Abstract

This paper attempts to analyze the contribution of different socioeconomic factors such as income, age, gender, household composition, education and employment status etc. to the difference between the Capital and Non-Capital Regions in the net wealth inequality of household in Korea. To this end, a two-stage Oaxaca-Blinder type decomposition is employed regarding the regional gap in the inequality of net wealth based upon the Recentered Influence Function of the Gini index for 'the 2018 Household Finance and Living Conditions Survey.' Despite the shortcomings of the survey data on wealth, the findings reveal that regional differences in income, marriage status (divorce), job type (agriculture, forestry and fishery related, and technical and assembly), family type (multi-cultural) variables deepen the regional gap in the net-wealth inequality, but employment status (full-time), job type (administrative and specialized, and service sales), household size variables mitigate the gap, and that regional differences in life cycles play an offsetting role.

본 논문은 2018년 가계금융복지조사 원자료를 대상으로 기존 O-B(Oaxaca-Blinder) 요인분해를 일반화하고 정교화한 가중화 및 RIF(Recentered Influence Function) 회귀 기반의 2단계 O-B 요인분해 기법을 사용하여 순자산 불평등의 수도권과 비수도권 격차 요인들을 분석한다. 이는 소득, 연령, 교육, 가구유형 등과 같은 사회 경제적 요인들의 지역 간 분포 차이가 순자산 불평등의 지역 간 격차에 어떻게 기여했는지를 밝히는 것이다. 자료의 한계에도 불구하고, 분석 결과는 소득, 이혼, 농림어업과 기능조립직, 다문화가구 변수들의 지역 간 차이는 순자산 불평등의 수도권과 비수도권 간 격차를 심화시키지만, 상용직, 관리전문사무직, 서비스판매직, 가구규모 변수들은 그 격차를 완화시키고, 생애주기의 지역 간 차이는 상쇄적인 역할을 한다는 것을 보여준다.
