This study aim to demonstrate and categorize the status of level of mobile information utilization of the 2030 youth generation, and to identify factors that may affect the digital divide within the generation. For this purpose, 1779 data were analyzed using materials for the 2018 digital divide survey in Korea Ministry of Science and ICT. According to the level of information utilization, the consumers were categorized into three types : reference group (46.5%), high utilization group (27.2%), and low utilization group (26.3%). There were statistically significant differences in demographics variable, consumer capabilities, living satisfaction by type of consumer. In addition, the factors influencing the digital divide of the high utilization group and low utilization group were identified compared to the reference group. It is meaningful that this study confirmed the actual gap of information utilization and raised the possibility of the digital divide within the 2030 youth generation.

This study aims to analyze the factors affecting consumption inequality in the 10 years following the financial crisis, applying the cohort method on the data for the first to the eleventh wave of the Korean Labor and Income Study produced by the Korean Labor Institute. The study found that consumption inequality increased rapidly immediately following the financial crisis, and then decreased gradually until increasing again from 2005 onward. Analyzed in terms of age-time-cohort effects, there was a significant change in consumption inequality around the age of mid-forties, and the decrease in consumption inequality was smaller in the younger generations than in the older ones. This suggests that as the current younger generations age over time, consumption inequality may become greater. Also, when the factors in population-cohort-age effects from 1998 onward are analyzed, the age effect in consumption inequality becomes smaller, whereas the role of the rising average age due to demographic shifts seems to be increasing. This means that consumption inequality may become a serious problem in the rapidly aging society. Therefore, there is a need to consider ways to bolster social security and to provide further public assistance in the low-income retiree.

This study aims to analyze the current state and causes of digital media literacy divide according to its sub-factors. The effects of the generation and the economic status, among other variables, have been explored using empirical data from a large-scale survey of 2,171 media users including children, adolescents, adults and the elderly. The results showed that the effects of generation and economic status varied according to 8 components of digital media literacy. The economic status of media users has also been found to influence the divide among adults group and through the interaction effect with the generation factor. Policy suggestions for the solution of digital media literacy divide were discussed in conclusion.

This study explores how the digital divide caused by personal SES(Socio-Economic Status) eventually affect personal life satisfaction. The study also investigates the differences between living in urban and rural areas, as well as the differences among generations, with respect to the digital divide and personal life satisfaction. Based on the Korean Media Panel data produced by KISDI, this study used 9,647 national samples to obtain variables such as digital divide, and life satisfaction. Results show that personal SES is a key factor that significantly influences digital divide and life satisfaction in various degrees. Also, the study finds that the degree of the digital divide have an effect on people's life satisfaction. The findings imply that people living in urban areas are more highly used to digital media than those in rural areas regardless of their SES. The study has an implication, in terms of digital equity among generations as well as urban and rural residents.

본 연구는 고령사회 도래에 따른 고령층 정보격차해소 방안에 관한 연구이다. 먼저 정보격차에 관한 이론적 쟁점을 살펴본 후 해외 주요국들의 고령층 정보격차해소 현황을 소개하고, 고령사회 도래에 따라 고령층의 정보사회 참여를 촉진하기 위한 고령층 정보격차해소 방안을 고찰하고 있다. 향후 빠르게 진행될 고령사회에 대응하기 위한 고령층 정보격차해소 정책방안으로서 정보격차 진화의 단계별로 제1유형, 제2유형, 제3유형으로 분류하여 정책방안을 제시하였다. 제1유형에서는 정보의 접근성, 제2유형에서는 정보의 활용성, 그리고 제3유형에서는 정보의 수용성을 기준으로 정보격차가 분화된다. 이 유형들은 그 일부가 정책방안을 구상함에 있어 중복 고려될 수 있다. 제1유형에서는 보편적 접근 및 서비스를 지향하는 입장에서 정보기기에 대한 균등한 접근기회 보장 및 인적 네트워크 강화를 중요하게 고려해야 할 것이다. 제2유형과 제3유형에서는 고령층의 사회참여 역량을 강화함으로써 궁극적으로 삶의 질 향상에 기여할 수 있는 방향으로 나아갈 수 있도록 하기 위하여 정보활용 능력 및 세대 간 의사 소통 능력의 증진이 중요하게 고려되어야하겠다. 이와 같은 대응방안을 체계적이고 지속적인 대책으로 접근해 나갈 필요가 있다.

This paper aims to examine the causes and features of current generational conflicts in Korea and to discuss their implications. The data utilized in the study include collective data on presidential and general elections and secondary data obtained from empirical research. The findings are as follows. First, generational power conflicts express itself by struggles among generations concerning the timing of political power transfer. An average age of assemblymen decreases consistently regardless of changes in overriding ideological atmosphere in general - conservative vs. liberal. Second, ideological conflicts among generations were highly intensified around 2002 presidential election, but gradually moderated since 2004 general election. The conflicts might be re-intensified if a set of conditions were satisfied. Third, cultural conflicts between older and younger generations were contrasted around three cultual axes: economic growth with top priority vs. consumerism, collectivism vs. individualism, and authoritarianism vs. post-authoritarianism. To ease strained relations between generations, intergenerational programs were suggested.

Using Seoul Welfare Panel Study, this research examines regional differentials in income and asset between Gangnam households and Non-Gangnam households in Seoul. Applying the Oaxaca decomposition method, it also decomposes factors associated with the differentials into explained and unexplained components. Results show that average monthly income is about 4 million won for Gangnam households and 3.2 million won for Non-Gangnam households. The explained component accounts for most of the income differential, which mainly originates from differences in the distributions of individual and household characteristics associated with the monthly income. The net asset differential between the two regions is much greater than the income differential. The net asset is about 460 million won for Gangnam households and approximately 280 million won for Non-Gangnam households. Most of the net asset differential is remained unexplained after controlling for covariates which measure demographic characteristics of householders and various features of labor market in which household members are employeed. It implies that other factors such as inter-generational transfers of wealth may play a significant role in creating the net asset differential.
