The purpose of the study is to determine the poverty and distributional effects of the implementation of Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Law. The Computable General Equilibrium-Top Down Behavioral Microsimulation was used to obtain the effects of the tax reform on macroeconomic and microeconomic levels. Moreover, the Poverty Gap Index, Squared Poverty Gap Index, Foster, Greer, and Thorbecke Measures of Poverty, and Sen-Shorrocks-Thon Index were used to measure the poverty effect of the tax reform. Meanwhile, the Gini Coefficient and SST Gini Coefficient Index were used to measure the distributional effect of the tax reform. The results show that the implementation of the tax reform has resulted in a significant increase in household income and disposable income. Region IV has the highest estimated increase in household income. Meanwhile, Region IV remained to have the lowest household income. Further, the findings of this study suggest that the tax reform resulted in a significant decrease in the magnitude of poor and the number of poor in the Philippines. However, the result of the study also suggests that the effect of tax reform manifests no differences in terms of the poverty gap measured through the Foster, Greer, and Thorbecke poverty index due.

이 연구는 한국복지패널 2006~2015년 자료를 이용하여 사회보장급여의 빈곤완화효과를 분석하였다. 분석결과 사회보장급여는 빈곤갭을 상당한 정도로 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 국민기초생활보장, 공적연금, 기초연금 등의 제도가 비교적 큰 빈곤완화효과를 거두고 있는 반면 장애수당, 산재 고용보험, 보육 등의 빈곤완화효과는 이에 비해 훨씬 작은 편이다. 사회보장급여액과 빈곤완화효율성이라는 두 요소가 빈곤완화효과의 크기를 결정한다. 최근 사회보장제도의 확대에 따라 빈곤완화효율성은 대체로 감소하였으나 사회보장급여액이 더 크게 증가했기 때문에 빈곤완화효과는 점차 커졌다. 사회보장제도의 빈곤완화효과를 높이기 위해서는 선별주의적 제도의 단점을 극복하면서도 효율성을 도모할 수 있는 방법을 모색할 필요가 있다.

The multidimensional poverty index is an indicator system established for defining and evaluating poverty, to understand poverty in dimensions beyond just monetary scarcity. Based on income, education, health, living standards, and social dimensions, this article measures and analyzes the level of multidimensional poverty in Xinjiang using the AlkireFoster method, with cross-sectional data obtained from a 2022 survey. Probit model is constructed for regression analysis, further considering the impact of education on enhancing feasible capabilities and alleviating multidimensional poverty at the post-poverty alleviation era. The data shows that many people still face significant challenges from the perspective of multidimensional poverty; the decomposition results of each dimension show that education contributes more to the multidimensional poverty; the regression analysis results show that the higher the education level, the lower the multidimensional poverty; heterogeneity analysis revealed that the inhibitory effect of education on multidimensional poverty is greater for females than males, and the poverty reduction effect of education mainly concentrates on middle-aged and older individuals. This article is meaningful for exploring strategies to alleviate multidimensional poverty in ethnic minority regions in frontier areas in the new era, accelerating regional economic development, and achieving shared prosperity.

Background: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of occurrence and reoccurrence of catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) on transition to poverty and persistence of poverty in South Korea. Methods: The data of the year 2008-2011 from the Korea Health Panel were used. CHE was defined as the share of total health expenditure in a household out of a household's total income at various threshold levels (more than 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%). The effect of catastrophic expenditure on transition to poverty and persistence of poverty was analyzed through multivariate logistic regression. Results: The shares of households facing CHE at various threshold levels have increased gradually with 37.7%, 21%, 13.1%, and 9.5% in 2011. Households facing CHE were more likely to experience transition to poverty at thresholds level of more than 5% and 20% in 2010 set. Households facing CHE seemed to experience persistence of poverty, but it was not statistically significant. About 40% of households facing CHE in 2009 encountered another shock of CHE in 2010. Households without CHE seemed to experience more transition to poverty and persistence of poverty, but it was not statistically significant. For household with multiple CHE, those with medical aid were more likely to experience transition to poverty with statistical significance, but the statistical significance disappeared in case of persistence of poverty. Conclusion: The Korean health system needs to be improved to serve as a social security net for addressing transition to poverty and persistence of poverty due to facing CHE.

