In 2008, the Basic Old-Age Pension System was introduced. Although a limited amount of data is available and it's been just about one year since its introduction, which might make it difficult to find out changes in the behavior of the recipients, it is urgent to assess the socioeconomic impact of the Basic Old-Age Pension System since great amount of budget has already been spent on it. In this regard, this study reviews the multifaceted impact of the Basic Old-Age Pension System by analyzing the data set of the total older persons provided by the National Pension Service Center and the data of the 3rd wave of Korea Welfare Panel Study conducted by the Korea Institute for Health and Welfare Affairs. Also, the survey of "Living Profiles and Changes of Older Persons after the Implementation of the Basic Old-Age Pension System" was conducted to find out the living profiles of older persons. The survey was conducted on 1,300 older persons from January 9, 2009 to January 21, 2009.
This study consists of six parts. The first part reviews previous studies and provides profiles of the respondents of each data set. The second part analyzes changes in income and poverty rate among older persons. At the third part, the impact of the Basic Old-Age Pension System is assessed particularly on the labor participation behavior of older persons and private transfer to older persons, which are the main income sources of older persons in Korea. The fourth part takes a close look at the differences between the Basic Old-Age Pension recipients and non-recipients in terms of savings and spendings, social participation, perception and attitudes towards securing income for later life, and quality of life. The fifth part reviews the profiles of the Basic Old-Age Pension recipients and points of view concerning the reform of the Basic Old-Age Pension. Lastly, the social impact of the Basic Old-Age Pension is evaluated in terms of the inter- and intra-income redistribution and changes in welfare policy at the municipal level.
