Abstract

Recently, welfare policies for young single-person households have been implemented. However, there policies lack consideration for the socioeconomic heterogeneity of young people. In this context, this study typified young single-person households by socioeconomic status and analyzed welfare policies preferred by each type. To this end, this study used a sample from the Social Survey of Statistics Korea and employed various statistical methods. Our analysis found the socioeconomic status of young single-person households to be heterogeneous, and they were classified into five types: “high-achieving”, “insecure”, “settled”, “alienated,” and “optimistic”. Not only did the sociodemographic characteristics vary by each type, but they also showed different preferences in seven welfare-policy types (employment, income, housing, safety, health, care, and culture). The findings suggest that not only is it important to consider the heterogeneity within the group in understanding today’s young single-person households, but it also needs to be actively reflected in the policy making and implementation processes in the future.
