improving as a whole, but low-income housing problem has been exacerbated by a relative. National and local government will solve the residential housing problem of low-income brackets by expanding welfare programs, but the quality of existing housing issues and the alternative policy are regarded as insufficient. Homeless households in Korea are still nearly 400 million, Housing costs higher than income weighted for buying a home and rent payments of low-income brackets. In this study, I investigated the concept of low-income housing welfare and housing policy changes. This paper is aimed to present the basic data through the investigation and analysis residential status of low-income brackets.
