Using the Korean Labor and Income Study, this study examines healthy life expectancy by gender and education for middle-aged and older Koreans. First, the data indicate that Korean men have higher total life expectancy but that the gender gap decreases with age. However, while women live longer lives than men, they are more likely to live more years in an unhealthy state. Second, persons with a less than high school education have shorter total and healthy life expectancies than those with a high school education or more but they are also more likely to live more years in the unhealthy state. This study also shows that education has a greater impact on healthy life expectancy than total life expectancy, indicating that healthy life expectancy is a better measure of health inequalities. Finally, the difference in total life expectancy by education is greater among men but the effect of education on healthy life expectancy is substantial for both men and women.