본 연구는 2004년 초등학교 4학년에 재학 중인 아동 1,785명과 그 부모를 대상으로 한 서울아동 패널 1~5차년도 자료를 이용하여 빈곤이 아동건강에 미치는 영향을 종단적으로 분석하였다. 아동건강에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되어 온 특성들을 통제한 상태에서 빈곤은 아동의 건강에 부정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 특히 지속빈곤, 일시빈곤, 비빈곤으로 나눠 살펴본 결과 지속빈곤의 아동건강에 대한 악영향이 두드러지게 나타났다. 이러한 빈곤의 아동건강에 대한 악영향은 주로 부모-아동간 유대관계 약화와 부부간의 갈등을 통해 작용하는 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 발견은 빈곤아동의 건강을 향상시키기 위해서는 소득지원 등 경제적 차원의 정책적 개입이 중요하고, 가족 관계에 대한 지지활동도 고려될 필요가 있음을 시사한다.

Objectives: The low benefit coverage rate of South Korea's health security system has been continually pointed out. A low benefit coverage rate inevitably causes catastrophic health expenditure, which can be the cause of the transition to poverty and the persistence of poverty. This study was conducted to ascertain the effect of catastrophic health expenditure on the transition to poverty and the persistence of poverty in South Korea. Methods: To determine the degree of social mobility, this study was conducted among the 6311 households that participated in the South Korea Welfare Panel Study in both 2006 and 2008. The effect of catastrophic health expenditure on the transition to poverty and the persistence of poverty in South Korea was assessed via multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: The poverty rate in South Korea was 21.6% in 2006 and 20.0% in 2008. 25.1 - 7.3% of the households are facing catastrophic health expenditure. Catastrophic health expenditure was found to affect the transition to poverty even after adjusting for the characteristics of the household and the head of the household, at the threshold of 28% or above. Conclusions: 25.1% of the households in this study were found to be currently facing catastrophic health expenditure, and it was determined that catastrophic health expenditure is a cause of transition to poverty. This result shows that South Korea's health security system is not an effective social safety net. As such, to prevent catastrophic health expenditure and transition to poverty, the benefit coverage of South Korea's health security system needs to the strengthened.

본 연구는 빈곤 관련 선행연구들이 빈곤의 영향을 측정할 때 빈곤지위, 빈곤대리지표, 빈곤동반 위험요소들을 혼용함으로써 빈곤과 사회정서적 발달 간의 관계를 일관되게 분석해내지 못했다는 문제제기에서 출발한다. 이에 빈곤이 아동의 사회 정서발달에 미치는 영향을 보다 면밀히 분석하기 위하여 욕구소득비 기준으로 산정한 절대빈곤 지위와 기존 국내 선행연구에서 활용된 다양한 빈곤관련 대리 지표를 비교분석하였다. 또한 절대 빈곤 지위를 통제한 상태에서 중요한 빈곤동반 위험요소의 영향력을 분석함으로써 빈곤의 효과와 이러한 빈곤동반 위험요소의 영향력을 체계적으로 비교, 고찰하였다. 분석 대상 자료는 아동가구에 대한 소득정보 및 아동 발달 자료가 체계적으로 수집된 서울아동패널의 1차년도 자료를 활용하였다. 분석 결과, 최저생계비 이하 절대빈곤지위가 공공부조 수급 여부, 주관적인 사회 경제적 지위, 주관적인 경제적 어려움, 영구임대아파트 거주 여부와 같은 빈곤 대리변수들에 비해 보다 일관되게 사회정서적 발달영역과 유의미한 상관을 보였다. 빈곤 지위의 영향력을 통제한 상태에서 빈곤 동반 위험요소의 영향력을 살펴본 결과에서는 아동학대나 구조적 결손 등과 같은 보다 많은 빈곤 동반 위험에 처한 아동들이 사회정서적 발달에 취약한 것으로 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론에서는 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 빈곤 아동에 분석에서 고려해야 할 연구방법론적 함의와 더불어 빈곤아동에 대한 실천적, 정책적 개입 방향을 포괄적으로 제시하였다.

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.

This article aims to measure the impact of economic growth and urbanization on poverty reduction in Vietnam, and verify whether economic growth and urbanization will help reduce poverty rates. Data for this study are tabular data related to growth, urbanization and poverty at the provincial level for the period of nine years, from 2006 to 2014 provided by the Vietnam General Statistics Office and the Vietnam General Department of Customs. The level of economic growth and urbanization mentioned in the study is reflected in such indicators as GDP value, exports value, imports value, urbanization rate and employment rate. The authors used logistic regression models with fixed-effects and logistic regression models with random effects. With 5% confidence level tested by the Chi-Square test of Hausman trial with the fixed-effect model, research results show that: (1) factors with significant negative impact on the poverty rate include imports value, urbanization rate and, employment rate; (2) factors that do not affect the poverty rate include exports value and GDP value. Based on the research results, this study proposes a number of policy recommendations to help promote economic growth, to sustain the urbanization process, and to contribute directly and positively to poverty reduction in Vietnam.
