This study identified the rate of income poverty and multidimensional poverty, correlation between income poverty and multidimensional poverty, and adjusted multidimensional poverty rate. We also analyzed the factors that affected the number of poverty dimension and the probability of belonging to the poor or not in 3,159 elderly households including 474 poor households and 2,685 middle class households. First, in poor households, the employment poverty rate was the highest and the housing poverty rate was the lowest. In middle class households, the relation poverty rate was the highest and the employment poverty rate was the lowest. Second, in poor households, correlation between asset poverty and relation poverty had the highest coefficient of .205 and asset poverty and housing poverty had the lowest coefficient of .149. In middle class households, the correlation between income poverty and relation poverty had highest coefficient of -.290 and employment poverty and relation poverty had the lowest coefficient of .038. Third, in poor households, the number of average poverty dimension was 4.30, but the number of average poverty dimensions of middle class households was 2.310. Fourth, the variable affecting the number of poverty dimensions in poor households were gender, age, level of education, marital status; however, the significant variables were gender, education level, marital status, income poverty in the middle class households. The variable that affected the probability of belonging to the poor or not in poor households was age. However, the significant variables were gender, education level, marital status, residence, and income poverty in middle class households.

The characteristics of poverty can be comprehensively revealed from the two angles of income and multidimensional. This paper compares China's rural income poverty measure with multidimensional poverty index using data from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) by focusing on the static and dynamic disparities, and analyzes the factors influencing poverty through the Logit model. The results show that there exists a substantial mismatch in who is deemed poor, 60 percent of multidimensional poverty households are not considered poor in terms of income poverty, and 70 percent of income poverty households are not considered poor in terms of multidimensional poverty; There is a high level of disparity between the dynamics of the two measures of poverty. Among those who rose in the income dimension, only about 7 percent also rose in the multidimensional measure from 2016 to 2018.

본 연구의 목적은 보다 실효성있는 탈빈곤정책의 대안을 모색하기 위하여 소득뿐만 아니라 시간을 고려한 대안적 빈곤측정과 분석을 시도하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 한국복지패널 1차년도 자료를 활용하여 생계부양자의 연령이 60세 이하인 가구를 대상으로 소득빈곤과 시간빈곤, 그리고 소득과 시간의 이중빈곤을 산출하였다. 더불어 시간빈곤으로 인하여 돌봄서비스를 시장에서 구매하는 과정에서 추가 지출이 발생함에 따라 소득빈곤이 새롭게 발생하는 상황도 분석하였다. 분석결과, 소득빈곤율의 평균수치는 9.5%이고, 시간빈곤율은 15.7%이며, 시간조정 소득빈곤율은 10.8%로 나타났다. 또한 교육수준이 낮으면서 미취학자녀가 있는 한부모가구의 경우, 소득빈곤뿐만 아니라 시간빈곤을 경험할 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 가구의 상황을 고려하지 않은 채 일을 통한 빈곤탈출만을 강조하는 복지정책의 실효성에 한계가 있을 수밖에 없음을 입증하였다. 더불어 사회복지정책이 궁극적으로, 임금노동과 돌봄노동, 그리고 여가 간 상충을 최소화할 수 있도록 제공됨으로서, 전반적인 삶의 질 향상을 도모해야 함을 제언하였다.

This study aims to investigate factors that affect elderly poverty based on a comprehensive and universal perspective, suggesting some alternatives for improving the poverty rate of the elderly. The comprehensive and universal approach to the poverty of the aged that this study attempts can give a better understanding of the elderly poverty beyond the contribution of the existing literature, with the research model including individual, family, labor, and income factors as the causes of old-age poverty from the comprehensive and universal perspective on the causes of poverty of the elderly. In addition, the study attempts to input variants of variables into the equation for the causes of elderly poverty by using panel data from the 8th Korean Retirement and Income Study. This study employs decision tree analysis to determine the cause of the poverty of the elderly using CHAID. The decision tree analysis shows that the most vital variable affecting elderly poverty is making income. For the poor elderly without earned income, public pensions, educational careers, and residential areas influence elderly poverty, but for the poor elderly with earned income, wage earners and gender are variables that affect poverty. This study suggests some alternatives to improve the poverty rate of the aged. The government should create a better working environment such as senior re-employment for old people to be able to participate in economic activities, improve public pension or social security for workers with unfavorable conditions for public security of old age, and give companies that create employment of the aged diverse incentives.

이 연구의 목적은 기초생활보장제도의 도입으로 대표되는 최근의 국가복지제도 변화가 사회성원들의 복지욕구에 대한 공적 이전과 사적 이전의 효과를 어떤 식으로 변모시켰는지를 경험적으로 분석하는 것이다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해 이 연구에서는 이전 소득의 원천을 기준으로 공적 이전과 사적 이전을 구분하고, 각각의 빈곤 감소 효과를 분석하는 접근 방식을 택한다. 즉, 기초생활보장제도의 시행을 반영하고 있는 2001년도 도시가계자료를 활용하였으며, 소득의 이전을 개인 간 혹은 가족 간에 이루어지는 사적 이전과 사회보장정책을 통해 이루어지는 공적 이전으로 구분하였으며, 각각의 빈곤 감소 효과를 효과성과 효율성 지표를 활용하여 비교했다. 그 결과, 두 가지의 흥미로운 사실이 발견되었다. 첫째, 선행연구들과 마찬가지로 여전히 사적 이전이 공적 이전보다 더 큰 빈곤 감소 효과를 가지지만, 그 격차는 상당히 완화되었다. 둘째, 사적 이전과 공적 이전의 빈곤 감소 효과는 가구 유형에 따라 달리 나타난다. 공적 이전의 확대 혹은 사적 이전의 축소가 이러한 분석결과를 가져왔겠지만, 이 연구에서는 기초생활보장제도의 도입으로 대표되는 공적 이전의 확대가 더 큰 영양을 미쳤을 것이라고 가정한다. 한편, 가구유형에 따라 공적 이전과 사적 이전의 빈곤 감소 효과가 상이하게 나타난다는 분석결과는 빈곤정책의 수립에 있어 빈곤계층의 다양성을 고려하는 것이 중요하다는 점을 다시 한번 일깨우는 것일 뿐 아니라, 사적 이전으로 대표되는 연복지의 제공논리에 대한 보다 상세한 분석의 필요성을 제기한다.

