Population Age Structures and National Transfer Accounts
in Korea
Chong-Bum An and Eul-Sik Gim
Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, Korea
I. Introduction
• Apply the NTA to Korea
• Compare the results to those of Taiwan and the United States
Lee, R., A. Mason, and T. Miller (2003), From Transfers to Individual Responsibility: Implications for Savings and Capital Accumulation in Taiwan and the United States, Scandinavian Journal of Economics 105(3):
339-357.
- Age-profile of production and consumption
- Asset reallocations
- Public and private transfers
II. Population Aging, Intergenerational Transfers and
Savings in Korea
1. Population Aging
• Demographic transition in Korea is dramatic.
- Total fertility ratio decreases from 4.53 in 1970 to 1.19 in 2003.
- Life expectancy increases from the age of 62.3 in 1971 to 77.9 in 2005, and projected to 83.3 in 2050.
very rapid population aging.
- Old age population is 7.2% in 2000 (aging society),
to 14.3% in 2018 (aged society)
to 20.8% in 2026 (post-aged society).
2. Intergenerational Transfers
• Familial Support and Family Arrangements– ratio of parents living together with children
• 54.7% in 1994 to 42.7% in 2002
– ratio of familial support for parents• 62.1% in 1994 to 53.3% in 2002.
– ratio of households in which both adult children and old parents live together
• 20.6% in 1975 to 9.4% in 2000.
• Social Security System
• Social insurances– National Pension Scheme (introduced in 1988)
– National Health Insurance Scheme (introduced in 1977, expanded to all citizens in 1989),
– Employment Insurance (introduced in 1995)
– Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance (introduced in 1964).
• Public assistances– National Basic Livelihood Security System (introduced in 1961, expanded to
people under minimum cost of living in 2000),
– medical aid, veterans’ relief, and disaster relief.
• Social welfare services– protect the disabled, the aged, children, women, and mentally handicapped, etc.
• three occupational pension insurances– government employees pension (introduced 1960)
– military pension (separated from government employees pension in 1963)
– teachers pension (introduced in 1973).
• Education
– Total public education expenditures
• 4.60% of GDP in 1977 to 7.1% in 2000.
• government’s burden
– 2.44% in 1977 to 4.3% in 2000
• private sector’s burden
– 2.16% in 1977 to 2.8% in 2000
– Private education expenditures (elementary, secondary)
• 0.7% in 1977 to 2.9% in 2000.
3. Savings
• total savings– 10% in 1960s to 40.4% in 1988
– decreases to 34.9% in 2004.
• Public sector still shows high savings rate after financial crisis
• corporations increases savings.
• But individuals decreases savings.
III. National Transfer Flow Accounts in Korea
1. Data Sources
• records of public institutions– National Pension Statistical Yearbook
– National Health Insurance Statistical Yearbook
• income and expenditure surveys– National Survey of Household Income and Expenditure
(NSHIE)
– Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS)
– Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES).
2. National Accounts and National Transfer Accounts
• National Disposable Income and its Appropriation Account (NDIAA)
• Capital Transaction Account (CTA)
• Financial Transactions Account (FTA)
• External Transactions Account (ETA)
• Roe E represents the conversion of National Accounts (NA) into National Transfer Flow Accounts (NTFA)
• Income and Capital Accounts by Institutional Sectors and corresponding NTFA.
• General government in National Accounts by Institutional Sectors is classified into public sector.
• And non-financial corporations, financial corporations, and individuals are classified into private sector.

4. International Comparison
• The Lifecycle Deficits
– In three countries, children and the elderly consume substantially more than they produce.
• In Korea, young adults begin to produce as much as they consume at age 27
• in Taiwan at age 22, in the US at age 24.
• In Korea, adults no longer produce as much as they consume at age 55
• in Taiwan at age 56, in the US at age 57.
• The span of years during which there is a lifecycle surplus is surprisingly short in three countries – in particular, 27 years in Korea.
• production age profiles
– similar until adults reach their early 40s.
– Between the mid 40s and late 50s, however, the income profiles diverge.
• age-profile of consumption
– in Korea, increases continuously to late 10s, and decreases slowly over age of 20
– that of United States during that period increases continuously.
– The case of Taiwan is similar to Korea.
• steeper consumption profile in the US.
• Korea and Taiwan are relatively flat.
• Per capita consumption by those 65 and older was 136 % in the US of per capita consumption of those 20-64– 84% in Korea; 86 % in Taiwan.
– consider just non-health consumption,
– the elderly and non-elderly adults in the US had virtually identical consumption,
– while the elderly of Korea and Taiwan had non-health consumption equal to about 77%, 75% respectively of the non-health consumption of adults between the ages of 20 and 64.

• The Reallocation System
• In three countries, asset reallocations put inflows to most working ages, while public and private transfers put outflows at the same ages,
• but in Korea asset reallocations generate inflows over mid 40s when we estimate private asset income and savings from the survey.
• support children are quite similar in three countries.
• Transfers dominate the reallocation system for children.
• Private intra-household transfers accounted for about 60% in three countries.
• old age reallocation systems are quite different
– For Korea elderly asset reallocations plays very important role 79.3% of lifecycle reallocations
71% in the US; 50.1% in Taiwan
– No Dis-savings in Korea
17.4% in the US, -0.4% in Taiwan
– Bequests amounted to 10.3% in Korea
16.8% in the US; 16.6% in Taiwan.
• In the US, public transfers are particular important.– Private transfers to the elderly are small in the US.
• In Taiwan, Public transfers were 27.4% of total lifecycle reallocations for the elderly– private transfers excluding bequests were 39.1% of
lifecycle reallocations.
• In Korea, public transfers amounted to 11.1% – private transfers, 9.6% of total reallocations to the elderly.

• Sources of Support
• In three countries about 3~4% is from the earnings of children.
– Inter vivos transfers constitute 54% in Korea; close to 60% in Taiwan and in the US.
– Public transfers constitute 29% in Korea; 37% in the US; 34% in Taiwan.
• The finance of consumption by the elderly is different
– Work plays a similar role in three countries
– Asset reallocations and inter vivos transfers are more important in Korea;
– asset reallocations and public transfers are more important in the US;
– Private, familial transfers are more important in Taiwan.

IV. Conclusions
• Korea is now experiencing the fastest population aging in the world.
• Intergenerational Transfers in Korea experiences the transition era
– co-residence is decreasing
– dependency on the social programs expands.
• Growth also moves to a stage of slow speed.
• Thus, a study of the reallocation of resources across age groups in Korea passing through such the transition can draw the sufficient attention.
• The development of National Transfer Accounts enables us to show the current status of Korean intergeneration transfer and to predict the future.
