LIS 기준의 소득개념과 방법론을 이용하여 계산된 한국의 가처분소득 기준의 소득불평등도(지니계수)는 1996년에 0.298, 2000년에 0.358로 나타나 소득불평등도가 외환위기 전후로 상당히 상승되었다. 이러한 가처분소득 기준의 불평등도는 다른 OECD국가에 비하여 1996년경에는 중간보다 약간 높은 수준이었으나 2000년에는 미국, 멕시코와 함께 상당히 높은 수준의 그룹에 속하고 있다. 한편 정부의 소득재분배기능이 작동하기 이전의 소득, 즉 정부로부터의 공전이전지출과 조세납부 이전 소득인 시장소득 기준의 불평등도는 1996년(0.302)에 비해 2000년(0.374)에 역시 상승하기는 하였으나 양자 모두 OECD국가 중에서는 중간이하의 수준을 보이고 있다. 또한 한국은 OECD국가에 비하여 시장소득과 가처분소득의 불평등도 차이가 아주 적은 것이 특징으로 나타나고 있는데, 이는 기본적으로 외국에 비하여 국민연금제도 등 공적연금제도의 미성숙에 기인한 것으로 파악되고 있다. 한편 빈곤율 역시 국제비교시에 외환위기 전후로 타국에 비하여 상당히 상승하여 2000년에 OECD국가 중 높은 수준을 보이고 있다.

우리는 현행 복지제도의 노동공급 역유인 효과를 방지 완화하기 위하여 4인 가구 기준 연소득 5,000만 원 이하 가구에 대해 소득부족액을 기준으로 보조금을 지원하는 한국형 음소득세인 안심소득제(safety income system)를 제안한다. 이 제도 하에서는 노동공급 증가로 국내총생산이 상승하고, 저소득가구의 처분가능소득 증대로 소득격차도 완화될 수 있다. 가계동향조사 미시자료를 사용하여 검증한 결과 안심소득제의 소득격차 완화 정도는 기존제도 및 기본소득제에 비해 월등한 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: As an important provision to protect the rights and interests of low-income groups, it is worth studying whether the minimum wage policy can improve the quality of life for people. Research design, data and methodology: Using data from the 2015 and 2017 China General Social Survey (CGSS), this paper employs the logit model to estimate the probability of an individual's annual income being higher than the per capita disposable income of their province. It also utilizes the DID model to analyze the impact of minimum wage increases on individuals' annual incomes. Results: The analysis reveals that an overall increase in the minimum wage raises the probability of an individual's annual income exceeding the per capita disposable income by 3%. Among them, the probability increased by 2.2% for males and by 3.2% for females. Furthermore, the impact of the minimum wage on annual income varies depending on the individual's income level. Notably, the most positive and significant impact is observed for individuals whose income level is close to the minimum wage standard. Conclusions: This provides evidence that the increase in the minimum wage has effectively improved the quality of life for the population.

Korea is entering the class of aging population nations. This paper investigates the extent demographic factors and the aging population affect the saving rate, using an extended life-cycle/permanent-income hypothesis on saving. The results of the tests with Korean household survey data from 1977 to 2002 reveal that real saving rates increase when the duration of lifetime and per household real disposable income rise, and decrease when the growth rate of income and net worth-to-GDP ratio rises. The growth rate of per household real disposable income has negative effects, suggesting that households calculate their life cycle income in a forward looking manner. The elasticities with respect to a change in the lifetime horizon and the growth rate of per household income are 0.58 and -0.03, respectively. A one percent rise in the net worth to GDP ratio reduces the saving rate by 0.3 percent. A one percent rise in per household income increases it by 0.33 percent. The younger-age and the elder-age dependency ratios have insignificant effects on the household saving rate behavior. When Korean life expectancy rises, the private saving rate declines modestly and the government saving rate declines substantially. The economy's real net saving rate declines from 33 percent in 2002 to 30 percent by the year 2030.

