This paper reviews the previous studies on income and wealth inequality in Korea and provides new findings by analyzing the 2012~2019 Survey of Household Finances and Living Conditions. The household income inequality, which started to rise in the first half of the 1990s, kept rising until 2009 from which it has been subdued. Our decomposition analyses uncover that the largest source of household income inequality is labor income. We also show that, while the extent to which labor income affects inequality is stable during the 2010s, the amount of contribution of business income has decreased and that of transfer income has increased. As for wealth, the largest contribution to inequality is the real estate, and the contribution of the non-living asset is particularly large. The growing market value of the real estate asset during the late 2010s has led to the widened wealth gap between the top- and bottom-decile households, resulting in the overall rise in wealth inequality. The correlation analyses between wealth and various income sources confirm that household income is strongly associated with wealth. The real estate asset has a significant implication on the income of the rich and old-age groups. Contrary to this, labor and business incomes instead of property income are more closely associated with wealth among the poor and the younger generations. In conclusion, we emphasize the necessity of the utilization of high-quality data such as the administrative data and the panel data to extend the studies of inequality in the future.
