This study examines recent trends in income inequality among the elderly in Korea. Aggregate income inequality trends are explained by examining evidence from inequality index decomposition by population subgroup and by income source. Data come from Korean Labor and Income Panel Study(KLIPS). The results are as follows. First, elderly income inequality increased from 1999 to 2002, and then decreased until 2008. Second, household composition changes appear to have disequalizing influence. The proportion of elderly people who are economically dependent on non-elderly family member or living with adult children has declined. Equalizing influence of private transfers also decreased between 2002 and 2008. These results indicate that the redistributive role of family has weakened over time. Third, the improvement of education level and changing occupational structure among the elderly household head contributed to increase in elderly income inequality. Fourth, earning's factor share has declined steadily, and the diminishing role of earnings provides equalizing influence on elderly income inequality from 2002 to 2008. Fifth, the impact of recent expansion of social insurance has changed over time. Inequality contribution of social insurance income increased from 1999 to 2002, and then decreased from 2002 to 2008.

This study aims to identify factors to affect cancer screening utilization and differences in cancer screening by household income. This research selected 3,393 adults aged ${\geq}40years$ among surveyees from the 6th(2014) Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We analyzed state of cancer screening utilization according to general characteristics, life style, health status, income level using descriptive statistics. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the factors associated with cancer screening utilization. In result, cancer screening rate was significantly different according to household income. And the significant factors associated with cancer screening utilization were sex, age, marital status, education level, economic activity, private insurance, smoking, presence or absence of high physical activity, number of chronic diseases, and household income. This indicates that the effective cancer screening program on the low household income, chronic disease patients is needed, suitable for digital age. We believe that these results will be used positively for the equity of cancer screening utilization, providing the basic materials for the further research on the establishment of the health-related policy.

본 연구는 주거소비규범에서의 이탈과 관계된 변수들을 조사하고자 시도되었으며, 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위한 구체적인 연구과제는 다음과 같다. 1. 미국의 각기 다른 가구유형별(가족생활주기 측면에서 구성된) 주거소비규범이 존재하는가\ulcorner 2. 규범보다 높은수준의 주거소비와 관계된 변수는 무엇인가\ulcorner 규범보다 낮은 수준의 주거소비와 관계된 변수는 무엇인가\ulcorner 자료는 미국엣 실시된 1990년도 소비자지출 조사의 인터뷰대상에서 추출된 4,923개의 소비자단위로 연구과제를 해결하기 위해 ordinary least squares(OLS) 중회귀분석방법이 사용되었으며, 본 연구에서 주거소비규범은 다음과 같은 4가지 주거특성, 즉 방수, 주거유형, 침실당 사람수 및 주거소유유형으로 확인되었다. 분석결과, 가구유형 및 크기가 규범이 존재한다고 믿어지는 4가지 주거특성과 유의하게 관련되어 있었으며, 이는 이러한 특성에 대해 규범이 존재한다는 결론을 지지했다. 한편, 다른 많은 가구들이 그들의 가구유형규범과 크기규범에 일치하지 않는 주거에서 살고 있는 것으로 나타났는데, 이러한 이탈은 소득, 가장의 연령 및 성별과 같이 자원제약을 나타내는 변수와 관계되어 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 왜 인구통계적 변수가 주거 및 다른 소비와 관계 되는지에 대한 이유를 설명할 수 있도록 하는 근거를 제시하고 있으며, 주거소비만족과 주거조정행동의 근거를 이해하는데 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to offer a comprehensive analysis of the changing trends of the Korean income packaging, poverty rate, and level of income inequality from 1996 to 2002. In order to do that, this study used the micro-data of "Income and Expenditure Survey of Urban Households" by the National Statistical Office(NSO). Major results were as follows: (1) A ratio of public transfer in family income packaging increased at the DJ administration. (2) Poverty rate and Gini coefficient, which were 7.8% and 0.29 in 1996, rose to $8.8{\sim}10.4%$ and $0.30{\sim}0.34$ respectively during the year of 1998-2002. (3) However, poverty reduction effect and income inequality reduction effect of public income transfer increased preferably at the DJ administration. Those effects increased more since the enactment of National Basic Livelihood Security in 2000. Therefore, government should provide more national welfare programs to reduce the poverty rate and to improve better structure of income distribution.