외환위기와 함께 본격적으로 등장한 빈곤문제가 위기의 진정에도 불구하고 위기 이전 수준으로 대폭 감소되지 않을까? 본 연구는 가구소비실태조사 자료를 이용한 1990년대 이후 빈곤추이 분석을 통해 이러한 물음에 답한다. 1990년대 전반기는 급속한 빈곤 감소를 특징으로 한다. 이 시기의 빈곤 감소에는 경제성장이 결정적인 요인으로 작용하였고 소득불평등도의 완화 또한 영향을 미쳤다. 1990년 후반에는 빈곤율이 크게 높아졌다. 경제성장의 침체로 소득수준은 감소하거나 정체상태에 머무른 한편, 소득불평등도가 증대되고 빈곤취약가구가 증가하는 인구학적 변화가 일어나 빈곤 증대를 초래하였다. 이러한 추이에는 주로는 경제활동을 수행하는 성인의 소득격차 확대가, 부차적으로는 노인가구의 증대가 영향을 미쳤다. 절대빈곤의 추이에서는 경제성장의 영향이 주로 부각되고, 상대빈곤의 추이에서는 분배구조 변화의 역할이 크게 나타난다. 준절대빈곤의 경우 1990년대 전반부에는 경제성장으로 상당한 빈곤감소가 발생하고 후반부에는 소득불평등 악화와 경제성장 정체로 빈곤증가가 이루어진 것으로 나타났다.

The objective of the study is to examine the impact of financial development and foreign remittances on poverty and income inequality in the context of Pakistan. The study used ARDL-Bounds testing approach for robust inferences. The results show that in the short-run, remittances increases poverty and income inequality, which further translated into its long-run impact. The result confirmed the inverted U-shaped relationship between per capita income and income inequality, while the second order coefficient of per capita income substantially decline poverty incidence in a country. In the long-run, the results disappeared and it's turned into U-shaped relationship between income inequality and country's per capita income. Education largely decreases income inequality both in the short and long-run, however, it increases poverty in the long-run. Unemployment rate substantially damaged the pro-poor growth scenario, as high unemployment rate increases both the poverty rates and income inequality, which suffered poor more than non-poor in a country. Financial development has a positive impact on poverty reduction and income inequality in the short-run. The impact of income inequality on poverty incidence is positive both in the short- and long-run, which need pro-poor growth policies and rationale income distribution in a country.

Objectives: Socioeconomic factors are one of the significant factors explaining drinking problems in our society. From the poverty and inequality perspective, not only absolute poverty but perceived level of poverty or inequality has a direct effect on one's health and health behaviors. The purpose of the study is to explore the growth trajectories of problem drinking in Korea in relation to poverty and perceived income. Methods: Data from 13,414 adults were analyzed using 4 years of data (2010 to 2014) from the Korea Welfare Panel. Main variables included poverty status, perceived income inequality, and problem drinking. A latent growth modeling was employed for the analysis. Results: The non-poverty group had higher initial level of problem drinking; however, the poverty group showed higher rate of increase in problem drinking rate. The perceived income inequality had no significant influence on the initial level, but over time, those with higher level of perceived income inequality showed higher rate of increase in problem drinking. Conclusions: Findings showed that poverty and inequality affect changes in problem drinking. Efforts to prevent and decrease problems related to alcohol should not only focus on changing individuals' behavior but also on decreasing the inequality gap.

The primary purpose of this study is to analyze the decreasing effect of public and private income transfers on poverty rate. Two year data of Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS, 1998, 1999) are used for the analysis, and 1/2 of median income and 1/3 of mean income are adopted to measure poverty rate. Although private income transfer contributes more to reduce the rate than the public transfer, the main effect for decreasing poverty rate is forced by the wage. Statistically significant variables that affect to the exit of poverty based on the logistic regression analysis are number of family members(-), wage(+), property income(+), social insurance benefit(+), and the transfer income(+). Therefore, the future policy should be more related with the active labor market policy for developing better human resources among the poor family.

As an effort to achieve sustainable development and increase people's welfare, financial inclusion has become the policy agenda of many countries. Therefore, the effect of financial inclusion on economic growth, poverty, income inequality, and financial stability in several countries in Asia has become the goal and this is the subject of this study. Financial inclusion is measured by 3 dimensions, namely banking penetration, access to banking services, and use of banking services. Poverty ratio below the national poverty line and the Gini coefficient are used as indicators of poverty and income inequality. Financial stability is measured by Bank Z-Score and bank nonperforming loans. The results from the hypothesis test shows that all dimensions of financial stability simultaneously have significant influence on economic growth, poverty, income inequality, and financial stability. On the other hand, the partial impact of financial inclusion dimension on economic growth, poverty alleviation, income inequality, and financial stability in ten countries of Asia has not been optimal. The derived results of this study is required to be interpreted and considered by the Governments of each country in developing strategies for increasing financial inclusion, so that the policy to achieve sustainable development and enhancement of people's welfare can be achieved.
