2021년 한국복지패널 조사·분석 보고서

Abstract

2006년 출범한 『한국복지패널』 조사는 한국보건사회연구원과 서울대학교 사회복지연구소에 의해 공동으로 수행되고 있으며, 2006년 1차 조사 이후 2021년 16차 조사를 완료했다. 『한국복지패널』은 우리나라의 대표적인 패널데이터로 국민의 복지욕구 및 복지실태를 동태적으로 보여줄 수 있는 자료로써 그 유용성을 인정받아 사회복지학·경제학·사회학·가정학·보건학 등 다양한 학문 분야에서 훌륭한 학제 간 연구의 기회를 제공하고 있다.

이 보고서는 올 해 조사가 완료된 제16차 한국복지패널의 조사 내용과 기초적인 분석 결과를 담고 있으며, 『한국복지패널』을 활용하는 이용자들이 자료를 이해하는데 도움을 주고자 작성되었다.

Social welfare policy should cope flexibly with the changes in the people's economic status, consumption expenditures, value judgments, and the status of economy-wide income distribution, poverty and inequality. However, existing cross-sectional survey data are not sufficient for analysis of the socio-economic dynamics because the age effect and the cohort effect are not identifiable. In order to overcome such limitations, Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs (KIHASA) and Seoul National University (SNU) organized the ‘Korea Welfare Panel Study (KOWEPS)’ in 2006. In 2021, 16th wave of KOWEPS was carried out. There were three types of questionnaires for the survey: the first was for the households, the second for the household members aged 15 and over, and the third for the special topics(supplements). The content of KOWEPS is composed of socio- economic information, welfare status, and attitude on the welfare or something for individuals and households. The special topic for this wave is ‘Children’. In this 16th wave, we completed about 5,996 household samples including both of the original and the added new households. This descriptive report provides a wide variety of contents about the general features, the economic conditions, the employment status, the social security, the welfare needs and the special topics for the 16th year surveys. The results could be a reference data for the researchers who would use KOWEPS.
