2000년 이후 한국의 기회불평등 추이

초록

This research tries to decompose the observed economic inequality into the part due to unequal opportunities and the part due to differential exercise of individual effort, using the data set constructed from the Korea Labor and Income Panel Studies for the period of 2000～2012. We find that the unequal opportunities are found to account for between 6 and 20 percent of income inequality. Also, females compared to males show higher level of unequal opportunities relatively. Meanwhile, as a trend, unequal opportunities increase for males aged 30～39 although they decrease in general in Korea since 2000.
