Against the backdrop of increasing interest in the daily living conditions and quality of life of low-income groups, this study is aimed at developing qualitative data on the welfare entry-exit dynamics and related issues of low-income households. The authors here introduce a mixed approach combining quantitative and qualitative methods, and examines the importance of establishing qualitative panel data which would further the understanding of the poverty dynamics, everyday experiences and inter-familial relationships of low-income households. This study then establishes qualitative panel data on low-income groups based on in-depth interviews with a sample of 100 households, culled in a way to represent the characteristically varying subjects of the Korea Welfare Panel Study, about their employment, welfare transitory dynamics, interfamilial relationships, and psychological situations. The authors also present suggestions as to how in combination with quantitative data, the qualitative approach can better contribute to both academic and policy developments.
