[National Future Strategic Insight] Analysis of Social Risks by Life Cycle: Focusing on the Difference Based on Income Level and Poverty (No. 47)

Date : 2022-06-13 Writer : Lee Chae-jeong

This report categorizes the social risks (mental health, physical health, and unemployment) experienced by individuals across the life cycle and analyzed how the impact of these risks varies according to existing inequality factors (monetary poverty and material deprivation).

The report has empirically analyzed that poverty is associated with a range of life cycle risks, and that material deprivation, which implies direct experiences of poverty, is linked to a wide range of areas, from physical and mental health to unemployment.

Based on this, the report emphasized that the various life cycle crises triggered by experiences of poverty are sequential and overlapping, and therefore, there is a need for a systematic view of the patterns of risks according to the life cycle and to develop a detailed policy design that takes into account the relationship with experiences of poverty.