This paper investigates a link between the significant decline in the growth of domestic demand and the dampened ripple effects from the export sector in Korea since the East Asian financial crisis. The dampened ripple effects are closely linked to the changed investment behaviors of the Korean large-sized exporting firms since the crisis: they do not invest in their export earnings any more to create new industries; they tend to use more foreign value added contents for their exports and to increase outward direct investment by actively participating in global value chains. The paper also examines a link between the growth of domestic demand and the growth of household disposable income and presents reasons for the decline in the growth of household disposable income since the East Asian financial crisis.

전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 물가(物價)를 안정(安定)시킬 뿐만 아니라 서민생활의 부담을 덜어줌으로써 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에 기여하는 것처럼 이해되고 있으나 과연 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)가 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에 기여하는 것인가. 본(本) 논문(論文)에서는 우리나라 전력요금변화(電力料金變化)의 소득분배효과(所得分配效果) 측면(側面)을 좀 더 구체적으로 검토해 보았다. 전력요금변화(電力料金變化)는 세가지 경로를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향을 미치게 된다. 첫째는 전력요금(電力料金) 가격구조(價格構造)를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향을 미치게 된다. 우리나라 전력요금구조(電力料金構造)는 가정용(家庭用) 전력요금(電力料金)이 산업용(産業用) 전력요금(電力料金)보다 더 높기 때문에 일반서민계층(一般庶民階層)으로부터 요금(料金)을 징수하여 산업자본가(産業資本家)들을 보조해주는 결과(結果)가 되고 있어 전력요금구조(電力料金構造) 자체(自體)는 소득분배(所得分配)에 역진적(逆進的)이라고 할 수 있다. 둘째는 가계전력(家計電力) 소비지출(消費支出)의 변화(變化)를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향(影響)을 미치게 된다. 가계소득계층별(家計所得階層別) 전력비지출(電力費支出) 비중(比重)은 저소득계층(低所得階層)이 상대적으로 더 큰 것으로 나타나고 있어 동일률(同一率)의 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 저소득계층(低所得階層)에게 상대적으로 많은 절감효과(節減效果)를 유발(誘發)하게 되어 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에 도움이 된다. 그러나 가계소득(家計所得) 중 전력비지출(電力費支出) 비중(比重)이 불과 1~2%에 머물고 있기 때문에 그로 인한 소득분배(所得分配) 개선효과(改善效果)는 아주 미미하다. 셋째는 기업(企業)의 원가절감(原價節減)과 이로 인한 당기순이익(當期純利益) 증가(增加)를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향을 미치게 된다. 당기순이익(當期純利益)이 증가(增加)될 때 일차적인 혜택을 보는 계층(階層)은 산업자본가(産業資本家)들이며 이들은 대체로 고소득계층(高所得階層)에 속한다. 따라서 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 고소득(高所得) 산업자본가(産業資本家) 계층(階層)의 소득(所得)을 증대(增大)시키는 측면(側面)에서는 계층간(階層間)의 소득격차(所得隔差)를 심화시키게 된다. 전력요금(電力料金)이 10% 인하(引下)될 경우를 가정하여 소득분배효과(所得分配效果)를 계량적(計量的)으로 분석해 본 결과 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 전력비지출(電力費支出) 절감(節減)을 통하여 저소득계층(低所得階層)의 가처분소득(可處分所得)을 증대(增大)시켜 주는 효과가 있는 것은 사실이다. 그러나 기업(企業)의 당기순이익(當期純利益)을 급격히 증가(增加)시켜 고소득계층(高所得階層)의 소득(所得)을 증대(增大)시켜 주는 결과를 가져오게 됨으로써 전체적으로는 계층간(階層間)의 소득격차(所得隔差)를 오히려 심화시키는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 따라서 국민경제적(國民經濟的) 차원(次元)에서의 소득분배(所得分配)는 별로 개선(改善)되지 못하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 물론 전력요금(電力料金)의 조정에 있어서 소득분배(所得分配) 문제(問題)를 가장 우선적으로 고려하여야 한다는 의미는 아니다. 전력요금조정(電力料金調整)은 물가안정(物價安定), 수출산업(輸出産業) 경쟁력(競爭力) 강화(强化), 에너지소비절약 등 여러가지 국민경제적(國民經濟的) 요소(要素)들을 고려하여 결정(決定)되고 있다. 다만 물가안정(物價安定)이나 수출산업지원(輸出産業支援)을 위하여 전력요금(電力料金)을 인하(引下)하는 경우에도 현행가격체계(現行價格體系)와 소비구조하(消費構造下)에서는 그것이 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에는 전혀 도움을 주지 못하고 오히려 소득분배상태(所得分配狀態)를 악화시키고 있음을 유의할 필요가 있다.

