우리나라의 친빈곤적 성장(pro-poor growth) 분석

초록

This study examines, in the light of the concept of “pro-poor growth,” how Korea’s economic growth during 1982 and 2006 has affected poverty. With utilizing annually adjusted poverty thresholds, the effects of the 24-year growth have varied from one poverty indicator to another. For instance, despite negligible changes in the number of the poor, the income levels of those living below the poverty threshold have increased as government supports for the poor, particularly in the late 1990s, have increased. However, when the same poverty line was used for all the sample years, the economic growth has been pro-poor in terms of both quantity and quality.