The 78 housekeeping books were analyzed to find out the structure of income and expenditure of the farm household. The selected farm households were classified into 4 different farming types such as rice-cultivating, vinyl house, fruit-growing, and livestock farming. The results are summarized as follows : 1) The farm housekeeper ought to rationally manage farm household money income, because agricultural income was preponderated to several months regardless of farming types. 2) Farm household income was primarily dependent upon agricultural income and non-agricultural income in the livestock farming and rice-cultivating farm houshold respectively. 3) order of living expenses of the total farm households were recreation and entertainment expenses, food expenses, education expenses, and housing, fuel & light expenses in size. The major expenses were education expenses, food expenses and miscellaneous expenses in rice-cultivating, vinyl house and livestock farming, and fruit growing farm households respectively. 4) Balance of income and expenses of the farm household, s its time, size, and pattern of increase and decrease, was different by farming types. 5) Household expenses increased in February, May, August and December, though disposable income reversely decreased in February, April, August and December compared to each former month. So, special consideration should be taken into budget planning for household money management in February, August and December.

Catastrophic health expenditure refers to when a household spends more than 40 percent of disposable income for out-of-pocket-expenses for healthcare. This study investigates the percentage of South Korean household which experienced the catastrophic health expenditure between 2006 and 2016 with the National Survey of Tax and Benefit and the Household Income and Expenditure Survey data. Percentage of households with the catastrophic health expenditure and tread tests were conducted with weight variable. The results of the National Survey of Tax and Benefit and the Household Income and Expenditure Survey showed 2.17% and 2.92% of households experienced the catastrophic health expenditure in 2016. In trend analysis, the National Survey of Tax and Benefit showed a statistically significant decreasing trend in the proportion of households with the catastrophic health expenditure (annual percentage change [APC]=-4.03, p<0.0001). However, the Household Income and Expenditure Survey revealed a statistically significant increasing trend (APC=1.43, p<0.0001). In conclusion, this study suggests that optimal healthcare alternatives are needed for the catastrophic health expenditure and monitoring low-income households.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the economic characteristics of single-person households and explain the effects of them on the food service industry. Methods: For this paper, I analysed the data related with single-person households and the food service industry in two surveys, Household Income and Expenditure Survey and Wholesale and Retail Trade Survey published by Statistics Korea from 2006 to 2015, with an empirical test performed utilizing these data. The indicators of the age of householders, disposable income per capita, and the rate of household of worker were compared between single and multi-person households. Furthermore, sales and the number of establishments in the food service industry were used as industry-variables, and disposable income, eating-out expenses and the rate of single-person households as the household-variables were used in a panel analysis. Results: The results showed that household incomes were lower, age of householder was higher, and the percentage of household of worker was lower in single-person households in contrast to multi-person households. According to the empirical analysis, eating-out expenses of single-person households, in comparison to multi-person households, has significantly positive effects on the growth of the food service industry. This means that the recent trend of increasing numbers of single-person households may help the growth of the food service industry. Conclusions: The growth in the rate of single-person households has been one of the most striking demographic shifts in recent decades. Their economic characteristics and the effects were analyzed to give the managers in the food service industry and the policy-makers useful information in dealing with this new trend. Moreover, in considering the fact that single-person households eat out more frequently than multi-person households, the food service business should develop the managerial strategies focused on acclimatizing to single-person households.
